I met Pat Garrett a few days after Hurricane Frances did substantial damage to my shopping center on A1A along the Atlantic coast. His demeanor, knowledge and prompt attention to my claim resulted in a Policy Limits settlement. We were very pleased with GCG’s results.

“I would like to personally thank you both for all you’ve done to help us successfully negotiate this insurance maze. Your dogged determination combined with your constant and never ending faith that kept us focused on bringing this claim to a successful closure is so gratefully appreciated You were there fighting for us and holding us up when we had no idea where else to turn. Your expansive knowledge combined with your incredible negotiating skills mixed in with the facts have allowed us to finally close the book on this one.
Initially, we had discussed six months to a year. Who knew years would pass before a final settlement was negotiated? I, for one, cannot thank you enough for all you’ve done. I’ve learned a lot from both of you and your patience and good humor have seen us through some dark days. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say again, Thank you”

“We were not getting anywhere with the case until Mr. Garrett was selected. He was kind, honest and helped me to understand sinkholes. He also located and pointed out problems that I never saw. The result was that I got the settlement that I should have gotten. Without him, that would not have been possible.”
