Client Testimonials
“Averill & Reaney took on my case with no problem. They made it easy, working as a team with shared experience and knowledge. I found trustworthiness, attentiveness, and perseverance, along with good character and mutual respect.”
“Averill & Reaney is a law firm you can count on. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer anyone to them. It’s such a relief knowing I got what I deserve, and I’m grateful for their honesty and commitment to making things happen.”
“Averill & Reaney treated every client like their only client. When I spoke with Matt, it felt natural, like he truly cared. I was lucky to find them, and I’d definitely recommend them to anyone dealing with property damage.”
“A great thing about having Averill & Reaney represent me was their availability. I could call anytime, and they always got back to me quickly. Brian alleviated my fears and ensured I got the compensation I deserved.”
“After nearly a year of trying to get an insurance payout for my roof after hurricane damage (insurance offered $0), endless phone calls, and many sleepless nights, I gave this firm a call. That was the last call I had to make. A few months later, a settlement to cover a new roof arrived, with updates every step of the way. AMAZING work from the entire team.”
“We had retained another firm that was supposed to help with our property insurance suit and just got tossed from one attorney to another UNTIL Matthew J. Averill came into the picture. It was the first time we felt someone actually cared. He got us a quick arbitration date and got us more than we thought we would. Fight for you — they do.”
“I have been dealing with attorneys for over 2 years now trying to get a roof! When they got my case… it was settled in 2 weeks and I now have a roof on my house! They go the extra mile for their clients. I know they did for me!”
“After getting a very poor settlement offer from my insurance company for storm damage to my house, Averill & Reaney took up my case and successfully negotiated a fair settlement. You don’t need to feel helpless against the big insurance companies — these guys can really help.”
“Brian and his team were very thorough when they took on our insurance claim. The line of communication was always open and very transparent when it came to the legal details and questions. They handled our case with the utmost experience and professionalism. This firm will always prioritize your best interest.”
“They handled my case with professionalism, transparency, and care from start to finish. I always felt informed and supported. No surprises — just steady, dependable guidance. Highly recommend if you’re looking for lawyers who know what they’re doing and genuinely care.”
You’re not imagining it
A U.S. Senate hearing examined how insurers handle — and too often delay, underpay, or deny — property claims. If it feels like the system is stacked against you, there’s a reason. We help level the playing field.
