David Kanter Public Adjuster

David Kanter learned the insurance business from the inside. He started in 2005 and spent nearly two decades working as a field adjuster, desk adjuster, estimator, appraiser, and umpire before opening his own firm in 2019. Originally trained by the insurance companies themselves, he knows firsthand the tactics carriers use to underpay and deny, and now he uses that knowledge for policyholders instead.

Based in Boca Raton, Kanter is a licensed Florida public adjuster who is also qualified as an appraiser and umpire, a rare combination that lets him work claims at every stage of a dispute. He serves Palm Beach and Broward Counties, including Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Pompano Beach, and Deerfield Beach, on a straight contingency: no settlement, no fee.

The firm handles water damage, hurricane and wind damage, roof leaks, plumbing leaks, mold, fire and smoke, and the denied and underpaid claims that carriers hope homeowners will simply accept. Kanter is supported by a team that pairs construction and estimating know-how with insider carrier experience, including an estimator fluent in Xactimate and a former major-carrier employee who knows how the other side thinks.

A public adjuster is the only kind of adjuster licensed to work for you, the policyholder, not the insurance company. They document the loss, build a detailed scope and estimate, read the policy for coverage you may have missed, and negotiate the payout with the carrier, working on a percentage of what you recover.

A public adjuster is not a contractor and not an attorney: they cannot make repairs, file suit, or give legal advice. See what a public adjuster actually does and when to hire one.

Get the exact legal name and license (or NPN) number, then confirm an active public adjuster license in the state where your property sits. Do it on the official roster, never take the number on a business card at face value.

A public adjuster is the right call when the carrier agrees the loss is covered but the check is too low. When the carrier denies coverage outright, alleges misrepresentation, sits on the claim past the statutory deadlines, or acts in bad faith, that is legal territory a public adjuster cannot enter.

If your claim was denied rather than merely underpaid, start with a free attorney review; see public adjuster vs. attorney, why claims get denied, and the deadlines that protect your rights.
