Helping people has always been part of my life. From spending 12 years as a firefighter to now assisting property owners in proper insurance settlements, adding value to the lives of other people has always been the most important thing I can do. This attitude, and the culture it encourages throughout C3 Group staff, has helped my company, which began in 2012, become the 214th fastest growing company in the entire United States.
Thinking and approaching problems differently, making sure to always respect the positions and opinions of those we face, and a company-wide goal of putting the needs of our clients before our own paycheck has paid off. Way too many public adjusters take an immediate stance of an adversary to those they negotiate against. This attitude forces many claims into litigation, mediation, and appraisal thus forcing their clients into spending money that may not have been needed had their adjuster built mutually respectful relationships with the adjusters they face. We pride ourselves on our name, resources, services, relationships, and innovation within the industry.
I look forward to doing everything possible in making sure C3 can save you time and energy, assess roadblocks, and create a path towards successfully managing and settling your insurance claim.
