Jill Allen is a partner in our Insurance Defense group. She has been practicing law for eight years.
Why did Jill choose to work at Rupp Pfalzgraf?
Jill chose to work at Rupp Pfalzgraf because of the culture more than anything. Attorneys can work in an industry that can be stuffy, and at Rupp Pfalzgraf, we have a good balance of making things serious and professional, but also comfortable and relaxed.
Within her practice, what type of work does Jill find most rewarding?
Within her practice, she finds it most rewarding on the defense side when she can get claims that shouldn’t have been brought to begin with dismissed based on the law. It’s a satisfying feeling not just for herself but also for the clients and for the carriers that she is doing the work for. The clients are the people that are named in the lawsuit and in insurance defense, the carrier is the one who would actually hire her to defend the insured. So all around, when they have claims that she can get dismissed by law, that’s the most satisfying for her all around.
What is a fun fact about Jill that people may be surprised to learn?
A fun fact about Jill is that she is a Pilates or a Lagree instructor, Pilates is actually called Lagree. She also played hockey in college.
What is Jill’s best legal tip?
Jill’s best legal tip, especially in this day in age, is to document record, and have everything in writing regardless of where you are. Not just for her industry or her practice group, but for every practice group to cross your t’s and dot your i’s. It just makes life a lot easier.
