I still have been unable to find a firm to help me out on this.

Safeco refuses to remove the criminal PA from my claim. Thankfully they have just been dodging him. He keeps emailing them trying to get more money. They have now thrown me under the bus to him, saying I don't want to do anything else, so he's engaging in communications with me.

At minimum I need to get him off the claim so I can move forward.

At some point I'll go after the stolen money but I can't get my roof done because he'd receive any money left to be sent to me. It would just go to the guys "office".


I guess I just need a demand letter? This is exhausting

When I was working at Bk of America insurance checks in joint names could not be deposited without both parties coming into the bank in person.
This is not helpful at all but the adage You Get What You Pay For really applies to insurance. That's why I ignore every thread slamming USAA for being too expensive.
You need to get off this site and start hunting for a good attorney.

OP said that the adjuster forged everyone's name

I think the point being made was that Bk of America required the named individuals on the check to be physically present in the bank in order to cash. Helps keep forgeries like the OP experienced to a minimum. I'm curious which bank cashed the check.

Exactly. He forged my name, my wife's name, and the lender's. Then signed for himself and cashed it.

His license should be revoked any day, and the arrest should be soonish.

That's good to hear. I assume it is some type of fraud charge. Hope you get everything straightened out in your favor.

Yeah, felony for forgery

I don't have much hope unless there's money left for restitution

If you're in contact with the Tx Dept of Ins, then I would find out who the adjusters GL coverage is with and file a claim.

It at least gets your foot in the door with someone that has deeper pockets than the adjuster regardless of what comes next.

Adjusters GL is not going to cover fraud. You need to sue the insurance company and the adjuster.

Why the insurance company?

They simply issued a check with the correct people's names on it. The PA took a valid check and committed forgery.

I don't see how I can do anything to the insurance company
