Answer to TAPED PHONE CONVERSATION
Taped Phone ConversationWas the other employee also fired? Did your husband have any history of problems at work? Why did the company tape record the call? Did your husband know the call was being taped or that his calls were subject to be taped?
To know if you have a case against the company I need to have the answer to these and other questions. Depending on the answers he may or may not have some recourse. Whether it is me or another attorney he needs to seek legal representation as soon as possible.

Answer to homeowners insurance denied claim
Four WheelerFirst you should have a lawyer look at your homeowner's policy to see if there is a basis for a claim against it. Just because the adjuster denies the claim, doesn't necessarily mean you are completely out of luck.
Your obligation to the finance company is not going to be effected by the theft. You need to figure out a way to get your homeowner's policy to pay for it. Go see a lawyer.
If you have more questions or need more information, do not hesitate to contact me at acrone@cronemason.com or 1.800.403.7868. Good luck.
