What Does It Mean to Negotiate With a Public Adjuster?
What Happened
Jacksonville is a fast-growing city with a wide mix of older homes and newer construction. Because of this, fire and smoke damage claims—especially those related to cooking accidents or HVAC malfunctions—are far too common. In this case, our client, a retired teacher living in the Arlington area, experienced a grease fire that sent thick smoke through the entire home via the air ducts.
Why You Need a Jacksonville Public Adjuster for Denied Claims
Once our client called us, we immediately took over. As a licensed public adjuster in Jacksonville, we handled every part of the process—from damage documentation to formal negotiations. First, we brought in fire restoration experts who helped us uncover:
- Soot and smoke damage in multiple rooms
- Corroded electronics and wiring
- HVAC system contamination
- Irreversible cabinet and appliance damage
Then, we prepared a detailed claim rebuttal supported by expert reports and high-resolution documentation. We knew the original offer was nowhere near what was needed for a real recovery—and we were determined to change that.
Finally, after weeks of back-and-forth, we secured a final settlement of $89,000. That’s more than 7 times what the insurance company initially offered.

Stephen and his team have helped me and a few of my clients to get the appropriate claim monies for damage to their homes. I am a full-time professional realtor who runs into clients with various issues in their home from time to time. Many of my clients claims have been denied or lowballed by their insurance companies and Florida’s Best Public Adjusters has worked hard to get them the proper compensation to make all, not some, of the repairs required to get their home back to its original condition. The last two clients that I referred to Stephen were for a complete mold remediation and the other was for a totally new roof.
My experience is that they are always prompt, professional and very persistent. I highly recommend their services.
Tim D. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Chris Gay was very knowledgeable and able to handle my claim, which was initially denied by my insurance company. He knew the FL laws and codes which was critical. He guided me through the whole process and got me paid a fair amount.
Robin G. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The public adjuster that was assigned to us, Maylin, was personable, dependable, and knowledgeable. We would gladly work with her and the firm she represents again.
