She is an amazing professional but makes you laugh in a time when you really want to cry. Thank you for all your help. You have made a horrible time in my life so much better and easier to deal with.”

“My mother’s garage was T-Boned by a large pine tree during a straight-line wind storm. The garage was attached to the house, and the impact broke water lines, the impact bowed out some of the house walls like a compressed marshmallow. My mother was insured by one of the major insurance firms and had been their customer/client for well-over 65 years (yes, a 65-year loyal customer). The contractor we had selected for the repairs took one look at the damage and suggested that we get a public adjuster to assist with the insurance payments. Bringing in a public adjuster just seemed like an additional unneeded cost to us. I was very reticent as I had confidence of professional treatment as a long-time client by a “trusted” highly reputable insurance company. Even so, we did contract with a public adjuster and it was the best decision made during the entire experience.

Geremey DeBorde was assigned as our public adjuster. Meeting with him that first day was the beginning of a 2-1/2 year saga. Our “trusted” highly reputable insurance company was anything but…. Over the 2-1/2 years, we went through 10 different insurance adjusters, structural engineers, and field evaluators. The insurance company did their best to low-ball damage estimates, delay action, deny expenditures, and wear down the client into accepting their insufficient payments. Without Geremey, we would not have known the true extent of the damage, the actual funds needed to conduct an adequate repair, and been able to interact on an equal level with trained insurance company adjusters. Our public adjuster was able to produce repair estimates and costs using the same software as the insurance company and was able to quantitatively show where the insurance company estimates were lacking. The insurance company wanted to do a meager repair job, but work by Geremey eventually convinced the insurance company that the garage needed to tore down and rebuilt. The final damage estimate by the insurance company was nearly THREE times the original estimate. Geremey was also astute in insurance policy clauses and was able to get the insurance company to pay for almost one year of living expenses (as the house was uninhabitable).

You pay insurance thinking that, when disaster strikes, you will “be in good hands” or have help “like a good neighbor”. Nothing is further from the truth. The insurance company took your money already and they do not want to give it back. They are not working in your best interest. You need your own champion who is trained in insurance policies, insurance procedures, and most importantly insurance tricks and deceptive practices. Geremey was ours and saved us from a true disaster in the end. In the end, our repair contractor disappointed us, the insurance company greatly disappointed us, but our public adjuster did not. He walked the road with us, and when we need to go the extra mile (or five), he was there. Do yourself a favor and get a public adjuster.”
