Agents
I been a policy holder at SHAPIRO INS for 15 years. Every single one of the agents are always willing to help me. Friendly, respectful, couldn’t ask for any better. I always make comments (I will never leave) but is true. Recently I just walked in to make a payment and they checked my policy and I got to save a lot money, I mean a lot money. Thanks again (Juan Burgos and Ms. Lisabeth). ?
