What began in 2003 as a $40,000 repair to a yacht will cost Jones Boat Yard in Miami and the boat owner’s insurance company almost 12 times that amount. Twelve years after the loss, following a two-week jury trial, James E. Mitchell and D. David Keller of Keller Landsberg PA secured the verdict their client had been waiting for patiently.

After nearly three years of battling an insurance claim, I’m incredibly grateful to the team at Chavin, Mitchell & Shmuely for getting it resolved fairly and professionally. They did a fantastic job presenting the case, including a clear and compelling PowerPoint that outlined the damage and repairs in a way that made everything easy to understand. Their expertise, persistence, and communication throughout the process were exceptional. Highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a tough or delayed insurance claim.
Thank you

My husband and I were having a terrible time with our homeowners insurance after making a claim for damage sustained to our roof during a storm. We were nervous about the thought of litigating against them and the potential outcomes that could arise. Our insurance company dragged their feet and were able to benefit from all of the delays that came from the COVID pandemic. Mrs. Chavin and everyone at the CMS law firm were amazing. They eased all of our concerns and did a great job explaining the process to us novices. The team anticipated the actions that the insurance company would take in an effort to avoid payment and strategized a plan that led to a successful resolution. We are not only grateful for the settlement that was reached but for the way we were treated by everyone at CMS. And a special thank you to Mrs. Chavin - she is an exceptionally strong, smart, empathetic woman who always made herself available to us. We were lucky to have her represent us. We highly recommend them!

My 82-year-old mother recently had a small flood in the home due to a toilet failure. The estimate of damage was over $ 24,000.00. The Insurance Co offered $4500.00 and refused to pay a penny more. I hired a Public Adjuster who estimated the true cost to repair the water damage. The Issuance Company dragged their feet and ignored our request for a fair settlement. Our requests for a fair settlement went unanswered until the Law Firm of Chavin, Mitchell and Shmuel was hired. Within 72 Hours, a settlement was on the table, but was not adequate. The Law Firm immediately litigated on our behalf and settled the claim within hours. I could not have hoped for a better outcome. Thanks to the Law Firm of Chavin, Mitchell, and Shmuely for helping out the little guy and forcing the Insurance Company to do the right thing.

I would like to take a moment and note that this was one of the most surprisingly pleasant interactions with a law firm I have ever had. The experience with these professionals was first and foremost incredibly professional, comfortable and respectable. They work incredibly hard and truly care about what outcome is best for you. The advice was honest and sincere and I know no other attorney would have put in so much passion and effort to make sure that I got what I deserved. I walked away feeling accomplished and remedied and would recommend their services above all others. Choosing a personal injury attorney is one of the hardest decisions people have to make and I'm so happy to say it was one of my easiest. Thank you to each and every individual in the firm who spent time on me personally. I truly appreciate it :)
