Customer Review Quotes:
"I switched my homeowners and auto insurance to Jud Owen's Allstate 6 months ago to get a little better rate on my home policy. A couple of weeks later I received a message from them stating that I needed to trim some limbs touching my roof or my policy would be cancelled."
"The absolute worst company I have ever dealt with. I have paid all state every month since I was 16 years old. I brought over my husband and insured our home and his vehicle with all state. We have moved between agents several times with no communication or warning."
"Very disappointed in the rate hikes. It's understandable that there will be rate increases due to circumstances beyond our control. When I first got insurance at this agency under (Gary Blatter) was the agent he gave me a wonderful rate at around $600 plus some change for an annual premium. Then the next year it went to around $800."
