Benjamin Esco

Skilled and diligent representation for a complex insurance claim

I hired Mr. Esco at Cole, Scott & Kissane after my homeowner's insurance company denied a significant claim for water damage, citing a questionable policy exclusion. From our initial consultation at their Jacksonville office, I was impressed by his methodical approach. He drew on his deep understanding of Florida insurance law, which he clearly honed during his years at the University of Florida and his recognized work in insurance litigation. Benjamin was not just knowledgeable; he was strategic. He patiently explained the nuances of my policy and the likely arguments from the insurer, framing the dispute not just as a contract issue but as a matter of bad faith. His preparation was exhaustive, and he secured a very favorable settlement that covered all repairs and additional living expenses. The one area where I’d note a slight delay was in email responses during particularly busy court weeks—sometimes taking a full business day to reply. However, when we did connect, he was fully briefed and focused. For anyone in Northeast Florida facing a contentious insurance dispute, Benjamin Esco provides a formidable combination of sharp legal acumen and a genuine commitment to his client’s outcome.
