INSIDE THE FIRM

Why policyholders call The Baldwin Company

The Baldwin Company has stood on the side of the policyholder since 1976, when Wes Baldwin founded the firm he still leads as CEO. Based in Waxhaw, North Carolina, just outside Charlotte, Baldwin brings experience, integrity, and knowledge to property claims, preparing them the right way so clients get a faster, more generous check from their insurer.

Few public adjusters carry Wes Baldwin's credentials. He served as President of the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters in 2003, spent six years as a NAPIA officer and multiple years on its Board of Directors, and was named NAPIA Person of the Year in 2008. He also helped draft and pass public adjuster licensing laws across multiple states, shaping the profession itself.

That reputation carries weight where it counts. Regional and national insurance professionals know the Baldwin name, and many attorneys recommend the firm for property-claim settlements. Baldwin handles residential, commercial, large loss, and hurricane claims across North and South Carolina, covering fire, water, storm, roof collapse, vandalism, theft, mold, and more, and offers appraisal services with no-obligation consultations.

01THE ROLE

What a public adjuster does

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.

02WHAT THEY CAN CHARGE

The fee, in South Carolina

South Carolina; set by contract

South Carolina sets no statutory percentage cap; the fee is negotiated in the written contract, which must carry the disclosures required by S.C. Code Title 38, Chapter 48. Read the percentage and what it applies to before you sign.

Full fee guide → · Read your contract and the current statute.

03VERIFY BEFORE YOU SIGN
CONFIRM THE LICENSE YOURSELF, FREE & PUBLIC

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.

04WHEN IT BECOMES A LEGAL FIGHT

A public adjuster, or an attorney?

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.

LICENSED · SOUTH CAROLINALICENSED · FLORIDA

Halversen Law is a property-insurance law firm licensed in South Carolina and Florida that represents policyholders, never carriers. Since 2008, the firm has taken on denied, underpaid, and delayed claims across the full range of storm and property losses: wind and hurricane damage, water disputes, roof claims, and commercial and condominium losses. Its attorneys spent the early part of their careers defending insurance companies, and now use that inside knowledge of the carrier playbook, how an adjuster builds a denial and where the file is weak, to fight for the policyholder on the other side of it. Cases are handled on contingency: no fee unless you recover.
