The Greenspan Co. Testimonials

...Not knowing where to turn, I called John Garamendi, former Insurance Commissioner of California and currently a U. S. Congressman. John, without hesitating, told me to call you. Looking back I know two things: 1) I cannot thank John enough for the recommendation and, 2) it is the best decision we ever made and the claim was concluded and paid in the total sum 4.5 times greater than Travelers original offer!

Then I spoke to Douglas Lavine of The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International. He seemed knowledgeable and sincere. He took the time to explain exactly what services his company would provide... He provided me with local references and the names of other organizations (including Unions) that he had worked with... The fire took place on December 12. By March 15 we were pleasantly surprised by the settlement The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International had negotiated on our behalf.

We were all so excited to have moved into our newly renovated building in June, only to have our hopes and dreams shattered just one month later. We were in a state of shock and did not really know where to begin but we knew that we must not waste any time if we expected to serve the young people in the community. Our main concern was for the children and what they would do if they were deprived of the summer program that they had been eagerly anticipating. When it was suggested that we engage the services of The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International, we really did not know what to expect. However, since we did not have the experience nor the expertise to negotiate with the insurance company, we felt that it was important to have the services of a professional adjuster…We cannot thank you enough for all that you did for us. We know that without your knowledge and expertise, we would not have been able to be 'up and running' within days of the fire. The temporary repairs have also enabled us to offer our youth programs to an even larger number of youth from the community. What impressed us most about your company was the final settlement figures. You were able to obtain the maximum amount from our insurance carrier. We know that had we tried to negotiate on our own, because of the complexities of the insurance coverage, we probably would have settled for less.

It became quite evident in the days following the fire that we were in over our heads. With the pressure from our insurance company to settle fast and low, hiring The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International was clearly the best decision we made. Not only did The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International have the available resources to accurately assess our loss and negotiate on our behalf, I also believe we would not have received the last installment of our settlement without your assistance.

I am the executive director of the Historic Core Business Improvement District; an elected property based organization representing 150 properties in a 12-block area of downtown Los Angeles. Handling this matter myself was not a difficult task for me, since I am a former in-house trial attorney for Hartford Insurance Company and my present job requires the oversight of major development projects. My experience in business and law, however, gave me the wisdom to hire a professional to handle this loss. The most amazing aspect of the settlement is that even with my knowledge of the insurance and construction industry, the settlement amount was 100% above my estimate of my loss. Further, The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International also handled my tenants' losses, and instead of creating a conflict of interest as I expected, it created more harmony and a better working relationship with my tenants. My tenants did not have the feeling I was doing anything behind their backs since we all had the same adjusting company. In conclusion, The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International was professional and delivered beyond my expectations.

Greenspan Adjusters International assisted the Federation through very difficult and complex times. Your expertise and skill were exemplary.

There is no doubt that your assistance and guidance resulted in a settlement that was four (4) times what we had anticipated.

Adjusters International worked tirelessly with our business to put together the necessary information to get the best possible results from the insurance company that would be the best outcome for our situation. While other businesses faced with similar circumstances were being turned away by their insurance providers due to the nature of the record snowfalls our region faced, Adjusters International fought on our behalf to secure a settlement for the full amount of our policy.
