Our client had attempted an amicable settlement with her adult stepchildrento no avail. The issue was the  identity of the correct beneficiary of her deceased spouse'slife insurance policy.  After six days of trial, the case was successfully resolved  Diane Aisnworth and Zedrick Braden III were counsel for the widow, the plaintiff, and Leahy, Eisenberg, Lord, Biseell A& Brook and Anderson, Bennett represented Primerica Life Insurance Company, the adult stepchildren and the insurance broker, all of whom were named defendants.
