“Joe has been a complete pleasure to work with. His team took on quite the challenge working with a young entrepreneur. Our complex needs were no challenge for his team. Lightning fast responses with a smile. We look forward to the years coming!”
“I was connected to ATG through a commercial insurance lead online. From there, Joe from ATG reached out to me to ask what I needed, what type of business I was operating, etc.
After reviewing my policy with a different insurance company I wasn’t satisfied with, Joe pointed out many discrepancies that my current insurance policy had, and began working on building quotes with multiple insurance companies to find me the best rate that would properly cover my business.
After a few days, Joe reached out with a quote and a breakdown of all of the coverages and costs. Not only did Joe compile a policy that had all of the correct codes and coverages, he also pulled together a quote that was multiple thousands less than my current policy.
Couldn’t be more satisfied with the folks over at ATG, I highly recommend them.”
“I was highly impressed by the level of care and responsiveness by Joe and The Allen Thomas Group! Joe was attentive and thorough. He was able to meet our company’s needs and get us connected with all the right insurance limitations to ensure we were compliant in our commercial business.
The service was a breath of fresh air, especially after being let down by so many other insurance providers. Thank you Joe, and the Allen Thomas Group!! Highly recommended!”
