Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'No Recovery, No Fee' mean?

It means if I don’t win a settlement for you, you owe me nothing. I only get paid when you do.

Yes. If you’ve been underpaid or denied in the past, I can reassess your case and potentially uncover damages missed in the initial evaluation.

It varies depending on the complexity of the damage and the responsiveness of the insurance company. However, my experience and negotiation skills help expedite the process.
