When your home, office, or commercial property suffers damage, whether from a storm, fire, burst pipe, or vandalism, the disruption is immediate. But what many people don’t expect is the added frustration that comes when insurance companies start playing games. Delayed responses, lowball offers, or outright denials are far too common. We know how discouraging this process can be. That’s why we step in to make sure you don’t go through it alone. As your trusted Austin property damage claim lawyer, we focus on holding insurers accountable and making sure you get the full compensation your policy promises.
We’re not just here to review documents, we’re here to take action. From the very first conversation, we focus on gathering the facts, building a clear strategy, and protecting your rights. We begin by thoroughly reviewing your insurance policy. Every clause, exclusion, and condition matters. We identify where coverage applies, where insurers might try to avoid responsibility, and how best to approach your specific claim.
Once we’ve reviewed the policy, we begin documenting the damage in detail. This means coordinating inspections, gathering photographs and video evidence, and hiring trusted professionals, like licensed adjusters, appraisers, or engineers, who can provide written reports supporting your claim. We know insurers often rely on their own “independent” adjusters. We bring in professionals who work for you, not the insurance company, to ensure the damage is evaluated fairly.
From there, we prepare and submit your claim, including all necessary supporting documentation. If a claim has already been filed and denied or underpaid, we review what’s been done so far and immediately begin the appeals process. We handle all communications with the insurer; no more sitting on hold, no more vague letters, no more confusing back-and-forth. We take that burden off your plate entirely.
If the insurer refuses to act in good faith, we’re prepared to file a lawsuit and litigate aggressively. We don’t back down. We’ve gone up against national insurance carriers and won, and we know how to build persuasive cases that demand attention. With us, you get a firm that combines legal skill with relentless commitment to results. When we say we’re your Austin property damage claim lawyer, we mean we’re with you from start to finish, until the case is resolved and the funds are in your hands.
When you bring your property damage case to MPP Legal, you’re not just hiring a law firm; you’re hiring a team that understands what’s at stake. We know you’re stressed. Your life is disrupted. Repairs are piling up. Bills may be due. You need a resolution that is fast, fair, and final. That’s exactly what we work toward every day.
Our process begins with a free consultation. We take the time to listen. We want to understand how the damage occurred, how your insurance company has responded, and what you’ve been through so far. Once we understand the details, we immediately begin gathering the materials we need to move forward: photos, repair estimates, policy documents, communication records, and more. We handle this quickly and efficiently, so we don’t lose valuable time.
From there, we handle every step of the claims process for you. We communicate directly with the insurer, respond to their letters, negotiate on your behalf, and prepare for litigation if needed. If your claim was denied, we review the reason, identify weaknesses in their justification, and move forward with a strong appeal. If your claim was underpaid, we will assemble the evidence needed to show the true scope of the damage and demand the difference.
We keep you informed at every stage. You’ll never be left in the dark. Whether it’s a new development in negotiations or a court deadline, you’ll know exactly where your case stands. As your Austin property damage claim lawyer, we take that responsibility seriously. You’ve already suffered enough from the damage itself. Let us take on the legal fight while you focus on getting life back to normal.

EXCELLENT Based on 14 reviews Ryan2025-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are great. Highly recommend. Great communication and attention to detail. Mr. Marshall was extremely helpful and did a fantastic job for us. Would recommend him to anyone. Zenobia Chinoy2025-03-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David Pipal is the a true professional. He worked tirelessly on our behalf to help us through a difficult process with an insurance company. We would not hesitate to recommend this firm. Mike Ritzmann2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It took a very good reason to choose a firm 367 miles away from me and Jon and MPP provided it. After Jon did the intake over the phone and gave me as much time as I needed to explain a complicated affair, my wife and I discussed it and retained MPP the next day. I knew MPP would put my mind at ease and resolve the matter in my favor, and they certainly did - expeditiously and with authority, dispatching the claimants with prejudice. Brett Leal handled the case and, as expected, had an intricate understanding of relevant law, but also picked up on things I never considered which resulted in an extremely strong draft letter. This got the ball rolling in my direction right away and we wrapped it up shortly thereafter. It was easy to maintain contact with Brett and his support staff when I needed a follow up or had a quick question. I certainly hope I don't find myself needing another lawyer, but if I do, I will call Brett and MPP straightaway. Joyce2024-10-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful people! Very prompt at returning calls, and emails. Knowledgeable and professional. I felt comfortable with Brett and that he would address all issues and concerns. Tyler Beard2024-10-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Helped me deal with a difficult situation and provided a buffer from an unhinged tenant giving me mental space and freedom in focus on other things. Charlotte Morse2023-12-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our company had a customer with a fairly large outstanding balance (for a small business) that we tried in every way to collect. Marshall Presley and Pipal PLLC worked their magic and we not only received the full amount owed with partial interest but all attorney fees as well. We tried for two years to collect on this outstanding balance with no success. We very much appreciate the efforts of Jonathan Marshall and his staff. We will definitely utilize their services again if needed. Fine Cut Construction2023-10-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This legal team effectively handles matters with a wealth of experience. Working with Mr. Marshall was a pleasure. His meticulous attention to detail and professionalism truly stood out, making my experience with Marshall Presley & Pipal exceptional.
