TBK’s vast trial experience and insurance background allows for every client’s case to be approached with extensive knowledge of legal issues, policy considerations, coverage and exposure. We thoroughly investigate the facts behind each claim and assess its legitimacy and damages. Due to our large practice area across the country, we are able to quickly identify the most effective legal strategy available based on each state’s unique laws.

Experts in Property Insurance, Litigation and Appraisal Process

Widely regarded as property insurance experts in Chicago, Illinois and across the United States, TBK brings claims to an appropriate resolution through careful analysis and negotiation, or through litigation. Our seasoned trial attorneys pride themselves in pursuing alternative dispute resolutions via settlement, arbitration and mediation—but if litigation is unavoidable, we aggressively prosecute and defend those claims with successful outcomes.

The industry-leading representation provided by TBK extends past singular claims to a thorough understanding of our clients’ long-term goals and needs. Our firm also specializes in the defense and handling of first-party claims, including claims instituting the appraisal clause. The proper handling of the appraisal process is a unique industry niche; and TBK can help clients avoid or mitigate future insurance claims, losses and damages.
