Jones Jones LLC is pleased to announce that Partner Stacee Vaikness is joining the Jones Jones Construction Practice. The Practice spans both New York and New Jersey and is comprised of partners Rosanna Shamash, Dana Sabghir, and Katherine Caracappa. The team is supported by Kristina Jones and Christine Diana in New Jersey.
A member of the Jones Jones team since 2011, Stacee heads the Jones Jones appeals department, as well as the controverted cases claims department. She has worked closely on fraud and construction cases, focusing her work on controverted cases and appeals. Stacee litigates in front of a law judge daily and has several major wins under her belt. Among Stacee’s wins is a schedule loss of use (SLU) case in which Stacee and her team saved the client nearly $1 million.
“As Jones Jones continues to grow, we are excited to have Stacee join the Construction Practice,” said Managing Partner Sarah Thomas. “Stacee is an aggressive litigator, using her experience in the appeals space and negotiation skills to secure positive outcomes on behalf of the client. These skills translate well to the construction space, which requires a persistent and proactive approach due to the layers of complexity involved in each case. We look forward to following Stacee’s success in this new space.”
In her current work for Jones Jones, Stacee regularly reviews controverted construction cases at their inception. This review and her previous work on construction cases gives Stacee extensive experience and an understanding of the landscape. As she joins the construction team in an official capacity, Stacee will focus her work on appeals, issues of coverage, negotiation and settlements.
“As a tenured member of the Jones Jones team, I have worked closely with construction cases for years. My previous work provided me with the experience, passion and desire necessary to join the construction team,” said Stacee. “I am looking forward to using my knowledge of the space, my experience in appeals and controverted claims to secure more wins for Jones Jones’ clients.”
