Southwest Florida's Trusted Firm
SWFL Public Adjusters is a locally owned firm based in Naples, FL, founded by Andrea Cannizzaro. We’re here for one reason—to make sure homeowners don’t get taken advantage of during the insurance claim process.
After seeing firsthand how confusing and frustrating claims can be, Andrea built this company to give policyholders someone in their corner. From the first inspection to the final settlement, we handle the entire process so you don’t have to deal with the back-and-forth, delays, or low offers from the insurance company.
Every claim is different, but the goal is always the same: maximize your payout and make the process as stress-free as possible.
As a member of FAPIA and an experienced public adjuster, Andrea takes pride in being responsive, detail-oriented, and willing to go the extra mile for every client. When you work with SWFL Public Adjusters, you’re not just another claim—you’re a priority.

I recently worked with Andrea from SWFL Public Adjusters, and he was an absolute game-changer for my insurance claim. He negotiated a significantly higher settlement from my insurance company than what they initially offered—well worth it! Andrea walked me through every step of the process in a clear, straightforward way, making what could have been a stressful and confusing experience much easier to handle. He always prioritized my best interests, communicated promptly, and fought hard to get me what I was entitled to.

My insurance company offered me a paltry amount at first. Andrea did a walk thru wrote up his estimate and presented to my insurance company. He was diligent and relentless with the insurance company to get a fair and equitable amount for our damages. I would highly recommend him for work on a claim again.Posted on Elodie ChatelainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Andre was the nicest and best and most professional public adjuster that I have met in 21 years in Florida since hurricane Charley in 2004. He was able to help a 78 year old disabled recent widow finally get her fair settlement a couple of weeks ago after fighting with her insurance company for over 2 years and had her in the hospital once and possibly contributed to her husband's death. You can depend on Andre at SW Florida Public Adjusters. Thank you, Andre for helping this lady finally get her home back together. You're the Best! Barry Rosenberg for Mrs. Cheryl Tracy.Posted on Bill StewartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andrea professionally advised me about strengths and weaknesses of my insurance claim. He handled all communications with the insurance claim filing, mediation and final negotiation with the insurance company, resulting in a favorable settlement for me. I would engage Andrea again for any insurance claim I may need to file in the future.Posted on Frank CioffiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very fast and reliable service. I Just deposited the settlement check. Andrea Went above and beyond. One night he had 2 wait for over 2 hrs++ for the Ins adjuster. Instead of rescheduling he waited for ins adjuster's arrival. And he explains everything in detail as to length of time till final check, Etc. I recommend them and would use the the next time something happens. I did nothing he was a great go between!

- Frequently Asked Questions
Need Help Understanding Your Claim?
Find clear answers to the most common questions about public adjusting, insurance claims, and how we help you get the settlement you deserve.
Q1. How much does a public adjuster cost?
Public adjusters typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. They receive a percentage (usually 10-20%) of the final settlement amount. If no settlement is secured, you pay nothing—there’s no financial risk involved for you.
Q2. How do I file a claim?
Call your insurance company’s claims department—or let us handle it for you. We’ll file your claim the right way and set it up for the best possible outcome.
Q3. How long does the claims process take with a public adjuster?
The length of time varies depending on the complexity of your claim. However, public adjusters streamline the process, helping to expedite the claim and reduce delays. On average, it can take weeks to months or years to resolve claims, but a public adjuster helps ensure the process moves as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Q4. How do I know if I need a public adjuster?
Your insurance company has its own adjusters and representatives looking out for their interests—why not have someone in your corner? SWFL Public Adjusters works for you to make sure your claim is handled properly and you’re paid fairly.
Q5. Can I handle my claim without a public adjuster?
It’s best to hire a public adjuster as early as possible—ideally before filing your claim. This ensures everything is documented properly from the start. However, we can step in at any stage, even if your claim has already been filed, underpaid, or denied.
Q6. What should I do immediately after damage occurs?
Ensure safety first, then document the damage with photos and videos. If you can, take steps to prevent further damage. Before moving forward, contact SWFL Public Adjusters—we’ll help you handle the claim the right way from the start.
Q7. What if my damage seems minor?
Even small damage can lead to bigger issues like hidden water intrusion, mold, or structural problems. It’s always best to have it inspected—what looks minor could turn into a much larger claim.
