What We Do

Larry’s experience is highly respected, and he has been sought out as an industry witness, testifying in several successful trials involving fraud, subrogation, and arbitration. He is also active in industry affairs, participating in licensing board meetings and speaking out on important industry matters.

Our staff’s experience will ensure you get a thorough examination of every claim, proper appraisal, total loss report, investigation, and appraisal report at a reasonable cost. Every automobile damage appraisal and property damage claim adjustment assignment processed by Metropolitan’s staff benefits from our quality control experience. Each claim is reviewed by our Quality Control team before it is submitted to the customer.

Larry’s philosophy is that Metropolitan Appraisal Services, Corp. is large enough to accommodate any company’s every need and small enough that he can personally see every claim before it leaves his office. Can any of the so-called “National” services say that? We think not.
