Just spoke to Mr. House about a business matter. He was not in a hurry and gave me a very honest answer which is what I wanted. Highly recommended !

Richard Clark

Litigation lawyer | Sep 01

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I recently worked with Mr. House as co-counsel on a property damage claim (via fire) that involved an insurance company denying the client's claim. Mr. House took over the property damage claim from another local firm that decided not to represent their client after determining the claim was not worth their time or energy. Within just a few months of accepting the case from the other firm, Mr. House was able to obtain a settlement of the property damage claim that equaled the relevant insurance policy limit of $300K. As you can imagine, the client was ecstatic to obtain the settlement after the firm that represented him before Mr. House told him the case was not worth their time or energy. Mr. House is a fantastic litigation attorney that will truly fight for his clients regardless of the odds."
