 Hire them upfront. Do not wait around like I did as it only makes the settlement time frame longer. The Claims Advocacy team contacted me right after my fire loss to offer assistance on the claim but I thought how hard could it be to handle the settlement process myself. Little did I know. I met with the insurance company and almost the first words from them was warning me about all these public adjusters with their high fees that would be calling me. The insurance adjuster advised me not to listen, as the insurance company had my best interest at heart and would make me whole for my losses. Finally, they said their experts had finished and that the total damages were in the $650,000-$700,000 range. My policy was for $1,680,000. I settled the claim at full policy value plus some extras all because of the great work they performed. Get them in early, and let them do their magic. You will not regret it! 

 Seven alarms and 85 fire fighters later, our entire south building had burned down to the garage level...It was at this time that I learned of a profession that is known as Public Adjusters…We quickly concluded that our expertise was not in maximizing insurance claims…The question was – ‘who should we use?’…One name came up again and again. It was Claims Advocacy Work (CAW)…Everyone had glowing comments about their experiences with Al and Drew. After getting agreement from our lender, Bank of America, we entered into an agreement to have AI represent us…Complicated insurance claims in excess of $10mm are not pleasurable experiences…Choosing someone who will work hard until the claim is closed is critical. CAW, Inc did just that. 

 In a prompt and professional manner you took charge of the job and did much to relieve our fears about settling matters from such a great distance. The size of the settlement from our insurance company was also much larger than our hopes and expectations. You have done more than earn your modest fee. 

 Then I spoke to Jerry of CAW, Inc. 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. CAW had negotiated on our behalf. 

 With…assistance and advice, this whole exercise progressed in the most efficient manner, and resulted in us obtaining a very satisfactory settlement from our Insurers. 

 During the days that followed, many people appeared. Some were public adjusters and others were contractors. They all suggested that they could help us. As the dust settled and it became clear that there was no one on "our side," we began to think that maybe we could use some help. Maybe, just maybe, I was not as prepared for what lay a ahead as I thought. I met with you and Steve  from your office. I met with others who offered similar services and as a result of these early meetings I set up interviews for the "final contestants" with our board of directors. It became clear during the interviews that CAW was a "cut above the rest." It was clear that you would assemble a team that would represent our interests unfailingly regardless of the fact that you were located Plano. It became evident…from referrals and your intensity and conviction…that you were clearly the best choice for us. We never looked back. We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful job that you did. You were there for us every step of the way. You fought for us unwavering on difficult matters. You got us more than double what we probably would have gotten had we not hired you. You were worth every penny we paid you. We would never consider handling a claim of this size without you.
