Hancin Consulting

For law firms handling property insurance claims

Send us the claim file. We will tell you what the estimate missed.

Upload the policy, the carrier estimate, the reports and the photographs. We review the scope line by line, document every item the estimate does not cover, and return a revised estimate your firm can put in front of an adjuster.

No intake form. Upload what you have and we work from that.

It is two steps

That is the whole thing. Everything between them is our problem, not your firm's.

  1. 1

    Upload the case file

    Drag in whatever you have. Policy, estimates, reports, correspondence, photographs. You do not need to name, sort or label any of it, and there is no intake form to fill in.

  2. 2

    Receive the revised estimate

    A revised estimate and a comparison report showing the original figure, the revised figure, and the evidence behind every difference between them.

We will come back to you once, with a short summary to confirm we read the claim correctly, and again only if something material is missing.

What happens in between

Simple for your firm is not the same as quick. Between those two steps every document gets read properly.

The claim file

Every document is read and the claim details are pulled out of them with the page and the wording they came from. Where two documents disagree, we say so rather than pick one.

The photographs

Every photograph is examined for building components and visible damage. Conditions are recorded as what they are, separating what is clearly visible from what merely warrants an inspection.

The policy

The policy and declarations are read alongside the estimate, so the scope is assessed against the coverage that was actually in force on the date of loss.

Then a person

Mike Hancin reviews the file and every line of the proposed estimate. Nothing reaches your firm until he has approved it. There is no automatic output.

Why firms use us

No data entry for your staff

Your team uploads the file as it sits. Claim number, carrier, date of loss, deductible and the original estimate total are read out of the documents. Your paralegal confirms a short summary instead of retyping a claim.

A number you can defend

Every line we add points back to the page, photograph or policy provision it came from. When the other side asks where a figure came from, the answer is in the report.

Reviewed by a person

Software organizes the file and drafts the scope. Nothing reaches your firm until Mike Hancin has reviewed it, corrected it and approved it.

One place for the whole matter

Status, requested documents, delivered estimates and the outcome you report back all live on the same claim, while the matter is open and after it closes.

What we review

Send whatever exists. A thin file still gets a review, and we will tell you exactly what would strengthen it.

Who reviews your claim

Awaiting Mike's biography.

This section needs, in his own words: years in property claims estimating, the carriers and loss types he has worked, any licences or certifications with their numbers, and a professional photograph.

Confidentiality and security

  • Every claim is scoped to the firm that uploaded it. One firm cannot see another firm's matters, and access is derived from the signed-in account rather than from anything the browser sends.
  • Uploaded files are held in private cloud storage. They are never publicly readable, and downloads use links that expire.
  • Uploaded files are never modified. The original estimate is preserved intact alongside any revised figure.
  • Traffic is encrypted in transit. Passwords are stored hashed, never in readable form.
  • Material actions on a claim are written to an append-only record, so who did what and when can be reconstructed.
  • We do not sell or share your claim materials, and we do not use them for anything other than performing the review you asked for.

Request an introductory call

Three required fields. We reply personally, usually the same business day.

Please do not send privileged or confidential claim materials through this form. Upload them to the portal once your firm has an account.
