School Testimonials
Almaden Country School
What can I say except that without your involvement, we would have never collected the proceeds we received for our building, personal property and extra expense claimsￃ???With respect to the personal property claim, you did a superb job in documenting all of the books, school papers, furniture, equipment and supplies that were destroyed. We probably would have accepted a figure substantially less than what your office documented. More importantly, you were able to minimize the co-insurance penalty and depreciation that would have applied had we tried to handle this portion of the loss by ourselvesￃ???Through your efforts, we were able to substantially upgrade the classrooms that were destroyed in the fire. More importantly, we now have four additional classrooms from your negotiation efforts under our extra expense claimￃ???You certainly alleviated a lot of the burden off of my shoulders and my staff in handling this claim.

You did a masterful job interpreting our business interruption, loss of earnings, and contents claims. Without your guidance we would never have realized the financially advantageous resolution that we did. You dealt diplomatically and sensitively with representatives of our insurance company, and you always obtained partial payments when we needed them. You were always available for us and very congenial to work with.

Not only was the loss of the building and contents a tremendous blow to our educational program, the work in preparing our claim for the insurance company was overwhelming. Without your assistance, we would never have reached a fair and satisfactory settlement with the insurance companyￃ???Now, with our final settlement of $2.1 million for the building and contents, or nearly a full $1 million more that we had dared hope for, we are convinced that any school system suffering such a catastrophic loss should make its first phone call to Adjusters International. It was definitely the best step we could have possibly taken.

Your professionalism with our carrier was appreciated and your ability to work with the limited information the school district was able to provide you was amazingￃ???Thank Scott for selling me on the idea to use your firm and thank you all for helping me to look good to my management.

As you know, the fire damage at our Fresno High School was extensive in terms of physical impact, costs ($2.3 million) and subsequent issues related to DSA, mold, and ADA concerns. The Greenspan Adjusters, Inc. did an admirable job in keeping the claim on track and aggressively pursuing all claim dollars we believed were entitled to us....As a result of your personal perseverance, ability to decipher reports and preparation of supporting documentation, you were able to fully and accurately present our claim in the most positive manner. Your attention to detail was key in allowing us to secure an additional $900,000 above what was originally estimated for the claim.

When we hired you after our gymnasium fire loss, we never expected the results we received from your involvement. Coregis Insurance Company initially reserved the loss at $350,000.00. Through your efforts, you were able to settle the gymnasium loss for in excess of $750,000.00 Your firm's ability to inventory and value all of the damaged personal property items belonging to the School District, teachers, and students was invaluable to us. I realize that a school district should have resources at its disposal to handle all situations that might arise. But there is no question in my mind that no one could possibly have someone on staff as skilled and knowledgeable as you and The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International. No one has Ken Crown ! My recommendation to any school administrator facing a large physical loss: Hire The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International. It will be the best decision you will make !

Mr. Crown did an extraordinary job of documenting, keeping all the players informed and securing timely advances to ensure the district had the funds available when required. He is very knowledgeable about facilities, the insurance industry and quality customer service. Mr. Crown has our unqualified recommendation to anyone who is considering his services. He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable and persistent in pursuing a settlement. The settlement resulting from his efforts at the Hoover Middle School could only be considered a complete success.
