    After working with Ian, on nonpayment of construction contracts, this last year on 3 lawsuits and seeing first hand, in a court room, how good he was we gave him another case.

    Represented our condominium association against an insurer that declared bankruptcy after 2 hurricanes hit in 2004. Devoted his time and expertise in getting a settlement that we had not even hoped for. Mr. Kravitz went above and beyond to keep the contractors repairing our condominium honest, and kept us in the loop as to where he was in the process and our association is forever grateful for his hard work on our behalf.

    Deserving.
