When you hire the firm, you get the partners: Joshua and Hannah Friedman, with Callie Macho on client success. Not a call center.

One office, on purpose
A storefront never inspected a roof. Public adjusting is field work: the evidence that moves a claim lives on your shingles, in your attic and inside the carrier's own paperwork. So the firm keeps a single headquarters in Canton and brings the practice to the loss, which is why these pages lead with a storm record rather than a map pin.
From the HQ it is about ten minutes to Holly Springs, fifteen to Woodstock and Ball Ground, twenty to Acworth, twenty-five to Kennesaw, thirty to Roswell, thirty-five to Alpharetta and about forty-five to the Atlanta perimeter. Tennessee and South Carolina are worked as licensed travel practice, with in-person inspections and a secure login to your live case file so you can watch it move from anywhere.
Not every claim qualifies. Three taps to find out if yours does.
Questions we hear before the first call
Should I call you before I call my insurance company?
Yes. What gets said in the first call shapes the whole claim, so talk to us first. Already filed, or an adjuster already assigned? Call us anyway. We step in at any stage, and the earlier the better.
Do you have an office in my town?
One office, in Canton, Georgia, and it is deliberate. Public adjusting is field work: the evidence that moves a claim is on your roof, in your attic and in the carrier’s own paperwork, none of which is in a storefront. We bring the practice to the loss and every client watches the claim move in a secure portal.
What does it cost, and does it change by state?
The initial claim review is free. If we offer representation, the written agreement states the contingency fee and scope before you decide. South Carolina caps compensation and reimbursement at 10%, bars advance payment, and gives a client five business days to rescind. No recovery, no fee.
Why does every one of these pages have a storm table on it?
Because the most common denial in this business is a causation opinion — wear and tear, not storm damage — and an opinion gets rebutted with a date. Every page reads the NOAA Storm Events Database and the National Weather Service’s local storm reports for that market’s own county, refreshed weekly.
Can my roofer or contractor handle the claim for me?
Claim representation is licensed work. Georgia bars roofing contractors from adjusting claims, Tennessee treats claim negotiation as licensed public-adjuster work, and South Carolina requires a public-adjuster license and bars repair contractors from bypassing that requirement through a power of attorney. That is no knock on your builder. We handle the carrier; they handle the build.
How fast do you move?
The first call is answered by a person and the free case review takes three taps. Near the Canton office, inspections are often same-day; further out they are scheduled around getting there properly rather than quickly.
My town is not on this list. Does that mean you cannot help?
No. The pages here are the markets we have written up, not the limit of where we are licensed. We hold public adjuster licences in Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina. If your property is in any of the three, start the review and we will tell you plainly whether we are the right firm for it.
Every county ledger on this site is refreshed weekly from the NOAA Storm Events Database and the National Weather Service's local storm reports (last: 2026-08-10). Storm reports are point observations from spotters, stations, and survey teams — a sample of what happened, never an inventory. The absence of an entry for a date or place is not evidence that no damage occurred there.
Prefer a quieter first step? Ask us anything, free: a real answer from a licensed adjuster, no strings.
Friedman & Associates are licensed public adjusters in Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina, not attorneys. Our work is the licensed practice of public adjusting: reading the policy, documenting and valuing the loss, negotiating with the carrier, and preparing appraisal. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and litigation, including bad-faith suits, is referred to independent policyholder counsel.
Don't take the carrier's first number. A free, confidential review by licensed public adjusters in Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina. If we take the case, the fee comes from the recovery, never from you.
