About our expert 

Although not a lawyer, Bryan Tucker has accrued 37 years of experience in most aspects of the New Zealand Insurance industry. This includes:

  1. Advocating for clients to have millions of dollars in claims paid.
  2. Successfully battling in the High Court, District Court and Disputes Tribunal - all without a lawyer.
  3. Providing life insurance technical advice to clients, staff, advisers and senior managers.
  4. Managing teams of staff and adviser's in a large nationwide insurance company.
  5. Operating a successful life insurance brokerage of his own.

Bryan is like a dog with a bone when he takes a case. He relishes battles with corporate lawyers - knowing that he isn't incurring any costs while the other side is spending $1,000 an hour squabbling about the detail.  

What makes him even more of a concern to a insurance companies is that he knows exactly how every part of the insurance application and claim process should work. If he can see gaps that have disadvantaged his clients, he will exploit them until someone makes a favourable decision. 

He has long relationships with many key decision-makers. He can have conversations in the background that a lawyer could never have. He understands the potential brand damage that messy declined claims can bring an insurer. So he will use this to help where necessary.

More importantly, Bryan doesn't make statements or claims that he can't back up with carefully accumulated evidence.

He is developing a successful track record with insurers making it more likely they will relent as soon as Decline contacts them. He settled his last advocacy case 10 days after writing to the insurer. The client had wasted two years fighting with the help of a lawyer.  

If Bryan agrees to take your case on, it should only be a matter of time before you get the money you and your family deserve.
