As well as being very professional, Luke handled my needs and requests on a personal level, though we do not know each other personally. As the process began, I had a few questions and called Luke for clarification. Luke is very accessible and if he is not available when I call, he has always returned my calls in a timely manner. I will be happy to recommend Luke Hockaday to anyone who nneds to shop for insurance policy coverage.

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.

M.K., Customer
Making one feel at home and assured that the best is being done for me and my future!!!
C.P., 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
Luke Hockaday is always eager to help us find a new plan when premiums get to high for us to afford. He goes the extra mile.

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
As you know, I have always worked with Larry, he always had time for my questions and most IMPORTANT I always felt he had my best interest at heart ... not his. I consider that a very valuable fact with anyone I have dealings with. I recommend you highly.
D.B., 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
Very customer focused and easy to talk to.

R.B., Customer
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
Our guy Luke, makes eye contact as he works with us, he displays interest in who we are, Family, our years together in marriage more like the neighbor next door, he answers our questions and puts nothing out of bounds for discussion, He offers options, while explaining for our consideration a change in insurance policies, all around good service was ours. Thank You
R.B., Customer
You made the process easy to get a drug prescription plan and life insurance.
L.S., 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!!!!
