Terms of Use

Effective November 11, 2026.

By using this website you agree to these terms. The site is operated by Barnes Corley, a law firm whose attorneys are licensed to practice law in New York.

Attorney advertising

This website is attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every claim depends on its own facts, the policy language and the insurer's response, and nothing on this site promises or predicts a result.

Not legal advice

The information on this site is general information about New York homeowners insurance claims. It is not legal advice and may not reflect the most recent changes in the law. Do not act or decide not to act based on this site without talking to a lawyer about your situation.

No attorney-client relationship

Using this site, calling us, emailing us or submitting the contact form does not create an attorney-client relationship. A relationship exists only after we agree in writing to represent you. Until then, please do not send confidential information.

Where we practice

Our attorneys are licensed in New York and the site is intended for people with property in New York. Our location pages describe communities we serve; they do not mean the firm has an office in each community.

We are not public adjusters

We are attorneys. The firm does not hold a public adjuster license and does not offer public adjusting services. Where we work on a claim alongside a licensed public adjuster you have hired, we explain how our roles differ.

Fees

An initial review is free. Fee arrangements, including any contingency fee and how costs and expenses are handled, are set out in a written engagement agreement before any work begins.

Images

Photos and video on this site are stock images with models. They do not show our attorneys, clients or actual cases.

Links and accuracy

Links to other websites, such as FEMA or government agencies, are provided for convenience; we do not control those sites. We try to keep this site accurate but make no warranty that it is complete or current.

Governing law

These terms are governed by New York law. Questions: intake@barnescorley.com or 516-844-0068.
