Here's what Luke's clients say!

The attention to detail and the calm and precise manner of your Representative Mr. Luke Hockaday was a pleasure as my not being in the insurance business it is so important that the Representative is attentive and caring and meeting all the customers concerns and needs not to mention matching the right product to the right customer's needs and Luke, Joyce and all the staff were very helpful and kind. It was a pleasure.
J. S., Customer
Luke suggested a change to my drug supplement insurance which was not only a lower monthly premium, but resulted in getting my prescriptions free.
J.B., Customer
Luke has always been willing to go above and beyond to help solve any issues I have had to receive reimbursements from the insurance companies. He has a very positive attitude and is very knowledgeable about the insurance industry. I truly believe I would have made better financial decisions earlier if I had someone like Luke to guide my insurance needs.
K. T., Customer
I love the competitive prices you were able to secure for me on both the drugs and supplemental health policies. Also for the first time in about 3 years I am able to use some recommended medicine from my dermatologist that I was unable to recieve with the other policy . Thanks for the great effort. Larry

I was just glad to hear about the John Hancock long term care/life Insurance policy they offer. My husband had complained for years trying to get me to invest in stocks, but I refused. Boy was he shocked when I immediately decided to sock some away in this policy. Now he has nothing more to complain about!
