I was a longtime shareholder at Levy | von Beck | Comstock | Chastain. The firm handles a wide variety of cases, with an emphasis on construction defects, property insurance claims, insurance bad faith, real estate litigation, and debt collection including liens. If you have a legal issue in one of these practice areas, I urge you to follow up with my former firm for assistance. They are a great bunch of lawyers with a strong support team.

Helped us get more money than we asked for!
Dave represented us on a claim related to construction defects (roof not laid properly on new construction house, which resulted in significant water damage inside walls). Dave negotiated a settlement with the insurance provider that was greater than we even asked for! This obviously was a fantasti...
