Our Customers Say:
“Your team, Ricky, Michelle and Dayle, have made the interruption of our business for 3 months a far easier experience. Ricky has advocated for us and helped us through a thoroughly daunting situation and made it easier for us to focus on getting our business back up and running. I would highly recommend them all and truly appreciate all their hard work and willingness to explain all the intricacies of our claim.”
– Rob Healey
Carriage Town Bar & Grill
“On my Varney St. commercial property, I had a sewer backup. I also had a car fly into my home causing major damage. With each claim, Ricky went through the entire property. He left no stone unturned. He handled everything from meeting with the insurance adjuster to creating the complete quotes, to assisting with contractors to get the work completed. I had everything done in a timely manner to my satisfaction without having to do any of the heavy lifting.”
– Jill S. Henault
Connection Business Solutions
“Diane Swerling and her team were instrumental in putting together our personal property claim after a large fire loss, making sure we got our policy limits. And Michelle Canniff captured all the business we would have done if not for the loss occurring and made sure to maximize our settlement. They made our claims process as painless as possible and helped us get what we deserved from the carrier.”
-Brian Marquis
Helms & Company Inc.
“SMW were instrumental in assisting with the damage that our practice sustained during a fire in July 2022. Michelle was very organized in putting together the Extra Expense claim. She communicated to the carrier any concerns we had along the way and constantly kept us updated during the process. I would strongly recommend the services of SMW and am looking forward to working with the company again for any future needs.”
-Tammy Fitzgerald
Derry Neurological Associates PC
“When a small business is significantly interrupted, like mine was with a building fire, it can be extremely overwhelming to try and navigate everything that must be done to be compensated fairly. The process from start to finish with SMW was smooth, and there was always a clear line of communication with updates, which was always reassuring.”
-Drew Taft
Foot & Ankle Associates of Southern NH
A total loss claim such as ours can be very complicated and time consuming, to say nothing about the frustration that can ensue working directly with the insurer. In particular, working through the business interruption part of our claim was a daunting task, and quite frankly I am not at all confident we would have been able to manage this on our own and receive fair reimbursement for our loss without your representation. Your whole team was very experienced and knowledgeable, and as important, responsive and compassionate.
-Malcolm Perry
DMC Primary Care
While the fire was still smoldering you were on the phone, giving us guidance and perspective on what to do and when to do it. You negotiated and fought hard for us with an insurance company that did not and does not play fair. It was not a fun process and we would have been lost without your knowledge and years of experience.
