- ★★★★★Water damage coverage
Price · business law ·
Dave helped me tremendously when fighting state farm for a water damage claim. Unfortunately, during a winter freeze, a pipe broke in my home. After years of being a good State Farm customer. Have they decided to not honor of the claim, and said we were responsible for the frozen pipe. A day after m y initial claim was denied, I contacted David von Beck. From the moment he took on my case, there was nothing but forward progress. Dave is a great communicator knows the law very well and there's no trouble finding a large insurance company on your behalf and coming out on top. My results were favorable, dave got me all the Bunny. I needed to rebuild after the damage. Something that State Farm should have done when I contacted them with the claim. Dave saw through all, they're scare install. Tactics and allowed us to have a working home again. I would absolutely use Dave again if I ever need to file a claim.
- ★★★★★Helpful in Facilitating Cooperation
Michael · real estate ·
Dave Von Beck helped turn an uncooperative contractor into a very cooperative contractor. Without him the contractor would not have honored their warranty. We appreciate his help, that of his firm, and of Nolan Radke in ensuring prompt and quality work.
- ★★★★★Highly Recommend Dave and his team

Dave and his team took over from our original attorney when our case stalled and helped our HOA to secure a settlement. It's a relief being able to repair our roofs and get back to the rest of our lives.
- ★★★★★An exceptionally good lawyer
Ameya · business law ·
I recently had the pleasure of working with Dave Von Beck to settle an insurance claim, and we are very satisfied with the outcome that Dave was able to secure for us. From the very beginning, Dave was clear about the process, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive to our queries. Thi s was our first time navigating an insurance claim, and it was overwhelming to say the least, but Dave and his team made us feel supported and comfortable throughout the entire process. Thanks to Dave experience and skills, we were able to reach a settlement at mediation and recover 95% of the repair costs that we incurred. Dave clearly understood the intricacies of insurance law and was a strong advocate on my behalf. We truly felt supported every step of the way. We highly recommend Dave Von Beck and his team to anyone dealing with an insurance issue. You’ll be in capable, trustworthy hands!

Took on my case after many complications and multiple parties. Was very helpful at keeping me on track to explain the position of my case. Dave's team was knowledgeable and provided options on how to best get a desired outcome. Honesty goes a long way and I always felt it was being taken care of espe cially with the terminology and case law that was above my head.
- ★★★★★A 5-Star Attorney/A 5-Star Person
Perry · real estate ·
With integrity, skill, hard work, tact, thoroughness, thoughtfulness, humor, and excellent communication skills, Dan built and litigated a rock-solid, construction liability case for our condo association; a complicated case that prevailed after 3 mediations and a jury trial. Thanks to Dan, the settl ements our Board reached with 2 separate insurance companies greatly exceeded our original expectations, and restored our association's reserves. Cheers!
- ★★★★★Tough claim, but came out with favorable result
Dan · business law ·
We had an issue of insurance refusing to cover a claim regarding a collapse. After consulting a few attorneys we ended up using Dan and we were rewarded for it. Dan put the time in consulting with industry professionals, and thinking creatively to get us a favorable outcome. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone!
- ★★★★★Condo Deck Repairs Denied By Insurance
Kelly · business law ·
Our 12-unit condo complex required some major repairs to our decks due in part to wind driven rain and poor construction. Upon suggestion from our architect and construction company that our issues are something insurance might actually cover, we filed a claim with our insurance company but it was of course denied. At this point our HOA met with Dan. He was very honest about the process, possible outcomes, costs, and clearly communicated what to expect if we wanted to secure his services. Throughout our meeting, Dan was not pushy at all. Looking back, our community is very happy we hired Dan. He kept us in the loop throughout the whole process and promptly responded to any questions we had. Dan knew our insurance policy inside and out and in the end he was able to convince our insurance company to cover our repairs. This was the best outcome we could have hoped for and avoided more costly and time consuming measures that Dan had also prepared us for. At this point Dan acted as our liaison to the insurance company. I, being the treasurer of the HOA, submitted our invoices to Dan and he made sure they were properly submitted to our insurance for prompt re-imbursement. The construction on our decks took nearly a year to fully complete (partly due to our lovely winters in the PNW and partly due to Covid restrictions). Throughout it all, Dan was very patient and continued to periodically checked in with us on the construction progress and advised us when we should submit our invoices for insurance re-imbursement. The entire process went smoothly with Dan and his team leading the way and we are so grateful that Dan was able to to help us put our hard earned money back in our pockets.
- ★★★★★Insurance settlement
Alan · business law ·
I am an Condo Association HOA board member. The Association was faced with repairing millions of dollars of wind driven rain damage and our insurance company had denied the claim. Our consultant suggested that we ask Dan to review our claim. Dan found a forgotten tolling agreement with the insura nce company that meant our claim was still active. We would have never known about it except for Dan's insights and through investigation. We engaged Dan as our lawyer and he guided us every step of the way through the complicated process of reaching a settlement. One of Dan's most notable qualities is his patience and clarity in answering the multitude of questions asked by owners and the board. He was always willing to attend evening HOA meetings and participate in board meetings. In the end, Dan helped us reach a settlement with the insurance company that will pay for a major portion of the needed repairs. In my experience, there is a unique quality of cooperation, respect and rhythm when working with a consummate and caring professional. That is what I felt when working with Dan.
- ★★★★★Fantastic result from this outstanding attorney!

Dan represented our small HOA in claims against multiple insurers for recovery for significant property damage caused by wind driven rain. The homeowners in our HOA are mostly retirees living on fixed incomes who would have been severely impacted by the costs of repairing this damage. Dan's exhaust ive research, assertive advocacy, and impressive organizational skills resulted in multiple recoveries for our association that exceeded our initial expectations. Over the several year time period that these claims progressed, he kept our board well-informed about the progress of the claims through clear, timely, and detailed written communications. He managed our expectations well about potential recoveries, but did not hesitate to negotiate fiercely on our behalf for every dollar. I am the president of the HOA as well as a retired attorney who is AV rated by Martindale Hubbell. I've retained, supervised, and worked with scores of attorneys over the years. Dan is one of the very best attorneys I've ever worked with. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone facing similar claims.
