1. Shouldn't I Just Let The Insurance Company Handle My Claim?
Let me ask you this: Would You Let the Wolf Stand Guard Over the Chicken Coup? The insurance company adjuster is a PAID EMPLOYEE and is trained by the insurance company. Quite simply put, his or her first duty and responsibility is to his employer — the insurance company he represents.
Many insurance companies train their adjusters in methods and policies that keep the insurance company's own interests in the foreground. In an interview, Ina Delong, a former insurance company adjuster, now turned consumer advocate, told the 60 Minute TV News Program: "The Insurance companies don't want adjusters who are trained by anyone except them because if they really knew what they were doing, the insurance claim (your settlement) would be higher." In 1991, John Garamendi, the then insurance commissioner of California, characterized the insurance industry as stuck in the old days of paying out as little as possible. Unfortunately, we see this happening every day, and it is very sad, especially for the insured who does not really understand what is happening to them.

2. How Much Will This Cost Me?
A good Public Adjuster doesn't cost you, it pays!! It is like having a good accountant who prepares your tax return. The CPA's job is to minimize your tax within the framework of the tax code. Our job is to maximize your recovery within the framework of the policy.
We are not paid until money is collected from the Insurance Company. In fact, we spend our money and our time helping to document and process your claim before we are paid anything. When you get a check from the insurance company, that is when you pay us a small percentage to us.
