can I get out of a contract with a roofing company?
We had an insurance adjuster come out after Ike hit our area. He said our claim was smaller than our deductable. A roofing company came out and we signed a contract with them and they filed a claim in our name. Now they want all the insurance money but their claim was closed and our money came on the original claim we made. Can we get out of the contract?

You need to discuss this with an attorney in your area, before breaking the contract. One place to look for the lawyer you need in this case is our website, http://attorneypages.com
There isn't enough, in your question, to connect the insurance claim to the roofing contract. Unless the insurance claim was part of the roofing contract, it doesn't sound like a reason good enough to get you out of the contract. You might have another reason that is good enough, because of something you haven't mentioned. This is why you need to see a lawyer about this!
