Peter M. Moore

Peter Moore (Partner-McLean, VA) and Kirsten Curtis (Partner-Portland, OR) will present the Wilson Elser Forum webinar “First Party Claims: Effectively Dealing with and Using Claims Consultants” on May 7, 2026. This presentation will provide an overview of good first-party claims handling, and drill down on when to retain, and how to effectively use independent adjusters, engineers, meteorologists, and other experts and consultants to investigate claims and push back on questionable ones. The presenters will also discuss the effective use of the appraisal process and provide practical examples from real claims in which consultants played a significant role in their resolution, along with lessons gleaned from those cases.
