How Unified Public Advocacy can help
Unified Public Advocacy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public adjusting firm that represents property and business owners — not insurance companies. When a claim is disputed, underpaid, or built from a single insurer inspection, Unified Public Advocacy independently documents the loss, reads the policy, and re-presents the claim with the evidence to support it.
Unified Public Advocacy never takes a penny out of a property or business owner's pocket — the fee is covered by the overhead and profit built into the insurance settlement itself. If your property sustained damage in this event, you can reach Unified Public Advocacy at 1-855-944-3473.
