We exhibited for the first time at the Pacific Coast Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (PCAPIA) in Marina Del Rey in November. Andrea, Nancy and Lexi attended and it was a great opportunity for us to better understand the nature of this industry whereby insurance adjusters advocate for their clients in complex loss settlements. We were grateful to be able to highlight our services and it was a pleasure to meet so many professionals dedicated to excellence in the claims process.
