About Us
Originally Pennington & Associates, Blackstone Claim Services has served the community since 1999.
Gary Pennington
Gary Pennington, President and owner of Blackstone Claim Services, Inc., was inspired to become a public adjuster after a personal experience with insurance claim denial. When his own property suffered damage, he hired a public adjuster who successfully helped him settle his claim and recover financially. Motivated by this positive outcome, Gary founded Blackstone Claim Services in 1999 to help others navigate the complexities of insurance claims. For over 20 years, he has served his community by providing expertise in public adjusting, appraisal services, litigation and mediation support, and building consulting.
