We make sure that:

  • Your insurance companies, banks, and credit unions are financially sound
  • You are treated fairly
  • Your insurance claims are handled promptly and accurately and the companies honor their policies
  • All financial, insurance, and mortgage professionals are held to high standards
  • Insurance rates not too high, not too low, and appropriate for the benefits being provided 

We do this by:

  • Investigating consumer complaints
