M.T., Customer
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!
Customer since 2011
I am very pleased with this insurance I have with you. Hi Luke hope you are all doing good Lois
L.B., Customer
We suggested your firm to our neighbor and he went right away to sigh up with Luke. We will always do that since he was so great in helping us. Also our brother is working with you.
J.H., Customer
My experience with your staff (mainly, Taylor). She is always very helpful, responds back immediately, and is very thorough!
M.L., Customer
Prompt, courteous service from all staff. I like that I can make a request and it is taken care of without having to wait for my agent to get back to me, then have to explain the request again. The support staff takes the request and runs with it. Thank you for saving my time!!!!
D.C., Customer
I found Luke to be very personable and always more than willing to find the information that I requested of him. If he didn't know the answer at the time he would either find it himself or ask someone in the know. From our first meeting with Luke my wife and I felt extremely comfortable with him and the way he conducted himself. We feel like they offered a great product and we couldn't be more pleased at this time.
Michael S., customer since 2014
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
Great follow-up and above and beyond service!
K.W., Customer
I did not have to read and look through a bunch of different insurance policies to find a sup. policy. Luke took care of it for me.
G.B., Customer
My agent Luke Hockaday is the best. He is always on top of everything you need to know. He is very nice and friendly. He takes care of me if I have any concerns at all. Very happy with him.

Appreciate your comprehensive knowledge of a rapidly-changing field, attention to detail, and personal (as opposed to electronic) attention.

R.C., Customer
When I call my agent, Luke Hockaday, I always get a prompt response. There is no waiting a day or two to hear back. The office is always very helpful and courteous. In this day of poor customer service it is refreshing to have an agent and staff that care about my concerns.
D.C., Customer
We have been exceptionally pleased to work with Sams/Hockaday and with Luke Hockaday. Luke has always been professional but also very personable and you feel like he really cares! We've only had one little issue with a bill (which was not their fault) but we took it to the office and it was taken care of for us and they happily agreed to do so. We always recommend Luke and Hockaday Insurance to everyone we know.
Patricia B., customer since 2013
I retired June 30, 2016 and Jim and I each needed a supplemental medical policy and a prescription plan. Luke walked us through this process. His recommendations were "perfect" for us....he set the supplemental policy and gave us step by step instructions on getting set up with the prescription plan. We ran into some "glitches" with the prescription plan and he returned our calls immediately. He never made us feel he was "too busy." We could not have been more pleased with the ease of this transition and Luke's professionalism.
S.W., Customer
Have always provided a timely response to any and all of my questions. Keep up the good work.
J.C., Customer
I like that you are easy to contact and knowledgeable .
R.H., Customer
Very informative, answered all our questions we asked and was very personable. Thank -you for all the help.
