About ADVOCATE CLAIMS PUBLIC ADJUSTERS
Advocate Claims Public Adjusters provides property damage insurance claim assistance to policyholders in South Florida. The work is representing the policyholder rather than the insurance company. Supported claim types include water, mold, fire, hurricane and other wind-related damage, vandalism, and theft. The firm’s client groups include residential property owners, businesses, condominium owners, and homeowners’ or condominium associations. The service offering also includes assistance with new or existing claims, insurance appraisal, and disputes involving property damage claims. For someone deciding whether to seek help, a useful starting point is to identify the damage, gather the claim correspondence and policy documents available, and write down any unresolved questions. Those preparation steps are general advice, not a statement about how the firm handles an individual case.

Prepare a clear claim picture
As a general preparation step, make a simple timeline: when the damage was noticed, what areas or belongings were affected, and what steps have already been taken to prevent further damage. Keep dated photos or videos, repair estimates, receipts, and messages from the insurer together. Separate observed damage from assumptions about its cause; that distinction can help keep later discussions focused on what is documented.
Choose the right kind of claim assistance
Think about where the main difficulty lies. A new claim, a disagreement over damage, a prior claim that may need another look, and an appraisal matter are different situations. Before seeking assistance, write down what outcome or decision is unclear and collect the insurer’s estimate or letters if available. That preparation can help a policyholder explain the issue without assuming that every dispute calls for the same service.
Consider who owns or manages the property
A claim involving a home, commercial building, condominium unit, or association property may involve different records and decision-makers. For an association matter, a general preparation step is to identify the affected shared areas, gather relevant meeting or maintenance records, and clarify who is authorized to discuss the claim. For a business property, keep damage documentation distinct from records about ordinary operations.

Questions about ADVOCATE CLAIMS PUBLIC ADJUSTERS
What does a public adjuster do?
A public adjuster represents the policyholder in a property damage insurance claim. This differs from an adjuster working for the insurance company, so ask what parts of the claim the adjuster would handle and what information they would need to review.
What kinds of property damage claims are supported?
Supported claim types include water, mold, fire, hurricane, windstorm, tornado, hail, vandalism, and theft-related property damage. The cause and extent of damage can affect how a policy applies, so keep photographs, repair records, and insurer correspondence together when possible.
Can I ask for help with a claim that was already filed or denied?
The services include assistance with both new and reopened property claims, as well as denied-claim matters. Keep any prior claim number, decision letters, estimates, and supporting photographs available when seeking help with an existing claim.
Does the service include condominium and business property claims?
Yes. Residential, commercial, condominium, and homeowners’ or condominium association claims are among the service types. For a shared property claim, it may help to gather the association’s damage records and relevant communications alongside the insurance documents.
Is insurance appraisal available for a claim dispute?
Insurance appraisal services are available for property damage claim disputes. Appraisal is a distinct service from general claim assistance, so ask whether it fits the specific disagreement and what documents would be relevant.
