This case involved homeowners whose wind insurance claim was denied because their mortgage company forgot to pay the premium. Our firm was successful in suing the mortgage company for the damages and received attorneys fees for the clients as well.

"Thanks, Jeff, for getting us the money to fix our roof. I had almost given up... Nice working with you."
- Keith S

Involving the unfortunately typical denial of a high-end roof by the insurance company, this case is common in the wake of hurricanes and other extreme storms. Insurance companies make it a practice to deny roof claims as not warranting replacement from wind damage when the value of those roofs are high. Mr. Berniard, on behalf of his client, successfully sued the wind insurer and ensured Keith S. received full compensation for his roof claim.

"We were very satisfied with the swift and expert handling of our home owner's claim. Thank you for the generous and fair settlement you were able to negotiate on our behalf. Without your help we would not have been able to complete the repair to our home. Thank you and God bless. You can count on us as a client if ever we should have the need for legal services again."
- Harold and Adriann W

This case involved the unfortunately standard practice of a certain insurer of last result underpaying the client's insurance claim in hopes that they would not challenge it.

"Jeff did a great job on helping us on our claim against our home owners insurance provider. Thank you. If the need ever arises again we would not hesitate to contact him again."
- Karl T

Before Mr. Berniard's involvement this client was made to endure investigations by the insurance company that included, 3 adjusters and 2 different engineers reviewing his property. After Mr. Berniard was retained to represent Karl T., the insurance company was forced to turn over the entire claims file for his review. Mr. Berniard was able to document various misdoings within that claims file that could be used against the insurance company. A successful six figure settlement was reached quickly after Mr. Berniard pointed out the existence of the documents that surely would have called for bad faith penalties.

This case involved the insurance company trying to use a flood line to denial the client of his rightful recovery. Mr. Berniard's experts were able to prove that the damages were actually caused by the wind forces associated with the hurricane and a successful recovery occurred thereafter.

- Amico R

This case was against an insurance agent who negligently failed to inform his client of the correct amount of coverage that should have been procured to ensure all of his losses were covered. Mr. Berniard was able to defeat several Motions by the defense counsel who sought to have the case dismissed outright. After defeating these Motions the insurance company quickly agreed to settle the matter for a substantial sum.
