I have worked with Shari, Matt and Kent for several years now. I cannot say enough about this team's commitment to making sure you are well informed, happy and have everything in the right place. Shari goes above and beyond in helping our employees with claims or general questions. Matt's response time is.5 seconds and has never let me down with any request! You guys make the process of insuring our team so much better!

Words simply cannot express the level of care and customer service I received by Shari Sheridan with Bukaty Companies. I was grieving the loss of my fiance, and trying to find my way in a complete fog of grief not knowing how to start the life insurance process, not wanting to but needing to. Shari went above and beyond what any insurance agent would ever be expected to. She helped me through the process, comforted my grief, and gave me factual information that would help me and my family now and in the future. I would recommend them to the people that I love.

If you have the pleasure of working with Carrie Arthur, she is an absolute ALL STAR! Her professionalism and efficiency are top notch. I had a lot of "life things" happening all at once, and she put my mind at ease while navigating a solution. She was quick to follow up with any information I had requested, and answered the MANY question I had. I truly felt that Carrie was GENUINELY invested in helping me - something I think a lot of customer/client service specialists are lacking these days. I felt like an actual human being - and not just a number or name. What a fantastic company!
