The insured's custom home, built in 2003 and located in Alva, FL, suffered severe fire, smoke, and water damage as a result of a lightning strike on June 9, 2008. Realizing the enormous task of evaluating the loss and dealing with the insurance company, the homeowners retained Tutwiler & Associates to assist them with the preparation, presentation, and negotiation of their claim. Within 5 months the entire claim was successfully settled for over $1.3 million allowing the insureds to quickly commence reconstruction.
