Letter from the Editor

Best regards, John Czuba Editor, Best's Directories of Recommended Insurance Attorneys and Adjusters

Member Spotlight Dennis Falletti, SRVP Business Development Brown and Joseph, Ltd.   Mr. Falletti's focus is the insurance industry. Over the past eight years he developed new and innovative solutions that address many of the problematic issues pertaining to the recovery of delinquent premium audits, deductibles, earned premium and various other receivables issues within P&C and L&H.  He has insurance clients that have implemented many of his suggested policies and procedures to increase recovery of past-due items and reduce risk and costs pertaining to litigation and policy renewal.   Following are two articles authored by Mr. Falletti, which were published in various media outlets. These articles address issues and provide clarity in making decisions pertaining to litigation and the value of written-off premium and receivables.
