Insurance claim

All though he wasn't able to provide service for me, he did give me very good advice.

Indredibly knowledgeable and always prepared

Mr. Kwasniewski is extremely kowledgeable in first party bad faith matters. He works extremely hard, working late or on weekends is part of his work ethic. He is always prepared on the issues at hand. Analyzes is detail what is needed and what the best course of action is. Would highly recommend... him.

Truely the best!!

My husband and I hired Gary and his wife to handle a bad faith insurance claim for our home. I can't explain how caring, professional, and responsive they were. They were there for us every step of the way and handled the case in the utmost care and thorough components. We don't know what we would ha...ve done without them. They are truely the best. I definitely would recommend them to anyone in similar situations without hesitation.
