Some happy Customers
★★★★★ 5/5
“Kirk Leister was hired by us as a Consultant on a fire claim we had in June of 2018. Kirk was very knowledgeable of the insurance & construction industry and was very responsive with handling our claim. Kirk did many lengthy counter proposals with our Insurance Company. Kirk was able to consulate us on this very technical complex issue which resulted in us receiving $140k more than the original offer from the insurance company. Kirk worked hard and went to bat for us. I was very pleased with Kirk and I highly recommend him for any Insurance Claims you may have.”
