We have a proven track record of recovering substantial sums for our clients through both negotiated settlements and jury verdicts.

Borbely & Associates combines deep knowledge of construction law, insurance coverage, and California’s complex procedural rules (including SB 800 and the Right to Repair Act) with practical insight into the construction and insurance industries.
