ONE AND DONE

I Hired the firm to take over my case after going through a local attorney for 2yrs. without results. Boonswang Law was able to get it done within a few months. I was very pleased at how quick and smooth the process was. I got everything I wanted out of the deal check in hand on the date I was promis...ed. Now my family and I can move on past the grieving process. My children also hired the firm and were able to cash in on their policy. Chad went over and beyond in working on my case I highly recommend anyone who is having trouble getting their insurance company to pay out hire BOONSWANG LAW

An Attorney With Ethics

I submitted a life insurance claim after the passing of my husband. One of the largest insurance companies in the US. They promptly denied paying the claim. Being told I had one chance at an appeal I knew I needed help - from an attorney - and one who had experience in life insurance denial claims.... I found no one local in my area, or even in my state. So I looked online, but was skeptical. I read reviews, browsed websites, and finally came across the Boonswang Law Firm. I was at first hesitant but after calling and talking with them I felt more confident in my choice. With their experience with life insurance claim denials they worked diligently and efficiently to plead my case. Matters like this don't resolve overnight, but they did keep me up to date on what was happening, which was very reassuring. When one is in a position where the life insurance could make the difference between being financially stable or in a dire situation you have to have confidence in the attorney's handling the case. In my situation the insurance company agreed to pay the claim and then reversed their decision a few weeks later. However, Attorney Boonswang used his knowledge and expertise to not only have the decision reversed in MY favor - the insurance company was forced to pay interest. I put my complete trust in Attorney Boonswang and I'm so grateful that I did. Please do not hesitate in considering him and his staff to handle any of your legal matters. He is an Attorney with ethics and I would definitely use his services again if I should ever have need.

Very Pleased Client!

I am very happy with the Boonswang Law Firm. Chad and his team got justice for my mother. My mother passed away with the notion that she was leaving her children a little something and all that was diminished when the insurance company denied the claim stating my mother had lied on her application. T...hey sent my two siblings and I a check for the premiums which amounted to a little over a hundred dollars for each one of us. I just felt this was wrong and decided to seek legal counsel. I contacted several attorneys and no one returned my calls, so I almost decided to give up. I couldn't sleep one night and decided to look online again for an attorney who would possibly take the case or at least call me back. The website for the Boonswang law firm seems like it popped up out of no where. I read that if they don't win the case; the client does not owe them anything so I sent over the consultation request form and received a call the next day (I think). It was a quick response to me. I spoke with John and he sent over all the information for me to fill out. I didn't fill the information right away because I started having doubts about beating the "BIG" insurance company. John called about a week after sending the paperwork to follow up and reiterated that if they don't win, I'm not losing anything. I sent my paperwork in and about 6 months into the case, Chad called and stated that he had reached a settlement (which was about month before the anniversary of my mother's passing). I am so GRATEFUL to Chad and his team. I would and will recommend the Boonswang law firm to anyone who is dealing with an insurance company who is denying claims thinking they can get away with it because people just don't know. Or they don't have people like the Boonswang law firm fighting for them. Thank you!

Amazing!!! Actually made the insurance company pay!

I spent over a year on the phone with my late wife's insurance company trying to get them to honor the policy due to an accidental death. I got nothing but excuses and made up delays. I eventually began looking for a lawyer because the insurance company never refused to pay the policy they just keep ...asking for additional paperwork. I learned that this was a common tactic and they hope you give up. Well I had given up until I found Mr. Boonswang online. Over the next 6 months he and his associates managed to force the insurance company to pay out on the policy. I spoke with him via email and did all the forms online. I spent maybe an hour over six months dealing with this and he did the rest. I can't tell you how wonderful everyone at the law firm was and how finally getting the check gave me some closure. Do yourself a favor, if you have a insurance company that is giving you the run around talk to Mr. Boonswang I don't know how but he works miracles. Also Kathleen Vermilion was great and kept me up to date on everything.
