“When I started working with Aaron and Kelly in 2008, I learned very quickly that people are at a severe disadvantage when they try to handle an insurance claim without an attorney. Most people do not realize the lengths that insurance companies will go to avoid or minimize a valid insurance claim. At Hemmings and Stevens, we fight for our clients and against the insurance companies. We routinely take some of the largest insurance companies in the country to court on behalf of our clients. We also provide excellent personal service by thoroughly explaining the claims process to our clients, being available for questions, and always returning phone calls or emails. We truly have a passion for helping individuals and small businesses with their insurance claims.”
