Florida Allstar Public Adjusting has been fighting insurers for South Florida policyholders since 2007. Founder Alan Himmel brings nearly two decades in the insurance claims industry and a credential stack most adjusters cannot match: licensed Public Adjuster in both Florida (P094378) and Georgia, plus Florida-licensed Mold Remediator and Mold Assessor certifications. That combination matters on water and mold losses, where knowing exactly how remediation is scoped and priced is the difference between a token check and a full rebuild.
Based in Weston and available 24/7 for emergencies, the firm handles the full range of property claims: water and roof leaks, fire and smoke, hurricane and windstorm, mold, flood, and business interruption, residential and commercial alike. Himmel is a member of FAPIA, the Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters, and has been cited as an insurance expert by MarketWatch, MoneyGeek, and Better Homes & Gardens. The stated mission is blunt: obtain the highest possible settlement for every client and shield policyholders from delayed or unfair carrier tactics.
The published results back up the pitch. The firm's claim-results page documents recoveries across the storms that battered Florida: $3.9 million across 37 Hurricane Michael claims in the Panama City area, $850,000 on a commercial fire in West Palm Beach, and $161,000 on a Hurricane Irma roof-and-interior loss in Pembroke Pines. Several results show the carrier's opening offer next to the final number, including $57,000 recovered against a $5,000 offer and $110,000 recovered against a $3,500 offer.
A public adjuster is the only kind of adjuster licensed to work for you, the policyholder — not the insurance company. They document the loss, build a detailed scope and estimate, read the policy for coverage you may have missed, and negotiate the payout with the carrier, working on a percentage of what you recover.
A public adjuster is not a contractor and not an attorney: they cannot make repairs, file suit, or give legal advice. See what a public adjuster actually does and when to hire one.
Florida caps a public adjuster's fee at 20% of the claim payment, dropping to 10% for claims from a declared state of emergency (Fla. Stat. § 626.854). The fee applies only to what the insurer pays — it may not be charged on your deductible.

Get the exact legal name and license (or NPN) number, then confirm an active public adjuster license in the state where your property sits. Do it on the official roster — never take the number on a business card at face value.
Florida Department of Financial Services licensee search →A public adjuster is the right call when the carrier agrees the loss is covered but the check is too low. When the carrier denies coverage outright, alleges misrepresentation, sits on the claim past the statutory deadlines, or acts in bad faith, that is legal territory a public adjuster cannot enter.
If your claim was denied rather than merely underpaid, start with a free attorney review — see public adjuster vs. attorney, why claims get denied, and the deadlines that protect your rights.
