Insurance Claim

We hired Brandon to resolve a dispute with our insurance company. He was quick and efficient in resolving the matter. Thanks to Brandon we are now replacing the roofs on 48 buildings in our HOA community. Consult with Brandon for any of your legal needs.

Excellent lawyer!

We had a wonderful experience with Brandon. Our fire insurance claim was a nightmare. Brandon took all the stress off of us and negotiated a substantial settlement. He thoroughly explained the process in layman's terms and took care of every detail. He was always quick to return calls and emails.... His staff is also very kind and helpful. We highly recommend Brandon McWherter.

Thank you

Brandon has a wonderful knowledge of insurance law and is very easy to work with. We had a house fire where the insurance company didn't want to pay which ended up in a lawsuit. Brandon always kept us informed of what was going on and stayed on top of the ins comp. He did things we never thought an a...tty would do like came to the house and took time to make sure we had everything documented , as well as helping us find good honest people to help us get estimates on our home and contents, and didn't mind getting his hands dirty literally. He would take time to make sure we understood what was happening, the choices we had and how to proceed. HeGenuinely would listen to us as well about how we felt or answer any questions. This was a very heartbreaking and confusing situation we went through and without Brandon we could have never made it through and the insurance company would have been able to take advantage of us! He is down to earth and all around a good person. We would recommend Brandon to anyone in the same situation and can't say enough about how much he did for us!

My personal review of James Brandon McWherter

In some of the most troubling times of my life and my family's well being Brandon and his office were with me every step of the way. He was very honest, straightforward and far exceeded my expectations in every way. He quickly identified the critical issues I was facing and could anticipate the next ...move, where to allocate time and energy and when to back off. I would recommend him to anyone. I would expect to hire him again if ever needed. I can't say enough positives about him and his staff.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I co-counseled with Brandon on a first-party property insurance case in Tennessee. We represented a condominium association that had sustained a wind and hail loss. Brandon's extensive knowledge of this practice area was on display throughout the matter. More importantly, he was diligent and reliable, and was always available to speak with the client for as long as they wished. At mediation, he was well prepared and made sure our client understood every strength and weakness of the case so as to allow them to make the proper settlement decision. I look forward to working with him again in the future."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
