Miami Junior Partner Anthony Perez, Esq., obtained a dismissal with prejudice in the matter styled The Restoration Team a/a/o Yania Padilla v. Citizens Property Insurance Corporation.

Defendant filed its Motion for Summary Judgment, making the argument that the services rendered by Plaintiff, which were performed 17 months after the date of loss, did not constitute necessary emergency measures, and were therefore not covered under the insurance policy.
