...Although I am a retired attorney having practiced in San Francisco for forty years, started several businesses, and thought I was a pretty smart guy, I was overwhelmed! I came with a water pistol, and the adjuster had a fire house. I was lost. I had no idea of the cost of labor, materials or how these things are calculated. The insurance adjuster was in complete control, and I was representing myself. Within minutes I knew I had a fool for a client....Making a long story short, The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International brought in their own experts, and after several months of negotiations I reached a settlement of almost $600,000…THREE TIMES the amount of the first offer..Based on my experience I have to advise to anyone who has suffered a property loss through fire or flood:
1. Immediately call your insurance company to report the loss.
2. Then, immediately call The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International so you can fight fire with fire. Don’t wait!
