I recently launched my own business, and finding the right insurance agent turned out to be a major challenge. The experience was nothing short of a nightmare—several so-called ‘agents’ promised they could help, only to disappear and never return my calls. That was until I reached out to Kristen Barneski. From the moment we connected, Kristen has been an absolute lifesaver. Not only did she help me with properties that other agents couldn’t manage, but she also went above and beyond to ensure I had the right coverage in plac... read more

This company is a complete disappointment when it comes to customer service and support. I was with them for a couple of years and things were fine at first. But once their agency changed and new agents took over, everything went downhill fast. James is very rude! I had a commercial insurance policy through them, and getting help became nearly impossible. Phone calls were ignored, emails went unanswered, and when I finally did reach someone, they either didn’t know what they were talking about or couldn’t provide real answer... read more

If there are any questions or concerns I have, I know to just send Mary an email and she is answering my question and supplying me information quickly with regard to any of my insurances. She always makes ... read more

Normally, I don't leave one-star reviews, but my experience with James and this agency was a complete nightmare. For someone in customer service, James has a terrible attitude and lacks professionalism. I wasn’t asking for anything for free—I simply wanted to understand why certain policies were so expensive. Instead of providing a clear explanation, he raised his voice during our last conversation. That completely killed my desire to keep dealing with bad-tempered people. I don’t know if he’s the owner or not, but he is far... read more
