I grew up in a small town in western Massachusetts. When I say small, I don’t mean like one traffic light small, our town actually had 3 lights. I grew up surrounded by people who knew my family and were willing to help when it was needed. This sense of community has always been extremely important to me and it motivates me to go that extra mile to recover for my clients.
Like many attorneys I went to law school because I wanted to make a difference, to stand up and fight for the little guy. For many attorneys these ideals often have to take a backseat as new lawyers try to earn a living or compete for a limited number of positions. Fortunately, I was able to find a home with a unique law firm in Pinellas Park that shares these values and is willing to fight for those who have been treated unfairly by insurance companies.
Sometimes, this means I’m suing a home or car insurance company because they unjustly denied a claim, or they are trying to get away with paying less than is owed. Other times, I’m answering questions and providing legal guidance about policies, coverage options, how to file a claim, or just demystifying the process for policy holders. Dealing with a loss to your home or automobile can be crippling as you wait for an insurance company to call you back with a decision or amount that they are going to pay.
I may not have heard every excuse from an insurance company, but I’ve heard a lot of them! Sometimes, just explaining the process or confirming what the insurance carrier should be doing is all that my clients are looking for.
