My home and all of its contents was either entirely destroyed or damaged beyond repair by the fire…To lose everything is, I think, by any reasonable measure, a deeply traumatic and incredibly stressful event. One is immediately made homeless, stripped of all measure of comfort and placed into what can only be described as extreme financial and emotional uncertainty…Having one’s day-to-day existence, as well as one’s future, thrust into the hands of a major corporation – insurance companies wield enormous control over the claims process – also is extremely stressful…I actually had never heard the term ‘public adjuster’ until I experienced the fire that destroyed my home…The workload, negotiations, process and technical requirements required by insurance companies in order for a homeowner to recoup a loss of this magnitude is nothing short of overwhelming. The average homeowner has neither the professional expertise nor training to work effectively on his/her own behalf to ensure he or she receives the full claim amount due under terms of the insurance policy…I can say with 100% confidence and knowledge that due to Jessica’s professional ability, intellectual capability and tenacity on my behalf, I received insurance reimbursement far beyond what I would have been able to achieve on my own…She was one of the most customer-focused service providers I have ever met…Every email or phone call I made to her was answered promptly. She also was incredibly patient, kind, and considerate to me on a personal level, offering emotional support for an event that was without a doubt one of the most difficult I have ever faced in my life. She was also an aggressive yet entirely ethical advocate on my behalf…As difficult as this process was, there is no doubt in my mind that the process would have lasted much longer and I would have endured much greater personal and financial hardship had I not had Jessica as my advocate. Jessica Bivens literally helped me reestablish my life.
