A public adjuster represents you, the policyholder—not the insurance company. We manage your claim, document losses, negotiate with insurers, and help you recover the maximum benefits allowed under your policy.
Ideally, as soon as you experience damage. We ensure nothing is overlooked and handle the claim from day one. But we can also step in mid-claim or after a denial to help you regain control and recover what you’re owed.
While we specialize in large-loss fire claims, we also support clients with smoke damage, water intrusion, storm-related loss, and denied or underpaid claims—especially in high-value residential properties.
We serve clients in Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, and surrounding regions across Southern California—especially fire-prone or recently impacted neighborhoods.
There are no upfront fees. Chaplin Public Adjusting works on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid when you do. Our fee is a small percentage of the final settlement.
