Who Is Jerry Kotler?

“The Greatest Public Adjuster of Them All”

Ali. Gretzky. Kotler?

He might not be a household name, but in the world of insurance claims and property recovery, Jerry Kotler is a legend in his own right.

Greatness is hard to define — it’s not just talent or results, but the combination of skill, passion, and integrity. Muhammad Ali was “The Greatest” not only because he won three heavyweight titles, but because of his larger-than-life spirit. Wayne Gretzky was “The Great One” not only for his records, but for the way he changed the game.

Jerry Kotler belongs to that same spirit of mastery — not in sports, but in fighting for policyholders. For more than 50 years, he’s built a career defined by relentless advocacy, unwavering honesty, and a touch of trademark humor.

“I Just Pretend It’s My Claim — or My Mother’s.”

That’s how Jerry explains his approach to every loss, whether it’s $5,000 or $5 million.
He’s known across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut for his hands-on professionalism, quick response, and ability to secure fair, rightful settlements.

“I fight for every nickel,” Jerry says, “but I don’t ask for what isn’t there. Insurers know that if I’m going for it, it’s in the policy — and they’re going to have to pay for it.”

That blend of honesty and persistence has earned him deep respect from both clients and insurance companies.

A Sense of Humor in Serious Times

Jerry’s motto — “The Greatest Public Adjuster of Them All” — began as a light-hearted slogan, but over the years, it stuck. He prints it on magnets, notepads, and flashlights — partly as a joke, but also as a reminder that when disaster strikes, you can’t find anyone more reliable, responsive, or trustworthy to protect your insurance interests.

“People who call me are worried and scared,” he says. “Humor helps.
It reminds them there’s light at the end of the tunnel.”

A Trusted Name for Over 3,000 Clients

Based in Saint James, New York, Jerry doesn’t chase cases or cold-call losses. Business comes to him — through referrals from thousands of satisfied clients who know his work firsthand. He’s handled everything from house fires in Connecticut to hurricane claims in St. Croix, always with the same principle: integrity first, results always.
