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.

Selected Results

Specific recoveries after owners faced no offer, low offers, or incomplete repair positions.

Representative results are examples only. Every matter depends on its own facts, evidence, timing, contracts, policies, parties, defenses, damages, and applicable law. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

Recovery
$1.115 million recovered
Insurer Offer
$10,534.02
