Wendy Utley April 18, 2023
My experience with Attorney Rabih Hamawi Mr. Hamawi, I would like to thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put forth on my case, I had contacted a couple other attorneys before you and they didn't want to touch my case, but when I called your office and the first person I spoke with was Linda Kauppinen, she was so sweet and she listened to all I had to say, she then told me not to worry, she would get in touch with you and go over everything. I am so happy with the outcome of my case and I thank you for all the time and effort you put into this! I will refer your lawfirm to anyone who needs your services, you have always been kind and sincere, you know how to handle these insurance companies. Thank you again, Sincerely, Wendy Utley

Legal Answers
1 Questions Answered
Q. Can an insurance adjuster deny paying a claim after their remediation company demo'd 3 rooms of our house?
A: There is not enough information in the fact pattern to fully answer this question. Generally, an insurer may not engage in major demo work without obtaining written permission from the insured unless there is a specific reason (like an emergency) for it. Further, an insurer must have proof to deny a claim on the basis of long term seepage or leakage which has occured over a period of "weeks, months, or years." So we need more information to evaluate the basis of the denial. Please feel free to call the office with any further questions. RH
