About Long Island Public Adjusters
When your home or business is damaged, you shouldn't have to fight your insurance company alone—or leave money on the table because the process is confusing, slow, or stacked against you.
Long Island Public Adjusters is led by founder Kevin Godfrey, a licensed public adjuster with 22+ years in the insurance industry. After working catastrophe and large-loss claims for major carriers, Kevin now uses that experience to advocate for Long Island policyholders—documenting damages, building defensible scopes, and negotiating for fair settlements across Nassau and Suffolk County.
Meet Kevin Godfrey
Founder Kevin Godfrey brings 22+ years in the insurance industry to every claim we handle. Kevin began his career in 2005 with Pilot Catastrophe, Inc., working national catastrophe claims throughout the Southeast for major carriers including Allstate, State Farm, and Travelers.
He later joined Nationwide Insurance as a Large Loss Specialty II adjuster for Downstate New York, where he handled over $10M in large-loss payouts per month. Along the way, he managed the National Vendor list and oversaw new-hire training for Xactimate across the Northeast—giving him deep insight into how losses are estimated, documented, and paid.
Over the course of his career, Kevin has personally settled 10,000+ insurance claims representing more than $1B in verified damages, including complex losses from water damage and burst pipes to house fires, hail storms, and earthquakes.
"Every claim is different, but our mission is always the same: maximize clarity, minimize stress, and pursue the full, justified value of your loss."

Our Mission
Today, we use that carrier-side experience for one purpose: to advocate for policyholders.

Core Values of Long Island Public Adjusters
These principles guide every claim we handle across Nassau County and Suffolk County.
Advocacy
We represent policyholders across Long Island—never the insurance company. Our public adjusters take over the claim process, build the scope, and negotiate so your settlement reflects the full value of covered damage.
Whether you need help with a water damage claim, fire loss, or storm damage, we respond within 24 hours and handle all insurer communications on your behalf.
Integrity
Clear, honest guidance from day one. You will always know what we are doing, why we are doing it, and where your claim stands—whether it is a water damage, fire, or storm loss in Nassau or Suffolk County.
No hidden fees, no surprises. Our public adjusting fees are explained upfront, and we only get paid when you receive a settlement. See our FAQ page for complete details.
