Areas of Practice:
Raj Pandit’s disaster law experience spans almost a decade. He has advocated for victims from Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike, Gustav, Sandy, and (now) Harvey. As a survivor of Hurricane Katrina himself, he personally knows the struggle of disaster recovery.
He leverages his experience as a proven leader in disaster recovery litigation to help homeowners maximize their insurance recovery. In addition to his extensive hurricane experience, he also has flood experience, tornado experience from the F-5 tornadoes in Alabama in 2011, and experience with first-party property claims involving accident-based damage. He currently represents hundreds of homeowners who were affected by the historic Louisiana flooding of August 2016.
He also deploys his business and legal training to successfully represent regional lenders, real estate developers, corporations, lessors, and high net worth individuals. His experience includes commercial and residential real estate transactions, finance and restructuring asset transactions, and corporate and banking litigation.
