Results
Actual recoveries. Serious property-loss disputes.
Selected results involving construction defects, insurance underpayments, hidden defects, commercial property losses, condo repair disputes, and repair-scope exposure.
Actual recovery
The numbers below reflect resolved matters, not abstract examples.
Offer gap matters
Several results began with no settlement offer or a sharply underpaid insurer offer.
Fact-specific
Every case turns on its own facts, evidence, and the law that applies.
How results are built
Built for the whole repair problem, not just the lawsuit.
The representative matters below came from more than starting a lawsuit. The work required understanding the damage, developing proof, testing the repair number, communicating the path, and pursuing recovery when the facts and economics supported it.
