The word is that they got a better deal.  The new office is very attractive and nice along with being a better bang for their buck.

The new location address is: 23422 Mill Creek Drive, Suite 200, Laguna Hills, CA 92653.

The Vice President of Claims, Dean Clifton, is in the office regularly, but many of the claims supervisors and examiners work a great deal out of their homes.  FARA has set up their claims examiners and supervisors to work out of offices in their private homes for many years now.

Patricia Zanders is a claims supervisor working out of her home and reporting to that office, along with examiners Cristina Flores, Deanna Smith, and Greg Mariano.

In early July, Tristar Risk Management reopened their Signal Hill, California, office in a temporary location after being displaced in late April after a devastating fire burned their building to the ground.  While the building is being rebuilt, the Tristar Long Beach area office is at 1680 Hill Street, Signal Hill, California 90755.  James Roberts is the relatively new claims manager there over a staff of about 20 people.

The Signal Hill office which was at 2835 Temple Avenue in Signal Hill, acted as the main center of Tristar's multi-state wide computer and phone systems.  Their superior disaster recovery program allowed them to recover their full functionality within a matter of days back when the fire occured on April 28th 2009.
