On November 18th 2022, the New South Wales Central West town of Molong was devastated by a flash flooding event. More than 100 millimetres of rain fell in a six-hour period.  Kirsty Evans – an experienced commercial lawyer who also operates a farming enterprise in Molong – spurred into action. Kirsty did what she knew best – and lodged the insurance claims for Molong’s local business owners. And then - the insurance claims started being denied. 

Kirsty, in partnership with her Orange legal firm Cheney Suthers and others in the community – did not give up the fight. What they’ve achieved is truly remarkable. Let’s listen to what Kirsty – termed the Flood Victim’s Warrior by the NSW Law Society – has to say.
