Months after the storm passed, the County was still faced with tremendous burdens related to the insurance coverage issues and FEMA and MEMA eligibility issues. Jackson County hired Adjusters International to provide professional services for disaster assistance, remediation, restoration and recovery efforts....Their expertise with governmental regulations, the complex FEMA process and insurance adjustments resulted in our successful claim for over $2 million in additional FEMA Public Assistance funding specifically; in our successful negotiations with our insurance carrier; and in numerous other increases in the values FEMA and MEMA initially designated for County projects. Jackson County will always be mindful of the help we received from Adjusters International when we needed it most.

When I experienced a fire in my home, I immediately contacted your insurance company. You both worked and fought very hard to insure that I had received all the monies due to me under my insurance policy and also made sure that my house got put back together, right... I would highly recommend your services... Your service, professionalism and dedication to my claim were more than I could ask for.

Within months of your engagement, we had our check in hand. We felt comforted and confident that our situation was given the prompt attention that was needed. I would recommend your services to any in this situation.

Certainly the tragedy of the World Trade Center explosion will remain etched in our memories forever. We can, however, take pride in the united response of hundreds of people which enabled the complex to be reopened in record time and reconstructed on an expedited schedule. At the same time, as you well know, we were involved in a long, sometimes agonizing process of pursuing settlement activities with insurers. Without your help, and the help of many others the settlement wouldn't have been concluded as successfully as it was. On behalf of The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, I would like to thank you for the expert advice you provided to me and my staff in our effort to bring the World Trade Center explosion insurance claim to closure. Your expertise and insight in this long and arduous negotiation were invaluable.

The persistence of the AI team as our advocate allowed us to work through the maze of paperwork required by the carrier and to expedite resolution of our claim. AI personnel were always available to meet with my staff, whether it was during business hours, late at night, or at any time during any weekend. On every occasion that the insurance company brought in an additional "expert" to minimize our claim and drag the claim process out, you countered with an AI professional who was more than able to level the playing field for us.

...Certainly, other private adjusters had swooped into our driveway with no regard to the shock we had just been given or compassion for the situation we found ourselves in. However, it was very clear from my first conversation with [your adjuster], that we had found in Globe Midwest a partner that was compassionate, professional, ethical and more importantly, competent. ...[Your adjusters] graciously answered question after question, promptly returned phone calls, and even hunted down VP’s to sign checks for us on holiday breaks. Both of these individuals brought me a peace of mind throughout a fairly horrible ordeal that I simply cannot put a value on. ...

We had initially thought we would be able to assess the damage and work with FEMA and our insurance carrier's adjusters by ourselves. It quickly became evident that we were going to need help. We realized we did not have the personnel, time or expertise it was going to take to deal with complex governmental regulations and equally complex insurance and adjusting issues, especially when it was taking all the resources we had just to get essential county services up and running again. ...AI really came to the rescue. You delivered what you promised, and that counts for everything down here in South East Texas.

Based upon the recommendation by the hotel's legal counsel, Adjusters International was retained as "insurance adjusters" representing the hotel's interest. Adjusters International immediately took control of the situation, first, by meeting with the hotel consultant group and coordinating their repair plans and establishing a protocol for dealing with the insurer. Second, establishing guidelines for the insurer, their consultants and adjusters ...The primary benefit was that the hotel consultant team and general contractors were allowed to focus on the earthquake repairs instead of dealing with the insurance adjusters. Adjusters International performed their duties in a highly professional manner exhibiting extraordinary knowledge in insurance claims processing, representing and fighting for the best interests of the policyholder...

I would like to thank you and Globe for the work you did on our behalf, following the terrible fire that destroyed our restaurant. I had no idea how much research, documentation and negotiation would be involved in seeking and reaching a just settlement from the insurers—but I have one now. Just thinking of how I might have attempted this effort on my own gives me real pause, because I really don't think I could have done it. Without doubt, I would not have achieved the numbers that you were able to deliver. I simply wouldn't have known how. ...

...There were many difficult issues that had to be dealt with in my claim. Your adjuster took control of the process and his performance was outstanding! The insurance company wanted to pay me market value on the building, which means the value would be next to nothing in the area I was in. [Your adjuster] fought them and negotiated a settlement that I know I would never have come close to on my own. He kept after the insurance company and made sure I was paid properly on all my coverages. What was also incredible to me was, though all my merchandise and fixtures were burned to ashes, Globe Midwest Adjusters International's people were able to reconstruct the records and details so I was paid policy limits for the contents portion of the policy. To whoever is reading this, you would be doing yourself a favor if you hired Globe Midwest Adjusters International to help you with your claim.

Our loss was certainly not easy to measure. ...
