Kevin M. Apollo

Kevin Apollo provides three decades of experience litigating insurance coverage disputes across the country on behalf of leading insurance companies.

Kevin takes an analytical approach to counsel insurers in litigation related to complex insurance coverage matters and in response to bad faith claims, often concerning third party liability. These disputes include commercial general liability insurance, first-party property insurance, automobile/fleet liability insurance issues and professional liability policies in jurisdictions throughout the country.

He also is frequently retained to prepare appeals in cases where his clients received an adverse jury verdict. Kevin is extolled for his thoroughness in reviewing trial transcripts and all filings related to the case and then delivering an extensive analysis. He has managed appellate matters in both state and federal courts.

Many of Kevin’s matters relate to insurance coverage disputes arising out of a personal injury, construction accidents such as crane collapses, environmental damages, including hurricanes, and mass tort bodily injury claims. He was involved in the litigation surrounding claims from the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. He similarly worked on claims arising from the One Meridian Plaza fire in Philadelphia.

Kevin earned his J.D. from Dickinson School of Law and his B.A. from Pennsylvania State University.
