The Greenspan Co. Testimonials

Macerich Property Management Company recently sustained a loss of over $1.5 million resulting from a fire at one of its shopping centers. We retained the services of The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International, and specifically Paul M. Migdal as its representative adjuster, to represent us in the presentation and negotiation of our insurance claims. Mr. Migdal and The Greenspan Co./ Adjusters International represented us with great professionalism and we are extremely satisfied with the results obtained.

Your firm accomplished, what would normally be considered 'impossible in Hawaii,' in the most 'EXPERT' manner Hawaii has ever seen…The documentation and presentation of the claims were complete and presented to the Insurance Carrier's Adjuster and settlements agreed upon within a matter of days. The expertise of your firm has saved Pacific Terrazo & Tile Corporation et al thousands of dollars and paid your fee many times over.

Even though I consider myself a prudent Risk Manager, there are so many details that you thought of that we didn't. Your calculation of the business interruption portion of our loss was by far more accurate and advantageous to our bottom line than any number our accounting department came up with…I was especially appreciative of the manner in which you negotiated with the insurance company adjuster. As you know, we have an ongoing relationship with our carriers, and rather than creating an adversarial relationship with Kemper's adjuster, you immediately initiated a 'team' concept, which certainly inured to our benefit.

Mr. Greenspan did an outstanding job in coordinating the disposition of the damaged property and presenting the claims to the insurance companies. His fee was nominal compared to the recoveries obtained through his adjusting expertise.

We greatly appreciate your professionalism, knowledge, and experience that have assisted us in the preparation of the claim and through our recent negotiations with the insurance carriers. It is clear to us that without your involvement we would not have received the 'fair' settlement that was concluded in December. The team you assembled (Gary Johnson, Jim Warren, and Paul Migdal) brought extensive experience to the table during a time when it was critical. Without this experience, we would not have been able to make it through the catastrophe in the manner we did.

My area of specialty is in dentistry, not in dealing with insurance companies. Insurance companies are in the business to make money, not to help out the Insured. Your knowledge, help, caring and expertise in adjusting the losses, both property and business interruption far surpassed my expectations.

Your expertise allowed me to continue to run my business and take care of my other rental properties while you took care of the fire and all the problems with the insurance company. Because of you I was able to get everything paid and my new store rebuilt with a minimum of upset. I have no doubt that with your help, we got more money. Your fee was definitely worth it. And I got to do what I do best…make tortillas and you did what you do best - make your customers money.

Time and again you had the creative solution, the tough negotiating point, or the quick response necessary to keep our insurance claim on track with the insurance adjusters. I am convinced that without your unflagging enthusiasm for this claim we would not have settled as quickly, nor for as much as we ultimately did.
