"The most efficient office we have experienced in our moves with State Farm. These office representatives that Derek has brought in to his team are easy to communicate with, I just text time what I need, and they are quick to response and get what I need. Great with follow up on one issue when I forgot to send additional information they needed. Well worth working with Derek and his office!"

"Like a good neighbor, State Farm will ditch you. My deceased mother had a policy since 1983 Not one claim. She passed away in January Anyone had a problem with the Will in New Jersey knows it’s a process to Become executor of the will. I asked State Farm to extend the policy by one month, which is what I need to become executor and actually sell this property off . They refuse The properties in the exact same state as it has been in the last 20 years, no problem taking my mom’s money and insuring it while she was alive. This is the reason people hate insurance companies. Their response other insurance companies are worse."

"I rarely leave negative reviews, but my recent experience deserves to be shared.
After body damage involving my 2014 BMW, I turned to State Farm—expecting timely communication and customer advocacy. Instead, I was left covering $250 in rental car fees because State Farm took an extra week to decline a claim on a damaged external mirror they knew about on day one. After the other repairs were already done, my vehicle sat idle at the body shop the an extra week, and I was left footing the additional bill for the rental car.
When I brought up my concerns, the agent made it clear—“It’s not my job to deal with claims.” Worse, he raised his voice at me for being frustrated, even though he is the public face of the company and the reason I signed up with State Farm in the first place.
I understand that agents may not control every step of the claims process. But what’s the point of having an agent if they don’t advocate for their clients or even acknowledge when things go wrong?
This experience has seriously shaken my confidence in State Farm—not just as an insurance provider, but as a service organization that’s supposed to be there when it matters most."
"Jose, again we truly apologize for this issue you are having. We will handle this for you."

"Derek is a rare combo in anyone you will meet in business, especially in the insurance industry.
He is informative and is ALWAYS looking out for your best interests. On top of that, his communication level and speed is second to none. When I have an issue or a question, he is there and i mean THERE. I have sent emails or texts at times that normally no one would even look at the phone (in the thought that he would get them as soon as he gets in the next morning) and he answers them and more often than not, acts of them too.
I can't tell you enough how pleasant it has been to work with him. These are reasons I have personally referred him out to multiple people so far and will continue to do so."
"Thank you, Phillip! I really appreciate your kind words. It’s been a pleasure working with you, and I’m glad I could be there when you needed assistance. The team and I truly value your trust. We're always here to help, and we look forward to continuing to support you in the future! -Derek"
