Robert E Burkett Jr.

Bob Burkett is one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with. He helped my neighbor after her insurance company refused to pay for hurricane damage to her home. After unsuccessfully negotiating with my insurance company about my damaged roof, I hired Bob. My agreement with him was for a reas...onable retainer cost and no contingency like other attorneys charge for this type of case. Don’t sign an agreement with your insurance company, roofing company, or any other attorney who may take a contingency fee. If you do that may have much less control over the situation and you could end up with less money than you need for your home repairs. I met with several attorneys before hiring Bob and the other attorneys gave me the impression that my case would just be included with their stack of cases and could end up taking a very long time to get resolved. Each time I met at Bob's office he and his staff made me feel very welcome. I called and emailed with a lot of questions and Bob always responded promptly and explained things to me very clearly. From the beginning and until the conclusion of the case he made me feel very comfortable. He forwarded all the filings he submitted and received and kept me updated the entire time. I spoke with some of my neighbors who used roofing companies and other attorneys and their cases took many months and one neighbor’s case took over a year. From the time my case was filed, I received the check two and a half months later. The check will cover the complete replacement of my tile roof and gutters. Hurricane Irma claims from September 2017 can still be resolved as long as you filed or reopened a claim by September 2020. Even if you don’t think you have a slam-dunk case. My case was far from clear cut. My understanding is that you have five years from the date of the storm to file a lawsuit against your insurance company. Don’t waste an opportunity to get your old and damaged roof replaced. Do yourself a favor and call Bob before you sign any agreements with a roofing company or any other attorney. If you feel hopeless or discouraged because your claim was originally denied, call Bob because you have nothing to lose.

Mr. Burkett represented me in a case where I was simply evicting a tenant from a rental house. This tenant happened to have done some work for me on some projects too. So, he gets mad at me and files a counter suit against me for many ridiculous things. He has good representation and lies very good. ...Well, Mr. Burkett was fantastic in pulling the truth out where it needed to be, on the table. Bottom line, I win my house back, his fee paid by other and money. I hope I never need him again but certainly will use him if something else comes up, because I certainly would prefer winning again. Mr. Burkett has also represented me in the filing of my corporations and is always willing to answer any questions I have had pertaining to these businesses. He has recommended professionals to me that I continue to use in other fields that help me with my businesses. He is also a very nice person and treats people right, as they should be. Thank you, Mr. Burkett.
