Meet Josephine

Josephine concentrates her practice on General Liability, Premises Liability, Labor Law, Construction Defect, Property Damage, and Insurance Coverage matters.

Before joining Gallo Vitucci Klar LLP, Josephine managed complex, high-exposure defense cases involving premises liability, motor vehicle accidents, UM/SUM arbitration and special proceedings, SIU fraud investigations, construction/design defects, and property damage claims. She is a skilled negotiator, frequently achieving favorable settlements in multimillion-dollar construction and design litigation.

In private practice, Josephine also served as general counsel to one of the largest privately held Special Education Service Centers and Academies, where she successfully advised, negotiated, litigated, and arbitrated a broad range of employment matters and contractual issues. Her experience extends to defending corporate employment actions at the state, federal, and administrative levels, and she notably secured a favorable settlement in the high-profile Monsanto mass tort litigation for plaintiff clients.

With more than 20 years of legal experience, Josephine brings deep knowledge and a client-centered approach to every case she handles at Gallo Vitucci Klar LLP. She believes open communication and candid dialogue are the foundations of a successful legal practice.

Outside of work, Josephine enjoys traveling with her family, cheering on her children at sporting events, hiking with her German Shepherd, swimming, and refining her culinary talents. She is fluent in Italian.
