Welcome to Michaelson & Messinger Insurance Specialists, LLC
We adjust your claim like it is our own
We Serve You, The Policyholder
Experiencing a fire to your home or other property can be devastating. Property owners are forced to make important decisions in areas with which they are unfamiliar and inexperienced. After the initial shock passes, the most important question becomes: “How best to protect my family and property investment?
For a free consultation either via telephone or in person, please call 630-654-2600 to set up a meeting.
As a property owner, you have an extremely important choice that will have long-term consequences. The options are:
1. “Should I allow the adjuster hired by my insurance company to adjust and determine values and loss amounts I have suffered to my property solely on the basis of his or her interpretation of the fire loss facts and policy language without independent professional negotiation?”
2. “Should I hire a licensed, trained professional who will independently and aggressively represent my interests throughout the entire adjustment process, and who will present restoration and repair solutions based upon what is best for me and my family?”
Experience and statistics show that option 2 is the best choice because it uses the “check and balance” system endorsed by the Illinois Department of Insurance.
Consider this: Your insurance company hires a professional adjuster to represent its interests in your fire loss. You also need and deserve a professional adjuster to represent your interests. This check and balance system is the only way to assure a fair and equitable settlement for all parties concerned.
Adjusting Services
The insurance company has experts working on their behalf, why shouldn’t you?
What you need is a local public adjuster who works solely for you, not the insurance company. We represent you in order to make sure you are properly paid for your claim. M&M LLC is the “check and balance” organization necessary to assist in the entire claim process.
We work directly with the insurance company on your behalf in a professional and timely manner. The essence of an insurance policy is to “indemnify” the insured, or to make whole again. This is our specialty.

What Our Clients Are Saying
The at Michaelson and Messinger has helped me with a few referrals of mine and they both thanked me for the professionalism and solving each of their unique situations. I received “thank you” emails from both referrals for referring them to M&M. Nice work, thanks for the prompt responsiveness as well when we reached out.
After an extensive house fire, we worked with Mike at Michaelson & Messinger for the restoration of our home. Mike and the team at Michaelson & Messinger were always working behind the scenes to make sure we had the best possible outcome. They handled all of the negotiations with our insurance adjusters and worked with our mortgage company in a way that made us proud to be their customers. They took the stress out of what could have been a very stressful situation. The contractor, Aerk, did an amazing job with all of the restoration work. All of the workers […]
Stanley was absolutely awesome. We had a fire at our rental property and he helped us throughout the whole process. Always answered the phone when we called and worked with our insurance company to get us the money that we deserved.
Michelson and Messinger did an outstanding job after a car hit my property. They negotiated a settlement with the insurance company then fix everything with no out of pkcket expense. Very pleased with Mike and Dennis.
One week before Thanksgiving 2020 my mother’s house caught fire. Just when you think 2020 couldn’t get worse, we were faced with the mass devastation as a result of the fire. As they were boarding up the house that evening Stan Maka of Michaelson and Messinger introduced himself and gave us some information about the company. The following day we met with Stan to get a better understanding of what his company was all about. We researched Michaelson and Messinger and called three references that Stan provided to me upon my request. After speaking to all three references at length […]
My house was destroyed by fire in February 2020. I was devastated and did not know where to turn. I was surprised how Michaelson and Messinger stepped in to guide me along this process. More importantly, the project manager Stanley was the greatest. Stanley’s work is award winning, beautiful, and professional. Stanley and his crew are skilled, knowledgeable, patient, detailed oriented, and amazing. He thoroughly explained every detail of his plans and kept in constant communication with me. Stanley and his crew worked hard and diligently to remodel my house and it turned out spectacular! I would not hesitate to […]
Can’t say enough about my positive experience, they were timely professional and explained everything thoroughly. Ive had a few other companies come out, but they treated me with a sense of urgency. Workers were highly skilled, clean and organized. Communication was excellent which was my biggest concern! Definitely recommend M&M
After only having my home for only 6 months I experienced a small fire that caused a lot of damage. Jarrett & Stan were there from day 1! From temporary housing to picking out tile. Stan was even nice enough to install my new security cameras after every thing was said & done. My whole experience was better than what I would have ever expected under those circumstances. I would definitely recommend this company!!!
I had an electrical fire at a rental property and Joe was there to take care of the estimate and help me receive insurance proceeds. It was a very smooth process and I felt it was handled very professionally. I will hopefully not need their services again but would use them if I do.
Great people to do work worth helped me threw everything with my fire that happen at a rental very responses when calling help with all answers from insurance. Highley recommend!
I recently had a fire and lost everything. I met with several restoration companies but none of them were as helpful and honest as Stan. From the very beginning my insurance company complicated the process which turned into a nightmare. Michaelson & Messinger helped negotiate my structural and contents claim and were able to generate more money to rebuild my home and fix it the right way. Stan handled everything and walked me through each step calmly and thoroughly. He went above and beyond and allowed me to pick everything out from top to bottom. He even shopped with me […]
An electrical fire in our attic occurred on 3/11/2020, 2 days before the pandemic lock down. Stan showed up while the fire departments were here and once he knew that everyone in the house was OK even though we were in shock he talked to us about what his company could do for us to get our house repaired and back to normal there was no pressure-he explained everything briefly to us left us a folder and we signed with Stan & his team were a blessing! It took 7 months from start to finish to get us back into […]
Professional staff! Phil and Claudia are great to work with!
I can’t say enough good things about my experience. First of all, they are prompt. If they say they’ll be there at 7am, they are there at 6:45am….every time. I had a fire and they did a new full kitchen, deck, and more. The kitchen was done in 4 weeks. Great communication! Skilled, trustworthy workers. I was living in a hotel and they had access to my home. Never a problem. They were here when my field adjuster from the insurance company came. I believe that helped get me a considerable amount of money more granted for work to be […]
I had a fire 5 months ago and last week I moved into my beautiful new looking home. I am so glad I hired Terry and his company M&M to get me threw these tough times if anybody is looking for a fire restoration company you need to look no further M&M is the best.
My home went into flames and i lost everything. Michaelson and Messinger rebuilt my house and it looks more amazing than before. They took care of the whole insurance process. Thank you Michaelson and Messinger!
M&M performed excellently for my water restoration relocation and construction.
