Our Story 1965

A. Schoeneman’s family business was formed over 55 years ago by Allen Schoeneman. Prior to starting A. Schoeneman & Co, Allen was a glazer by trade. In 1956 he became a public adjuster with the sole mission of helping others and advocating on behalf of people. In 1983 Ron joined the business and continued the firm’s dedication to helping others and business.

Ron has expanded the company to become Chicago’s largest family-owned public adjusting firm and is now licensed and practicing in over 12 states. Allen’s other son Gary joined the business shortly after Ron in 1986. In 2012, Mitch Schoeneman joined the family business, officially making it a three-generation firm. Today, all three generations work alongside each other to continue advocating on behalf of the policyholder. Furthermore, A. Schoeneman uses the most advanced technology coupled with generations of experience to settle our customers’ claim needs.
