What it costs

$0

Initial review. No obligation to hire us.

10%

Florida’s maximum fee on claim payments made during the first year after a Governor-declared state of emergency, for claims from that emergency.

20%

Florida’s maximum for other claims, and for emergency claims after that first year. Reopened or supplemental claims: up to 20% of the new payment.

These caps are set by Florida law for residential and condo unit owner policies, and are a percentage of the claim payment. If you choose representation, our fee and how it is calculated are explained in a written agreement before you sign.

What we can review

Cracking or settlement can have different causes. We review the policy, engineering or geological findings, and insurer correspondence without treating an unconfirmed cause as established fact. Structural safety requires qualified professional evaluation.

  • Dated observations and prior property records
  • Complete engineering and geological reports
  • Sinkhole versus catastrophic-collapse coverage
  • Stabilization, repair scope, and coverage decisions

For your first conversation

  • Note when you first observed cracks or changes in doors, windows, or floors; use existing dated photos where possible.
  • Gather prior inspection, engineering, or geological reports, including their attachments.
  • Describe what you observed without guessing at the cause. Tell us whether a qualified professional has already evaluated it.

A clear next step

Start with the property location, what happened, and your main question. We review what is available and discuss whether a document review, inspection, or specialist input makes sense. If you choose representation, the work and fee terms belong in a written agreement.

What to bring

Bring the policy, claim number if you have one, photographs, insurer letters, estimates, and records of temporary work. You can start a conversation without every document. Tell us what is missing rather than guessing.

Does a review guarantee coverage?

No. Coverage and payment depend on the policy, the facts, and applicable requirements. The initial review is free; representation is a separate decision. Public adjusters do not provide legal advice or emergency response.
