The Greenspan Co. Testimonials

Thanks to Mr. Elkman's guidance, support and calming influence, I was able to cope with the job of re-building my company. It's difficult to watch such a very large part of your life go up in smoke. Trying to cope with the fire, employee concerns, cleaning up debris, living up to financial commitments and fighting with the insurance company was far more stress than I needed in my life.

Because of our lack of knowledge in handling a claim of this nature, we felt it imperative to employ the assistance of professionals in the field of processing a claim... The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International had the best interest of IOTA in mind, capturing items that we, as novices in a destruction of this magnitude, would never have thought could be made a part of the claim. They were able to assist us with knowing in which category particular losses should be placed to gain the most advantage in recovering as much as possible of what was destroyed. The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International demonstrated professionalism in every aspect of our dealings, treating us with courtesy and understanding, which at a time of loss such as this, was greatly appreciated. We are grateful for the manner in which The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International came in and took over the claim for losses, leaving the management and employees of IOTA to focus on continuing our business efforts with as little business interruption as possible.

Needless to say, your professionalism, as well as your team's, was apparent throughout your handling of the settlement and we believe as a result of it we were able to maximize the coverage.

What can I say except that without your involvement, we would have never collected the proceeds we received for our building, personal property and extra expense claims…With respect to the personal property claim, you did a superb job in documenting all of the books, school papers, furniture, equipment and supplies that were destroyed. We probably would have accepted a figure substantially less than what your office documented. More importantly, you were able to minimize the co-insurance penalty and depreciation that would have applied had we tried to handle this portion of the loss by ourselves…Through your efforts, we were able to substantially upgrade the classrooms that were destroyed in the fire. More importantly, we now have four additional classrooms from your negotiation efforts under our extra expense claim…You certainly alleviated a lot of the burden off of my shoulders and my staff in handling this claim.

The State Bar had a fire loss on October 5, 1986 in Los Angeles... The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International was highly recommended and we engaged them to be our representative. The fire loss was originally estimated at $500-600,000. It has been settled at over $1 million. It is only due to The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International's diligence, attention to detail and motivation to represent the client's best interest that the amount collected reached this mark.

A few days later I began to understand that we needed help, even though our insurance adjuster claimed we would be back in business within sixty days (what a joke)…We could not have done that well on our own, let alone all the work that was involved. We had a difficult case and you and your Company solved it for us.

Our insurance company's first offer was $250,000. As a result of your hard work, tenacity, and unwillingness to give up, coupled with your years of experience and knowledge of 'the game', you were able to secure for us a settlement of $1,900,000. You and your team created and implemented a winning strategy. You did great.

We know that the task was laborious and tedious but he never wavered in seeking all the information that would favor our position. His relentless emphasis on discovery and detail permitted us to be adequately compensated under the terms and conditions of the insurance policy.
