Regardless of whether your loss is residential or commercial, M. Miller & Son has the expertise that makes the difference between your receiving the settlement that your insurance company views as fair and your being awarded the maximum amount to which your policy entitles you.  Because your carrier has its own best interests in mind – not yours – there can be a large discrepancy between the two amounts.  M. Miller & Son works solely as your advocate and, as such, is focused exclusively on your best interests.  The firm has been successful in negotiating settlements for its clients that have, on average, been 20%-30% higher than what the insurance carrier originally offered.
