The Firm
About Tinelli Fernandez
Tinelli Fernandez is a boutique law firm that represents policyholders in Florida who are involved in insurance disputes with their property insurance companies. Collectively, our lawyers have spent nearly four decades representing the insurance companies. We have taken that experience and apply an aggressive approach to litigating our cases with effective results. We now utilize that experience to help homeowners, condominium associations, business owners, emergency service vendors, and contractors in their recovery of insurance benefits. Let us help you through the process if your insurance claim was denied, undervalued, or has been delayed.
How It Works
We understand the difficulties in having to make repairs without the benefit of insurance money, and, because of that, in most cases, we do not advance payment or ask to be paid a percentage of your recovery. In short, the insurance company pays our fees and costs because Florida law protects you for a wrongfully denied or underpaid claim once we successfully obtain a settlement or judgment in our clients’ favor. In other words, because the insurance carrier forced our clients to hire us, the law penalizes the insurance company by forcing it to pay our attorney’s fees and costs. This ensures that our clients are able to recover the maximum amount of money in order to make the necessary repairs to their property and to fully compensate them for their loss.
