Public Adjusting & Appraisals
Hurricane Season is Upon Us!
Since 2006, I've been a licensed public insurance adjuster in Florida. I intentionally limit the number of cases I take on, allowing me to personally manage every aspect of your claim and stay on top of all the details. This approach ensures I'm fully aware of your needs throughout the entire process.
Based in Panama City, Florida, I've experienced well over 20 tropical systems since 1989, giving me extensive experience in everything from restoration and construction to public insurance adjusting.

Prepare Yourself
The aftermath of a hurricane is a life-altering event. Dealing with the claims process can be just as difficult as the storm itself, especially when it's hard to tell the difference between people who genuinely want to help and those who don't. It's very important to do your research on any contractors that you choose to work with.
During the claims process, you may face numerous challenges, such as multiple adjusters being reassigned to your case and unreturned emails and phone calls. It's crucial to stay persistent and focused. There are many other claims being handled at the same time. The journey of rebuilding your home or business after a hurricane can be a rough road that will test your resolve, but you will make it through.
Public Adjusting Services
As your public adjuster, I'll focus on representing your best interests throughout the claims process. Here's how it works for you:
- Policy Review & Damage Documentation: By reviewing your policy with you, we both have a thorough understanding of what you're entitled to recover, followed by submitting a complete documentation of all personal and structural property damage to your insurer.
- Transparent Communication: All communications and claim-related documents are shared with you, ensuring you are always in the loop.
- Comprehensive Estimating: I personally inspect, write and submit a detailed damage repair estimate on your behalf so that I know every detail of your claim.
- Representation & Updates: I will attend all meetings with the adjuster and keep you up-to-date on all submissions.
- Your Approval is Key: I will never submit an offer for settlement or an estimate without your prior approval.
My promise is to represent your claim with the utmost integrity and to the best of my ability.
