I found Joy Insurance to be responsive and thorough. My phone calls were answered by a polite person who was kind and supportive. I worked with Karen to find commercial insurance and my business is complex so she had to work pretty hard. She found me a policy to fit my needs and my budget. Although I am newer to the Middletown area, I hope to use them for years to come.
