See All ResultsLouis GalterioHurricane SettlementI 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.
