I've been with Watson insurance for the last three years for my business liability and worker's compensation. I couldn't be happier! Ronnie Watson and his family have been wonderful, because they are wonderful people. Scott DeAngelo is my agent and he has been very attentive and completely on the ball every time I need anything or have a question. I know I am in very capable hands with Watson insurance. For me, it's all about the people, and you can't find a better group than you will here!

I had an excellent experience with Scott DeAngelo from Watson Insurance Inc when I recently switched my auto and homeowner's policies. I not only saved a good deal of money, but Scott was friendly and professional and made it almost effortless for me. My homeowner's insurance policy had been with a large national company for 17 years, and I feel much better entrusting it to a local agency with such a great reputation for customer service. Thank you to Scott and the Watson agency family!
