Your carrier's adjuster represents your carrier. A public adjuster represents you. We handle the documentation, the estimate, and all carrier communication so you have a professional advocate who has no financial incentive to minimize your loss. What makes Equitas different is that William came from the carrier side. He knows exactly how carrier adjusters scope claims, and he builds files that are specifically harder to argue against.

Public adjusting in Louisiana is regulated under RS 22:1701 et seq. Our fee structure is disclosed in writing before any engagement begins. You'll know the full terms before you sign. For Demand Estimates, appraisal, and umpire services, fees are flat or quoted upfront and agreed to in advance. The initial claim review is always free.

In many cases, no. Settled claims can often be supplemented when new or previously undocumented damage is identified. Denied claims can sometimes be reopened under certain conditions. The more time that passes, the fewer options are available, so the best thing to do is call us now. The first conversation is free and takes 10 minutes.

Yes. We work directly with plaintiff attorneys on appraisal representation, Demand Estimates, and claims file review. If you have a client whose claim has reached an impasse, we can serve as their named appraiser, build the documented basis for invoking appraisal, or assist with the underlying file review.

We are licensed and active throughout Louisiana including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Shreveport, Lake Charles, Houma, Thibodaux, Slidell, and all surrounding parishes. For appraisal and umpire engagements, we also accept assignments in Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.

OnRecord is a professional property documentation service that creates a timestamped baseline of your home's condition before a claim ever occurs. Every file includes a Hover 2D exterior measurement report, an iGUIDE 3D LiDAR walkthrough of every interior room, aerial roof measurements, and full photo documentation of the entire property. You receive your complete OnRecord packet, and the original file stays with us under licensed custody with priority response when a loss occurs. In Louisiana, where nearly half of all claims close without payment, the homeowners who have a documented baseline before a loss are in a fundamentally different position than those who don't. Starting at $695. See OnRecord packages →
