This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thank you!

Devon is very thorough. She fought and won a case against my home insurance company when they initially denied my claim. I recommend her to anyone looking for help in a home insurance claim.

Thorough Job!

Really appreciated Devon's quick response! Devon also thoroughly researched some peripheral legal issues directly related to my immediate needs so that we could safely and correctly incorporate a new entity, as well as chart a proper course. Devon's thoughtful and comprehensive approach was critica...l and valuable!

President

Ms Thurtle was hired to provide insurance coverage counsel during a complex dispute with a competitor arising from intellectual property and related claims. She provided outstanding legal advice and perspective, worked exceptionally well with a variety of attorneys and law firms, and had great strat...egic insights the were essential in coming to a beneficial settlement.

This is the lawyer you need on your side if your dealing with a insurance issue

I met Devon Thurtle Anderson by chance. In our interactions before I hired her it was obvious that she is very very bright and highly organized. I reviewed a couple cases with her and she was a obvious fit. She was able to resolve two cases that I had thought were headed towards litigation. In th...e past previous lawyers I had hired did not have this level of success when resolving our unsettled cases. I would highly recommend Devon Thurtle Anderson for any insurance work. She is very concise and accurate in her conversations. It's clear that she is very motivated to help her clients resolve cases and can speak to the positive and negative implications for each step of the process. I will be hiring her again without a second thought.

Devon's Awesome!

Devon represented me in a condo loss assessment claim. She was very professional and was great about setting my expectations appropriately up front and following through with everything throughout the almost year long process. We ended up with a very fair settlement. Had it not been for her hard work..., I wouldn't have received a dime from the insurance company.
