Claim Consultation
Sometimes you don’t need representation. You need answers.
Not every situation calls for a public adjuster to take over the claim. Sometimes you have a specific question, a decision to make, or a process you don’t want to walk into blind.
Claim consultation is straightforward access to my time and experience. We talk through your situation, I explain what your policy actually says, and you leave knowing what your options are.
What people come to me for
• Should I file this claim at all, or will it cost me more than it recovers?
• What does my policy actually cover here?
• The carrier sent this estimate — what am I looking at?
• What is the adjuster going to ask me, and what should I have ready?
• I got a denial letter. What does it mean and what are my options?
• What happens next in this process?
• Is this worth pursuing further?
What’s included
• Review of your policy declarations and relevant provisions
• Discussion of your specific situation
• Plain explanation of the process, your options, and realistic expectations
• Guidance on documentation and what to preserve
• A recommendation on how to proceed
What this is not
Claim consultation is advice, not representation. I do not contact your insurance company, file anything on your behalf, or negotiate for you under this service. If you decide you want full representation afterward, that’s a separate conversation and a separate written agreement.
Fees
Hourly, agreed in writing before we begin. Not contingent on your claim’s outcome — you’re paying for time and expertise, not a result.
