Agelo L. Reppas is Special Counsel in the Appellate Practice Group, concentrating in all phases of civil appellate and post-trial litigation. She has briefed and orally argued appeals in a variety of practice areas, including construction litigation, fidelity and surety, insurance coverage, premises liability, professional liability and transportation litigation. Agelo has represented clients in multiple state and federal jurisdictions, including California, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Her recent victories include upholding a judgment for a CGL insurer that it owed no coverage in connection with a trademark infringement action. Kim Seng Co. v. Great Am. Ins. Co. of N.Y., 101 Cal. Rptr. 3d 537 (Cal. Ct. App. 2009). Agelo also obtained complete reversal and entry of judgment for two CGL insurers before the Illinois and Ohio appellate courts. Stoneridge Dev. Co., Inc. v. Essex Ins. Co., 888 N.E.2d 633 (Ill. App. Ct. 2008); Blake v. Thornton, 914 N.E.2d 1102 (Ohio Ct. App. 2009).
Agelo also acts as monitoring appellate counsel at the trial level in high-exposure cases, partnering with the trial attorneys to prepare dispositive pre-trial motions, motions in limine, motions for directed verdict, jury instructions and verdict forms; identifying and preserving errors for appeal; ensuring the record is complete; and preparing and arguing post-trial motions, all of which postures the case for a successful resolution on appeal.
Agelo received a J.D. from Washington University School of Law in 2000, and a B.S. (Microbiology) and B.A. (Philosophy) from the University of Iowa in 1995.
