Report
My experience with J&D has been excellent. They are much more than a benefits broker looking to make a sale. They always keep me up to date on what is happening in the market and are proactive in their support. I've worked with several of the "name" brokers in the past and there is no comparison. J&D is head and shoulders above them all.
