Glendale, CA
Robert Cooper, Public Aduster, & Avner Gat, Inc. I hired Robert because of his experience with State Farm. Originally I was concerned that he was too nice; but when it counted, he stepped up and got us a larger settlement than we would have gotten on our own. The reports he had me pay for proved to be of great value. In the end, he exceeded my expectations ! I would gladly recommend him!
Hidden Hills, CA
Eight months ago, our home suffered severe water damage. While the loss was covered by insurance, navigating the complex process–coordinating with the mitigation company, insurance adjusters, general contractors, rental housing, and reconstruction–quickly became overwhelming. After carefully vetting several public adjusters, we chose Avner Gat, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our representative, Gary Weinzimer, was professional, courteous, responsive, and highly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He guided us step by step, advocated on our behalf, and ensured our interests were protected during what felt like a long and difficult journey. Thanks to Gary and Avner Gat, we were able to secure a fair outcome from the insurance company and move forward with confidence. We are now finally back in our beautiful home, and we truly believe we would not have achieved this result without their expertise and support. I highly recommend Gary Weinzimer and the team at Avner Gat to anyone facing a similar situation. Their dedication and professionalism made an incredibly challenging experience much more manageable.

I want to share my personal experience with Gary, who handled my claim as my private Public Adjuster while working with Avner Gat, Inc. I am truly impressed. From the moment Gary took over my case, everything was under control. His level of care, communication, effort, and attention to detail was outstanding. He explained the process clearly, stayed on top of every detail, and made sure nothing was missed. As a contractor, I’ve been recommending Avner Gat, Inc. to my customers for years–but this was my first time dealing with an insurance claim personally. After going through this experience myself, I can honestly say I couldn’t be more satisfied. This recommendation now comes from personal experience, not just professional trust. Gary provided real peace of mind and fought to secure the coverage I needed so I could put my home back together–quickly and properly. That alone says everything. If you’re looking for a Public Adjuster you can truly trust, Gary with Anver Gat Inc, is the real deal. I can’t thank you enough.

Santa Clarita, CA
I was fortunate to have found the Avner Gat firm to be my Public Insurance Adjuster. My initial inquiry was answered right away in a timely manner, and my adjuster Jeff Janes is great! Jeff really understands the insurance adjusting process, clearly explained how it all works, kept me updated all along, and most importantly got me a great monetary result! Kudos and THANK YOU to everyone at Avner Gat!
Orange County, CA
One of the best decisions I’ve ever made in choosing a vendor. We had a leak in a rental property and right from the start, the insurance company was giving us the runaround. We reached out to Avner Gat and specifically asked for Jeff Janes (he helped a client of mine and they were VERY happy). The insurance company initially gave us a very low offer settlement and assigned us to an uncooperative claims adjuster that would initially deny most everything, even though the Department of Insurance requires them to cover it and so does their own policy terms. Jeff handled them like an attorney would. He was thorough and diligent throughout every step of the process. We ended up getting a final settlement that was almost seven times the initial offer! Avner Gat is well worth their fee and they easily made up for it and then some! I am planning on recommending them to all my clients, friends and family. Thank you Jeff!
Cerritos, CA
We contacted Doug Meister at Avner Gat when we felt like the major water damage to our home from a burst pipe wasn’t getting the full attention it deserved by our insurance company. Having Doug completely take over the management of our insurance claim was a huge relief, for he handled every aspect of the claim from the jump- from dealing with all communications with our insurance adjuster, to informing us of the benefits of the “loss of use” aspects of our policy, to even aiding in tracking down an abatement company for lead tile removal. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Doug and Avner for anyone dealing with these sorts of unfortunate homeowner situations.
Long Beach, CA
I can’t say enough good things about my experience working with & receiving guidance from Cindy Gallo from Avner Gat Inc! After a sudden water damage issue in my home, I was feeling overwhelmed as you can imagine. That’s when I turned to Cindy and I’m so grateful I did.
Not only is she an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled professional, but she’s also someone I trust deeply. She is the kind of person that is patient, clear, and proactive. Cindy had the level of care and confidence that immediately put me as ease. Her genuine support and professionalism made a stressful situation so much more manageable.
I wholeheartedly recommend Cindy Gallo to anyone.
Los Angeles, CA
I really appreciated Bryan’s great insights when dealing with our water damage this year! He came to our house, was very patient, and answered all my different questions which helped me understand the whole process better. I wish I had engaged with him sooner to ensure I was getting as much as I was entitled to.
Pasadena, CA
I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible assistance provided by Avner Gat during my recent insurance claim with Allstate! In 35 years I never had a claim until severe water damage during a storm caused significant damage to my home. I contacted Avner Gat after reading some reviews on Yelp and a meeting was set up. I met with Kathryn Gantt and after our meeting I felt at ease. She explained everything about the process in dealing with the insurance, was incredibly professional, knowledgeable! Avner Gat came to my rescue! Kathryn was assigned as my Public Adjuster and she worked tirelessly to negotiate with the insurance on my behalf! All the troubles and procedures were handled in a very professional manner. The communication was top-notch, keeping me informed at every step of the process!
Los Angeles, CA
Avner Gat helped us fight our insurance company and helped recover damage cost due to a water leak. Let me start by saying these folks are awesome! I worked with Jeff Janes who was heaven sent. This gentleman was very professional and very knowledgeable. Mr. Janes would always take the time to explain next steps and would always be available for additional questions. I rate this company and Mr. Janes an A++ and I would highly highly recommend them! Thank you Avner Gat for everything!
