Storm Claims

If your homeowners insurance company has unfairly denied, delayed, or underpaid your claims, call Ciolino & Onstott today. We will assist you with gathering the evidence necessary, working with experts, negotiating with the insurance company, and bring your case to court if they refuse to act fairly. We know how frustrating it is to live with anxiety about whether the blue tarp on your roof will hold up against the next heavy rain, while your insurance company continues to refuse to pay for the repair. We know how dangerous it is to have mold growing from moisture intrusion, while your remediation claim is “pending” for months. We don’t want you and your family to suffer due to your insurance company’s incompetence or bad faith. We will push your claim forward, and demand the maximum recovery you are entitled to.
