I had a wonderful experience with this firm. My insurance company was undercutting my damages claim from Hurricane Ian. Even though I was hesitant to get a 3rd party involved, I now realize that nothing would have happened without the help of Attorney Adam Feldman of the firm. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient and I would not hesitate to use this firm again. I highly recommend them.

Fighting insurance companies on your own is a losing battle. Thankfully, we have settled. I’ve got back all the money I spent from the hurricane damage and I’m thrilled with the service.

I would like to take a moment and say that I have the utmost praise for Cernitz Law. They handled a lawsuit against my home insurer who greatly underpaid my claim for Ian damage. Everyone there with whom I interacted was friendly, knowledgeable, polite and a pleasure to deal with. Along with those attributes also came professional and effective. We won! If you should need an attorney Cernitz Law can do the job.

The Cernitz Law Firm represented 2 of my properties included water damage to one of the properties during the IAN Hurricane. Insurance ran me around and did not wanted to pay for the damages. I hired Cernitz Law Firm to work with insurance company and all 3 cases settled in a good faith. If anyone has damaged properties, I would highly recommend Cernitz Law Firm to handle the loss. You will not be disappointed with their representation. Cernitz Law Firm thank you for your incredible work.
