Our verification notes
Across this entire national research, this is the clearest single piece of evidence that a named engineer personally signs these NFIP forms. Two caveats: the firm now trades as WLB Group, an LJA company, after acquisition, so verify the entity on any contract; and the signature record dates from 2020, so confirm the engineer is still with the firm.
