Who we are:

The mission of the Law Offices of Edward H. Cross is simple: we force property insurance companies to comply with the terms of their policies and pay a fair amount for property damage claims. Through powerful networking, community advocacy, innovation and excellent client service, we doubled our revenue in 2021.Our practice is dedicated to the representation of property damage restoration companies. Our clients restore insured properties damaged in natural disasters, fires, floods, and hurricanes. We take on the world’s largest insurance companies, and we dominate this space nationally, keeping the insurance industry in check and defining the contours of property insurance claims handling practices. We have pioneered innovative strategies to level the playing field for honest, hard-working contractors.

In 2021, we published two leading books in this field.

When insurers wrongfully withhold hundreds of millions of dollars that should be paid to return properties to their pre-loss condition, it interferes with the restoration of property, which hurts property values, and makes it harder for victims to get back on their feet. This is your opportunity to do work that impacts the national economy.
