The Process

How It Works

You shouldn't have to chase Orkin, Terminix, or your insurance company for answers. When they delay, deny, or deflect, we know how to hold them accountable and push for the settlement you deserve. Get a legal team that knows how to fight back.

Step 1

Tell Us What Happened

A 15-minute free call. No paperwork, no pressure.

Step 2

We Investigate & Build Your Case

We review your pest control contract, inspection history and insurance policy to identify every party that owes you money.

Step 3

You Get A Settlement

We pursue the responsible parties until you have the funds to repair your property.

Time Sensitive

Florida's statute of limitations on termite damage claims can expire as soon as 4 years from discovery. Waiting can cost you the entire claim.
