The Greenspan Co. Testimonials

In our more than 45 collective years in the news business, Craig and I never dreamed we would be reporting our own disaster, but the Eastbay Firestorm changed more than our dreams. You are very skillful, Randy; not only because of your encyclopedic knowledge about insurance matters, but also because of your personal sensitivity. Had we been negotiating for ourselves during these two years since the fire, we might have thrown our hands up in total despair, but you stayed at the table and eventually convinced State Farm to do what was fair and just.

I did not know what to do, so I hired you and The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International to take care of my claim. I greatly appreciate how you handled the case; you did an excellent job using a very methodical approach. Whenever I had any questions, you had a very clear and understandable response. You exactly knew how to make things run smoothly and efficiently.

In July 2006, a fire of unknown origin destroyed a significant portion of our 27,000 square foot office building in Santa Clara, California. This was the first and only major fire loss that our company has encountered. The office building was vacant at the time of the loss and we were in consultations with the city to redevelop the site, so we were unsure if we could even make a claim for the damages considering the complexity of our situation. Our insurance agent advised us to not make a claim for the fire damages, but thankfully we listened to your advice and counsel regarding how to handle this matter. Every aspect of our claim was diligently handled by Paul Migdal and his team, from reviewing policy coverage, hiring construction specialist to determine the scope of property damage, depositions preparation, and corresponding and negotiating with the insurance company. Given our inexperience with these matters and our need to focus on our primary real estate management business, we were relieved that Paul took the leadership role in dealing with these matters. Without the time, effort and expertise that Paul put into this matter on our behalf, we could not have achieved the final settlement that you obtained…The fee you earned in this claim was well deserved – I know for certain that our insurance settlement was several times greater than what we could have achieved on our own, not to mention the time and effort that you saved us.

The settlement was beyond my expectations and almost three times what we thought it would be…I knew there were going to be numerous issues. Co-insurance penalties was a huge problem as my insurance company tried to reduce the amount of money it owed by claiming I did not adequately insure the building. There were attorneys, contractors, fire department folks, investigators, ATF, and numerous other entities that were involved in this claim. Your team dealt with them and the army of insurance consultants very well. You got the best result and your effort to negotiate the coinsurance, depreciation, and extra expense up front was excellent…I recovered much more than I ever thought I could have on my own. I paid almost $200,000 in fees for your services. It was worth every cent in terms of the service received. There is no way I could have negotiated the settlement you did.

We again thank God, that The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International was there for us, and please, don't try to work it out on your own. You need professional help.

You provided a great service to us in analyzing, assembling and presenting our claim and obtaining a settlement that exceeded our expectations...Your fee was more than earned.

Your assistance and the competence of your Company relieved us of a tremendous amount of heartache at a time when our lives were in a state of chaos.

...With the help of Paul and Chris we were able to collect $660,000.00 of business and property losses. I can truly say that without the help of your staff we would not be in business today…Gentlemen, thank you for all your time, effort and professionalism you expressed as well as all the kind words and encouragement you provided throughout the time we worked together.
