Pam Pujals Tampa, FL January 28, 2011 Re: Rick Tutwiler, Tutwiler Public Adjusters Dear Fellow Frustrated Insurance Claimant: I truly commiserate with your frustration in dealing with your Insurance Company. On January 5, 2010 as a result of replacing a faucet I had a flood in my home. At first I was impressed by how quickly the Insurance Company sent out an adjuster, provided an estimate and check. It went all downhill from there since the funds provided were insufficient to put my house back in order. We had an unusual circumstance where the previous owners installed tile over parquet flooring and they would not pay to have the parquet replaced. Their stance was the tile was damaged not the parquet and mine was that the house did not have to be dried out for 5 days because of wet tile. In addition no flooring contractor would provide a warranty on new flooring if it was installed over the parquet. Obviously I did not find this acceptable. The battle ensued to get my house back in order. The Insurance Company sent their flooring experts, independent adjustors and no surprise they all agreed with each other. Everything with the Insurance Company took 10 days to three weeks and as the months dragged on a neighbor mentioned hiring a Public Adjuster and we hired Rick in August. We wish we had known earlier but once Rick assessed the situation he got right to work. To my amazement he was actually able to speak to the supervisor handling the claim and have them return his calls. Needless to say they never returned mine. Rick made quick order of the situation and prepared a detailed estimate, unfortunately the Insurance Company stalled and denied receiving materials and tried to stonewall. Rick wouldn’t stand for it and eventually they complied with the requests for another adjuster. Their new adjuster appeared to be on track with our estimate but then backed off. We went into appraisal with an umpire and Rick’s professional manner and detailed presentation of the case history resulted in our receiving more money than the Insurance Company put on the table. Rick was our savior in an extremely stressful situation and we would not have received the final settlement amount without him. I hope that I never have to use his services again but I can guarantee if I ever have an insurance claim he will be the first person I call. You can’t go wrong with hiring Rick to resolve your claim.

I would like to thank Rick for helping me through the process during our families loss. My sister experienced a huge fire loss where the entire top portion of her home burned down. My sister is a single mother with a child in college and one in middle school. The loss happened during Thanksgiving Week 2013 and the insurance company was taking a long time to respond and pay out on claims. Rick immediately was able to quickly get the story on the local news and internet. Due to this loss, my sister and her family experienced alot of grief. Rick made the transition seamless when I stepped in to handle any needs for my sister. He assisted us in getting paid what was due to my sister. Rick seems very knowledgeable in this field. In addition, he is patient and responds quickly. Rick goes above and beyond in his work and is empathetic to his clients on a business and personal level. Rick did promise my 12 year old niece would meet Justin Bieber one day. That is the only thing we are waiting on. Ha Ha just kidding...But glad Rick is also familiar with our families interests. Keeps him personable.

Outstanding service, support and results from Kevin Leisure at Tutwiler & Associates. Anyone that is considering hiring a public adjuster to help with their property damage claim should not hesitate to give Kevin a call. From my initial contact with Kevin until the moment of reaching a favorable settlement for the damage to our property, Kevin instilled trust and confidence and demonstrated his commitment to be an effective advocate for us and our claim. Kevin is very knowledgeable, informative, responsive and a pleasure to work with - we could not be more pleased with the experience we had and the result we got.

Rick, Thank you for taking time to call me today. I called the Insurance company claims representative and told them that I had spoken with you and that you were willing to help. I asked if they would work with me or did I need to hire you. They called me back within a few hours and said that they were willing to put me into temporary housing for a reasonable time. It was a complete 180 degree turn about from their previous decision. Thank you so much. Sincerely, James Thomason

Mike Stabile’s services were crucial to the settlement of my claim. Mike is incredibly knowledgeable, but more importantly his dedication, integrity, work ethic, and compassion towards the loss I suffered are what set him far apart. His outstanding negotiating skills ensured that I received the maximum amount I was entitled to. Thank you Mike!

Rick was very professional and helpful in helping me and wife recover the money that was owed to us after an insurance claim. It was nice to know that I had someone I could count on in order to be sure that the insurance company paid all of the monies that were due to us after our unfortunate accident at our house.

Tutwiler handled my property insurance claim professionally and was able to negotiate a fair settlement with my insurance company. They understood my policy, took care of the details and seemed to have the respect of the insurance adjuster. If you have an insurance claim, these are the guys to call.
