  • Background
    In 2005, Hurricane Rita struck Southeast Texas, severely damaging Mr. Brasher’s home. As a result of the difficulty he had in receiving compensation for his losses through his insurance company, he started helping other homeowners, churches, and businesses with their claims. He witnessed firsthand the struggle that homeowners have with insurance companies and decided that he wanted to stand up against the injustices he saw occurring. When Hurricane Rita damaged his home, Mr. Brasher was forced to personally deal with multiple adjusters, multiple different “representatives,” repeatedly having to start over with his insurance company, and even being told outright that he lacked coverage that he knew he had. As his frustration continued to grow, he realized that he was not the only one being treated like this by insurance companies. It was at this time that Mr. Brasher determined he needed to help others like him. He litigated over one hundred claims for policyholders following Hurricane Rita. Mr. Brasher continued his representation of policyholders for a few clients following Hurricane Humberto and, then, following Hurricane Ike, he represented several hundred more. From 2005 to the present time, he has handled close to 1,000 litigated claims on behalf of policy holders. Notwithstanding the number of cases handled, he prides himself on establishing personal relationships with his clients.  His list of clients is long and now includes municipalities, restaurants, apartment complexes, salons, gyms, and many other commercial clients.
