I've had the pleasure of working with Stephen Lippy for several years, and I’ve consistently watched him bring tremendous success to his clients’ claims. His dedication to Florida homeowners is evident in every interaction, and it’s been remarkable to watch him grow Florida's Best Public Adjuster into a true statewide powerhouse. As an appraiser, I’ve had the opportunity to serve on a number of his clients’ claims. Each time, Stephen and his team have presented a well-organized, clearly articulated product that streamlines the appraisal process and allows for efficient resolution. His firm is professional, thorough, and simply put—they get results. Stephen is outstanding at what he does, and it shows in every file he touches.

I found myself in new and confusing territory in the aftermath of tornadoes and their destruction. It was a comfort to know that help was just a phone call or an email away.

Florida’s Best Public Adjusters ARE the best. Our adjuster came to the house a few times to scope out the damage from a water leak and he spent quite a bit of time measuring the affected areas. The resulting claim amount was amazing. If we had handled the insurance company ourselves we would have come up way short. We highly recommend and trust Florida’s Best. Thanks Julian!
