WE WORK FOR YOU

NOT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY

This means that we handle and prepare each claim and case as if it is going to trial. We accomplish that by consulting with different engineers, adjusters, contractors, and other experts in order to determine whether the damage to your property is covered by your insurance policy.

SERVICES

When we buy a new home or a commercial or rental property in Florida, we buy insurance for it with the expectation that if damage or loss occurs we would be covered. Unfortunately, some insurance companies will come up with the most creative reasons to deny coverage, delay payment, or underpay claims. If you are struggling against an insurer after filing a claim, don’t do it alone. Insurance companies have the experience and resources to engage you in a long and stressful dispute. Instead, work with an experienced team that will put you on equal footing.

Watson et Barnard, PLLC is not your average “property damage” law firm. We utilize top-quality resources to back your claim (such as engineers, loss consultants, and other loss experts)

We’re here for when your safety net goes missing

As new homebuyers who were going through a less than smooth experience with a seller, we nearly experienced a nightmare scenario until we were referred to Watson et Barnard to salvage the situation and enable us to agree to a compromise with the seller and reset our home search. We truly appreciate their willingness to go the extra mile in alleviating our concerns and enabling us to come to an amicable solution with the seller. I would offer my highest recommendation to enlist their services to anyone who is encountering real estate troubles during the home buying process.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I was referred to Chris Watson by a friend that used his services for an insurance claim and thank god I called and decided to do the same. From the beginning Chris was very professional and explained everything to me. My insurance claim was initially denied but with Chris's experience and expertise the insurance company came to their sense and settled the case. If you are thinking about filing an insurance claim for your property don't do it alone. Call Chris.If it wasn't for Chris I would've had to pay for my roof repairs out of my pocket.

I was extremely please after speaking with the attorney Christopher Watson. Not only he took the time to explain all my options, but he guided me in the right direction on how to try to resolve my issue myself first and if I had any problems he would be happy to take over from there. Very professional and very unusual for attorneys that always trying to pitch you!!! Thank You.

Mr. WATSON was very knowledgeable and such a nice man. He was professional with a soft demeanor and happy to help! He took the time to answer my questions without trying to squeeze me for a consultation fee. He's trust worthy and credible. Provided great advice! I just found my new attorney!

Wind Damage: Efficient and experienced professionals. It is amazing to know you are in the hands of professional attorneys. Watson and Barnard saved me so much pain when my Nana’s cabin was beaten up by the wind last month. It is nice to find a company you can trust. Thank you, guys, very much.

Rain Damage- The rainy season is lovely but can get messy quickly. Our family home got the brunt of it last season, and the insurance company I subscribed to wasn't budging. However, a family friend told us about this company, which has been the most efficient team one could wish for. I appreciate you guys.

Flood Damage: Mr. Watson, I love and respect you and your professionalism. My apartment had water damage because of a heavy downpour. My insurance company gave me the run-around even though I had the coverage. I had to live in a slum for six months. I consulted Mr. Watson, and in no time at all, he fixed me up. Truly impressive service, I promise you.

Hurricane Damage: The last hurricane season left a lasting impression on my house. I filed an insurance claim immediately, and the company said they "had their hands full" and will respond soon. It took almost a year and may have lasted longer if Mr. Watson hadn't come to the rescue. Highly experienced and efficient!

Underpaid Claim: Have you been underpaid on yet another insurance claim? Has every attorney been bailing on you just because they are too chicken? That's history now, and it is all thanks to Chris. You are the best trial attorney I know. Nothing but love.

Denied Claim: Being directed to Watson et Bernard PLLC was a miracle. I had been having difficulty obtaining storm damage benefits for over a year. When other attorneys gave up on me, Christopher stepped in and quickly secured all benefits denied.

Homeowner's Insurance Attorney: I could not believe my insurance company's insanity in telling me that I needed to repair the damage to my deck. It was an accident, and they didn't even care. Not until Mr. Watson stepped in. The ease with which everything was resolved is still shocking. He is a freaking good attorney. Highly recommended.

I would like to say that this is an excellent firm. My biggest appreciation with Watson Espinal & Barnard is communication. Communication goes a long way ! When you are providing service for someone, you’d like the customer to be comfortable trusting you. I’m a police officer and my job also involves constant communication with victims to ensure that they can have faith in what I represent with the service. Same way i gave my faith with this firm because of their assurance and I want everyone to feel great being serviced the way I was.

Brandy and Genesis at Barnard Law were absolutely AMAZING! I highly recommend them to everybody because they worked closely with us throughout our entire insurance claim and got us our entire claim amount. We were in a battle for two years and they never gave up hope and pushed hard for us from start to finish. I never had a phone call or email unanswered and every question I had was answered in great detail so I understood the entire process.Thank you Brandy and Barnard Law for everything, we can’t thank you enough for your hard work and persistence.

Max Barnard and Mr. Espinal handled my claim expeditiously and with great care. My house is now back to being pristine condition with the money Max and the entire Barnard Law Offices team got me for my damages. Max answered all my questions and concerns and made me feel like part of the Barnard family. Also, instead of leaving a message when I had a time sensitive concern and Max was unavailable, I would be transferred to an another attorney, like Eric Barnard, to address the questions. I highly recommend this office.
