We worked with James Galante for our insurance policies for our Medical Office and it was such a positive experience. James is knowledgeable regarding insurance and has great attention to detail. He kept in touch with us the entire time, made sure documents were completed and submitted, and even hand delivered our policies to us. We will always use James for any insurance needs we have in the future. I have already recommended him to friends for personal insurance as well as other medical practices for group policies.

As a new business owner, we wanted the best coverage possible! We can't thank James enough for his kindness, attention to detail and assistance. He made sure we were informed on all policies and that our charcuterie and catering business was protected in the best way. Thank you!

We have been looking for HOA Insurance for our development in Western NC. Had several companies that were unsatisfactory for various reasons. Finally found Brooks Moody who made the process simple and easy. I would recommend him to anyone.

I've been working with Adams Eaddy & Associates for over 3 years. Andy Nason and his team have given me piece of mind as our company has experienced multiple stages of growth. I really appreciate Andy's personal approach to insurance and highly recommend his services to any small business owner.
