Fire Claim Settled for 200% Above Initial Insurance Company Offer

Fire Claim Settled for 200% Above Initial Insurance Company Offer

This was a great day for this highly decorated Vietnam War Veteran and his wonderful wife. A recipient of a Purple Heart and 2 Bronze Stars with Valor, this couple tragically lost their home to fire 9-months ago. After receiving insufficient offers to settle their claim and months of delay, we were finally able to negotiate a 200% increase over and above the insurance company's initial offer. And to think that the insurance company adjuster discouraged them from hiring a public adjuster!

This man is a true hero! During the Vietnam War, his armored personnel carrier was blown up killing all 6 of his fellow comrades. As the only survivor, this Sergeant manned his M60 machine gun for hours until reinforcements arrived and brought him out. His story was amazing and I am thankful and honored to have helped him and his wife. Even better is that they are from Charleston, West Virginia!!

A very big thank you to insurance attorney Donna DeVaney Stockham who assisted our firm on this case. With her help, this couple will be able to rebuild their house, fix their pool and buy new furniture and clothes. Needless to say their future is bright.
