Ken D. Lollar
Florida Licensed & Bonded Public Adjuster
Ken is an industry-leading insurance adjuster of 10+ years, and a lifelong entrepreneur with a strong track record of serving people and solving problems - in both business to business and business to consumer endeavors.
In his decade plus as an adjuster, Ken has aggressively worked every major storm event in the continental United States. His expertise in adjusting is influenced by the unique perspective he brings – including the following:
Having been a Licensed Contractor
Representing insurance carriers as an Adjuster
Being licensed and bonded as a Florida Public Adjuster to represent the interest of the insured, his clients
Property damage assessment is an art, not a science, and is therefore largely a judgement call. Ken uses a variety of strategies to help ensure that the judgement falls in the favor of those he represents. Public Adjusters typically recover a settlement 25% - 45% greater than claims settled without representation. Ken delivers on this by understanding construction components, having the ability to legally negotiate more line items into a settlement and to submit supplements for additional materials.
Ken is husband to Lindy, and father to two beautiful daughters.

Kevin P. Cote
Florida Public Adjuster
Kevin offers 13+ years of experience in the claim processing field - handling residential and small commercial claims for both Catastrophe and Daily Assignments. He is widely experienced in dealing with the insurance carriers and very well respected within the industry. In addition to being a successful negotiator, one of his strongest assets is his excellent customer service. He develops relationships with his clients and keeps them up to date on the various stages of their claim.
Kevin has 11+ years of experience as a Self Employed Florida Contractor, providing service in the residential/commercial/new construction/remodel market. His background as a contractor gives him an advantage in identifying the cause of damage and correctly returning his clients to a pre-loss condition.
.
Due to the ever-changing landscape within the insurance claim industry, it has become increasingly difficult for a policyholder to process his/her own claim, let alone get a fair and equitable settlement. As a Public Adjuster, Kevin’s understanding of the various insurance policies, coupled with his ability to properly document a loss, provides his clients with a more favorable outcome that averages 50% to 400% percent more than the initial claim settlement.
.
Public Adjusting is a public service. It’s a happy day for Kevin when a client is awarded what they truly deserve. Kevin, or “Otis” as he is known by his friends, resides in Pensacola, FL with his wife, Jihan, and two teenage children, Parker and Kayla.
