Syndicate Feedback - 9.17.12

In the last week, we have received great feedback regarding our adjusters and their excellent service. We are excited with the recent comments left by these policyholders, and we would like to share their messages:
 
Eric Doyle, Field Adjuster - “He was a great young man, and if I ever had to go through this again, I would hope that I could get him out here again.”

Mike Hendricks, Field Adjuster - "We were extremely happy with Mike. He was very thorough and not in a hurry at all. He was very kind and answered all of our questions since we had no idea what to expect. He did his job very well and did not talk in circles, but just told it as it was. We would highly recommend Mike in the future."

Brandon Stevens, Field Adjuster - "Brandon handled the claim very professionally, and he knew his job well. I was very pleased and would definitely recommend his services in the future."
Great job by each of you! Keep up the great work...
