This Is Diane's Direct Line. Not a Call Center.

When you call, I answer. No intake staff. No automated system. No one who has to "check with the attorney." You'll reach me directly, and we'll talk through your situation together — at no cost and with no obligation.

Three Ways to Reach Me — Use Whichever Works Best for You

Whether you're standing in a damaged home, staying in temporary housing, or just prefer to write before you call — there's a way to reach me that fits where you are right now.

Call or Text Diane Directly

This is my personal line. I answer it myself, and I return calls the same day. If I'm in a meeting when you call, leave a message and I'll call you back — not a staff member, not a paralegal. Me.

Before You Reach Out, Here's What You Should Know

The first contact costs you nothing. The consultation is free. The policy review is free. And I don't charge a fee unless I recover money for you. There's no meter running from the moment you call — only information, and then a decision that's entirely yours.

Free consultation: ask me anything about your claim, your policy, or your options

Free policy review: I'll read your policy and tell you exactly what you're entitled to

No recovery, no fee: you pay nothing unless I win your case

No pressure, no commitment: one conversation gives you information — you decide what comes next

If you've had a claim denied, delayed, or underpaid after a hurricane, windstorm, tornado, or water damage event, you have every right to know where you stand before you decide anything.

What Happens When You Contact Me

Our collaborative, transparent and data-led process ensures your investment roadmap is fine-tuned to your unique needs and long-term objectives.

Step 1:

You Reach Me Directly

You call, text, or send a message. I respond personally — same day for calls, within one business day for messages.

Step 2:

We Talk Through Your Situation

I'll ask about your property, your claim, the damage, and what your insurance company has told you. You ask me anything. There's no clock running and no pressure.

Step 3:

I Review Your Policy at No Charge

If it makes sense to go further, I'll review your insurance policy and give you a clear picture of what you're owed and what your options are. This review is free.

Step 4:

You Decide What's Right for You

After our conversation and the review, you decide. If you want me to represent you, we move forward. If you need more time, that's fine too. One call doesn't commit you to anything.

Answers to Common Questions About Getting Started

  • Do I have to pay anything to call or set up a consultation?

    Nothing at all. The call is free, the consultation is free, and the policy review is free. You don't pay me anything unless I recover money for you.


  • How do I contact a hurricane insurance attorney in Florida without going through a call center?

    You call my direct line. I answer it personally — there's no intake team, no screening process, and no bot routing your call. If I miss you, I call back the same day.


  • What information should I have ready when I call?

    Don't worry about having everything organized. Tell me what happened, what your insurance company has said, and roughly where things stand. I'll ask the questions that matter and we'll figure out the rest together.


  • I'm not sure I even have a case. Is it still worth calling?

    Yes. That's exactly what the free consultation is for. Many homeowners don't know their claim was mishandled until someone actually reads their policy. I'll tell you honestly what I see — and if I can't help you, I'll tell you that too.


  • Will I be pressured to sign anything or commit to hiring you?

    No. One conversation gives you information and a clear picture of your options. What you do with that is entirely your decision.


  • Do you handle claims outside of Panama City?

    Yes. I represent property owners throughout Florida and travel anywhere in the state for a claim. If you're in Fort Myers, Tampa, Tallahassee, Pensacola, Naples, or anywhere else in Florida, I can help.


Ready to Find Out Where Your Claim Stands?

One call is all it takes to get a straight answer about your situation. I've been practicing property damage law in Florida for more than 40 years, and I've handled claims from Hurricanes Michael, Ian, Milton, and Helene. Whatever you're dealing with, I've seen it — and I can help you understand your options.
