We hired Jeremy from CMA in Sept 2018 when we had our house fire in Aug of 2018. They were able to get us a good amount back to fix our house and they helped us every step of the way. It was a pleasure working with them.
I hired CMA when I thought my insurance gave me a low ball estimate. The entire CMA Group worked hard to get the money I needed to fix my home after a storm and were very helpful answering all of my questions. Thanks for all of your hard work with my process! I highly recommend CMA & truly thankful for your help!
Without CMA my family most likely would have had our claim denied and possibly been charged with fraud! It's a very difficult and worrisome process but went smooth because we had CMA.
My business means everything to our family and getting back up and running quickly was all I could think of. CMA did that and more and we are very grateful for that!
