Our goal is to become an extension of your operation by developing a long lasting partnership with your company or agency.

In 1996 we started a locally owned, independent claims adjusting firm and set out with a goal of establishing a company of knowledgeable and professional people. In addition, we committed ourselves to providing excellent and complete independent claims adjusting services for property/casualty insurers and third party claims administration services for self-funded programs. With the assistance of our customers, we will strive to maintain these goals and commitments. We will continue building strong relationships with our customers. Internally, the personal and professional development of our employees is encouraged through continued education and involvement in industry related organizations.
