What our happy clients say.
“With the help of Larry, we fought the $12k low-ball estimate of the insurance for a vehicle tear-down and got the $45k our shop was actually owed.”
“Our PRI saved a $1.2M plaintiff verdict. The depositions were the cleanest we've ever taken.”
“I was told my truck was a total loss. After P&L re-scoped the estimate I got my truck back. That's the whole story.”
