Jewel and Laneace Lee
"My family experienced a house fire that destroyed everything we owned except our automobiles. With God's grace and mercy, my 3-month-old and 2-year-old daughters along with my husband and I were able to escape without harm. Seeing my home filled with black smoke and fire was devastating. We had homeowners insurance that was 'on our side' but we knew we needed trained professionals to help us. Rob Izzo of SLC took our worries and stress on his shoulders and presented professional documents to the insurance company on our behalf. It was our job to sit back and allow such representation, and I must say a job WELL DONE!"

Virgina Lawyers Weekly - December 18, 2009 Homeowner gets 'appraisal' for power surge damage - Meaning of the phrase 'amount of loss' not decided before
When the homewner wanted to submit the disagreement to appraisal, the carrier balked, saying the parties' dispute dealt with coverage , not the "amount of loss." According to Fairfax Circuit Judge McWeeny, the phrase "amount of loss" has not been defined in the policy, in the Virginia Code, or by a Virginia court. Construing the policy's language on "amount of loss," the Fairfax court said the amount of loss is not a "coverage" issue, but a question of what must be replaced to adequately repair the damage.
Fairfax lawyer C. Thomas Brown said his survey of case law around the country on appraisal indicated policyholders are as likely to seek appraisal as are insurance carriers. Lawyer Stephen A. Horvath, who represented Erie, agreed that insurance carriers are as likely as policyholders to want to go through the appraisal process because "it's a system designed to bring about a quick determination of disputes."
