Constance Nelson Zarkowski

Constance Zarkowski received her Juris Doctor from Ventura College of Law and was admitted to practice law July 5, 2000. With a strong background in the health insurance profession, law became a second career. Her practice encompasses employment and labor law, representing employees in wrongful termination and discrimination actions under the Fair Employment and Housing Act, with a special focus on sexual harassment cases. She also represents plaintiffs with health insurance issues, working diligently to resolve them with the carrier, but not hesitating to litigate when the facts justify a civil action. Constance has been a licensed California Life and Health Insurance agent since 1978. In her various positions with the National Association of Health Underwriters, Constance participated in personal meetings, “think- tanks” and conferences with California legislators, U.S. Senators and Congresspersons dealing with health insurance reforms on both state and national levels. She received many awards for her consumer activities. She has made herself available to other attorneys as an expert consultant on the subject of health insurance issues. Because of her varied background and experience in dealing with legal disputes, Constance completed mediation training with California State University, Dominguez Hills and is available to mediate cases involving health insurance and employment disputes.
