Though initially employed one year after the earthquake solely to prepare our business interruption claim, you suggested following your review of our insurance file that the measure of loss calculated on our building claim by our insurer was far less than what we were entitled to collect. We agreed to allow you to discuss the situation with our insurer which ultimately resulted in substantial dollars in excess of their previous loss calculation. Along with your excellent settlement on the business interruption claim, we could not have been happier. When we experienced our severe fire in Los Angeles, you responded on an expedite basis and, with the assistance and involvement of your Los Angeles office, gave us immediate and necessary advice as to inventory techniques, salvage agreements, emergency protection, building estimators, etc. that allowed our claim to be processed promptly and, ultimately, have our store reopen faster than initially expected. The dollar results of the adjustment were equally favorable to your previous representation of our firm, and, if need be, we would not hesitate to utilize your services in the future.

As Chief Financial Officer of NEC, I constantly work with attorneys, bankers, brokers, underwriters, consultants, and tax and audit professionals. Without reservation, Bill is amongst the very best in ability, seasoned professionalism, and maintaining a mature and rational approach in resolving difficult matters. Equally important was Bill's unrelenting effort to bring the claim to a successful closure. In short, Bill's services were unparalleled and world class.

As the old adage goes, a company is only as good as its people. From the inception, Bill Greenspan took the lead in selecting a professional team of experts from within his company to evaluate and nitpick our insurance policy, prepare detailed inventory of business and personal property and retained a construction consultant to establish the scope of work and assist in determining the cost of the physical rehabilitation of the fire damaged structure. It would be na￯ve to assume that the insurance carrier has its client's best interest at heart and is prepared to offer him the optimum settlement for his loss. You need someone like Bill Greenspan and his team of experts on your side to pull for you, to prepare, present and negotiate your claim.

We recovered all the costs on the business interruption claim and repairs of the equipment caused by the electric outage. If you personally were not involved in this claim, NTS would not have been able to recover what we did, since the insurance company's position was that the electrical outage was an act of God and not covered by the policy. The position you took with the insurance company was clearly brilliant and they backed off their non-coverage position with only a small battle.

Neasi-Weber International's headquarters are only a few blocks from the epicenter of the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake. The damage to our facility was so severe that we were forced to relocate our offices for a period of six months. We incurred both personal property and business interruption claims as a result. We also quickly learned that our insurer had a different perspective of evaluating our loss than the reality of the occurrence. Gary, your expertise brought about a settlement that we believe was advantageous to Neasi-Weber International. We were particularly pleased that considerable time and effort was spent understanding our organization and business before action was taken on our behalf.

We got paid on Friday, and I guess there was still a little bit of doubt in the back of my mind that something might go wrong up until the last minute, especially after seeing how Royal and their ace attorney acted throughout the entire adventure. But, now that is all behind us and it is finally over. We were all impressed by your work and we know that we could have not have finished this claim without you.
Mike Walsh, CFO
Orca Bay Seafoods
Your team did an excellent job of analyzing the coverage, identifying opportunities, coordinating resources and available data, and generally marshalling the effort. It was worth noting here that the claim itself was a little dicey, at least from a proof standpoint. Again your team made absolutely the most of the claim and prosecuted it in respect to our insurance carrier with deft and expertise.
