Oftentimes, life insurance is required for divorcees. I represent dozens of insurance companies and will find the best product at the most competitive price available. Health insurance is another area post-divorce where clients often require my services. Once the divorce is final, the former spouse can no longer stay on their ex-partners plan as a dependent. I will help you find a plan that is right for you.

WHY HIRE A PUBLIC ADJUSTER?

Every property owner has the potential to face an insurance nightmare!

When a property owner suffers a serious but partial loss of contents and structure, the services of a competent Public Adjuster is almost mandatory for you to get a fair and full settlement. It is the partial loss that is so very difficult to establish, manage, and present to the insurance company and finalize.
