- STAY AWAY! 0 STARS! They are a fraud! - Customer service rep Christopher Monk hung on me during our conversation. If you want to get your WC policy cancelled and have David Agency only collect your dues, then work with them without any coverage. Very poor Agency. We reported them to BBB and filed a claim in small claims to have our money refunded. -STAY AWAY!- you will save your self a lot of aggravation.

Claims Adjuster Supervisor Andrew White is rude and very unprofessional. Absolutely terrible customer service! Very condescending and he refused tell me the name of his supervisor's name. I am asking him questions and his tone was as if I was lying. How he is a supervisor is beyond me. I was telling him what happened and his tone of "oh really" and "are you sure" made me beyond mad and shocked this man has a job. I will be asking for someone else to take over my claim and probably leave Met Life.

Our company, NeoChloris Inc. has purchased corporate insurance policies from The David Agency including Worker's Comp and Liability. We have found them to be very responsive to our needs, fairly priced and offering what we needed for our small business. We appreciate their hard work on our behalf and do not recommend to recommend them to other companies.

Jimmy is the best. I was referred to him and couldn't be happier. He saved me money on my auto policy and was very helpful and informative throughout the whole process. He is always available for any questions and explained different options to me. Thank you!
