Sill Public Adjusters

Don't wait until your insurance claim is denied - take proactive steps by hiring top-tier public adjusters near me to prevent claim denials from happening in the first place.

Public insurance adjusters work independently from insurance companies, serving as dedicated advocates for property owners during the complex process of filing property damage claims for homes or businesses.

Many property owners don't realize they can engage public insurance adjusters, such as Sill Public Adjusters, from the start to help prevent their claim from being rejected through expert claims management.

As North America's leading public adjusters, Sill helps hundreds of property owners annually prevent claim denials. We specialize in managing large commercial and significant residential insurance claims properly from the start.

Without expertise in insurance law, property damage assessment, or business interruption claims, the insurance claim process can quickly become overwhelming and lead to denials.

After property damage occurs, both parties face critical deadlines that must be met immediately. Missing key filing dates or remediation windows can result in denied claims.

Preventable delays or mistakes during the claim process could result in thousands of dollars in denied coverage for property owners as they attempt to recover.

Having public insurance adjusters on your side from the beginning ensures each step is handled properly to prevent denials.

Here's what our team does to prevent claim denials:

Thoroughly analyze your insurance policy coverage
Properly document all property damage and contents
Manage ALL insurance company communications effectively
Expedite claim settlement approval

While it's ideal to hire a public adjuster immediately, we may still be able to help if you're concerned about a potential denial or have questions about your claim.

With over 90 years of experience, Sill has successfully prevented claim denials and negotiated settlements with virtually every insurance provider in the industry.

Our team consists of fully licensed and state-accredited public insurance adjusters committed to protecting your interests.

With offices across North America, we provide rapid response within hours to any location. As the largest and most trusted public adjusting firm, we help ensure you receive fair claim treatment.

Our team is available 24/7; call us at 844.650.SILL to prevent problems with your insurance claim.

Seltser & Goldstein has a long history as a public adjusting Firm in New England. We made a commitment in 1935 when we opened our doors that our focus would be to educate and represent all our clients to the best of our ability.

SUCCESS STORIES

I had a home claim and Seltser and Goldstein came to me as a highly regarded referral for Insurance Adjusters. Jeff Maciorowski was a field rep who was on a call with me within hours after the accident to set up an appointment and helped us navigate the damage mitigation process and initiating claim. Bob Brown was the adjuster for my claim and he handled it professionally and efficiently. I felt like I had someone who would be fair to all parties involved and his candor and professionalism were above reproach. Seltser and Goldstein are lucky to have both gentlemen. I'll even plug the insurance company for making difficult situations easier to deal with by negotiating in good faith with Bob. 5 stars to Seltser and Goldstein and Jeff and Bob.

I met a representative from Seltser and Goldstein in February 23, 2020. That was the day my house was on fire. The Rep was very personable and treated my wife and I with dignity during this tragedy.We engaged their services and it was great from that day on. The Dan Davidson's and Paul Le were outstanding and made this tragedy workable. My wife and I are very happy with the work they did to make working with the Ins. Co a reality would recommend Seltser and Goldstein to any of my friends who are in need of a public adjuster. Thank you for your professional service.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Maciorowski, during a recent situation at my home that displaced my family for two months. When the event occurred, Jeff was very responsive to my call and was at my house immediately to consult us on what potential services and options would be available to my family. Jeff was instrumental during the process and managed many of the items required to place my family in alternate housing, while managing the service providers to address the repairs needed so we can eventually return home. It was great to have Jeff as a resource during this process and the entire S&G team was remarkable and always there for us with any questions or concerns we had. I would highly recommend the services provided by S&G, since everyone there was always professional and very responsive during a challenging time. I am not sure how we would've managed that process without the support from Jeff and the entire S&G team!

After a tree fell on my house and my insurance company was giving me the run-around for /months/, I contacted Seltser & Goldstein for help. With great thanks to Mr. Robert Brown Jr and Mr. Robert Brown III, I am finally getting the funds to start repairing my home. They have helped to sort out a messy situation and make sure our claim will resolve to make sure -everything- is taken into consideration. I am so grateful for the more senior Mr. Brown's tenacity, and will absolutely recommend these folks to anyone wanting to make sure that every dollar is accounted for on an insurance claim. These folks also get a special grade for fantastic communication skills, never made me feel like I was in the dark. Just spectacular.

This company, specifically Paul Le provided phenomenal service, from the first phone call they were on point and explained the entire process and guided us through a very stressful situation. Due to a frozen pipe, our house flooded...within 10 hours Paul and his mitigation team were at our house assessing the damage and utilizing their water cleanup equipment. They never left us guessing or questioning our next step. Truly a FIVE STAR experience! We were lucky to have such a fine company in our corner.

I highly recommend Seltser & Goldstein Public Adjuster - in particular, kudos to Mr. Paul Le. As a homeowner experiencing for the first time, a fire damage to the property by one of the tenants, there were so many unknowns and anxieties related to the insurance & subsequent rehabilitation processes. Seeking the assistance from a Public Adjuster such as Seltser & Goldstein was definitely a good decision. What made it truly exceptional, was the unparalleled customer service provided by Mr. Paul Le in Seltser & Goldstein, which had given me assurances and good pieces of mind on several occasions, wading through and learning the labyrinth processes to get my property on track. Special Thanks also go to the team, especially TJ, Francisco, and Tanya, in easing me a smooth process out of such a complex situation, had I ended up to navigate the processes on my own.

Hiring Seltser & Goldstein is the best decision I ever made. I tried to handle my claim on my own after a pipe burst and ruined a lot of my personal items in my home, but the insurance company was unreasonable. Kyrie handled my contents claim and she took the time to sit down and explain everything to me and the settlement she got me exceeded expectations.

I suffered a house fire in 2020. Going through something like this is absolutely awful, especially when you start thinking of the things you lost. Josh made me worry free after meeting with him and he literally took care of everything, even things you would never think of. He managed everything flawlessly. I can express enough how awesome this guy is. If you're looking for a public adjuster that's going to do his absolute best, look no further.

My husband & i had to deal with our house having a major fire that destroyed most of the entire house. Gary & Kyrie were the most helpful insurance adjustors we could have ever asked for! They fought for US and explained everything the whole way through. Seriously went way way over expectation and 100% of the time responded immediately. Even when we were crazed and so stressed they did everything for us. They have been so supportive of getting our Contractor Cathy Crist everything she needs as well. I highly highly recommend Seltser & Goldstein- specifically Gary & Kyrie!!Lisa & Howard Kesselman.
