Desir Law Firm

In many cases, the first time I meet with a client it is after their home, work or property has been significantly damaged or destroyed. Often, they feel vulnerable, worried whether they will be able to repair or replace what was lost. Filing insurance claims, following up when calls go unheard, or when insurance claims are delayed or denied can be overwhelming, stressful and time-consuming.

I love being able to take a complex insurance policy (which is a legal contract) and make it easy for a person to understand as well as see where their insurance company is violating its agreement. Even more satisfying is knowing the firm I founded has helped hundreds of people, who have been taken advantage by their insurance company for property damage and insurance coverage claims, obtain justice.

There is great satisfaction in representing policyholders who feel powerless against powerful insurance companies, and those victories are the most rewarding.

What Makes Our Firm Different…

It is my name on the door, and as the founder and managing attorney in the firm, I have made it my mission to provide the best legal services to our clients. That starts with our fundamental belief that every client is unique, and every damage claim deserves personalized attention. One way we achieve this is by working remotely. This allows us to meet with clients where they are and see the damage where it happened -quickly, when speed of resolution matters. Being flexible reduces the burden of clients having to come to our office. It also helps us understand the specific goals and expectations of our clients as well as the legal challenges they are facing. We believe in working side by side with our clients to ensure we develop individualized strategies capable of solving the most difficult cases.
