"This agent met my husband in the early 90’s. He held our homeowners for more than 5 years on our home in Bayshore. In 1999 we bought a house in Selden. He’s held that homeowners policy until it expires in 09/23. My son had an accident and they dropped him. He then dropped my husband and I and we needed to get new auto coverage because we had flat tires and cracked windshields because the LIE looked like the surface of the moon. 30 years-not even a phone call-sorry-nothing. Long term business relationships mean nothing to this agent. When you watch the commercials that promise rescues from flats and towing-it’s a lie. If you pay them over $300 a month and need to use the rescue service, they drop you right on your head. Thanks for nothing Rich File. When my Homeowners Policy is up in September 2023-SEE YA"
"Thank you for being loyal customers of my Agency since 1999. Your business was always appreciated and we strived to provide the best customer service to you and your family. Unfortunately, after your household experienced 12 claims from 2019-2022, State Farm Corporate would not offer to renew your policies. Due to your loss history, the Corporate decision was ineligible for Agent appeal."

"If I could give them zero stars , I would . Screwed up my car insurance which almost caused me a civil penalty as well as plate surrender ! RICH TOLD ME AFTER NOT RETURNING MY CALLS “ sorry but he was busy with another call !! I’ll stay with State Farm but will now shop for a new agent . STAY AWAY FROM RICH FILE To address your response , The vin numbers your office used were not incorrect, I still have the temporary Ins card you issued and it’s correct. I gave no additional information to you so to say anything was incorrect is just not factual. You only called me after I called corporate and asked them ti help me !! You said you were busy and could not call back , but what about the other 5 to 10 days I waited for your help? We’re you too busy everyday ? You told me corporate made the errors, now you claim I did , which lie is it this time ? It is true you were helpful in the past , this is why I’m so shocked , all you had to do was say a mistake was made . Also it’s true I’ve been a customer for 20!years , never once did you come out of your office to say anything to me or my family like , thanks for the Buisness ever. One thing I see you have learned from this is , a timely response is important, not after the facts with excuses. Sorry Rich"
"Jeff, my office is proud of our 30+ years of providing timely, efficient and accurate service to our policyholders. Your recent purchase of the Chevy Corvette was challenged by the following: Change of vehicle being purchased, incorrect VIN number provided, incorrect effective date of the purchase, and name of financial institution not provided. Each change of information, as provided to our office causes a processing delay. New York State regulation requires timely reporting to the Department of Motor Vehicles to match insurance and vehicle registration. The processing delays stated caused you to receive your Department of Motor Vehicles notices. In your review you stated you “Almost caused a civil penalty”, which is accurate, with the keyword being “Almost”. Upon all policy transactions being processed by State Farm Corporate, your civil penalty was rescinded, all due to the efforts of my office and staff. You made reference to me not returning your call. On that day, as discussed with you on the phone the following morning, I was traveling upstate New York handling Life Insurance death claims for a longtime insured family. I must admit that I’m conflicted by your review. In February 2021, your family suffered a water loss. At that time my office assisted you with securing an approved Restoration Contractor to handle the loss. To this day, I appreciate your kind words of praise for my efforts and the efforts of my staff. You have been a loyal customer since the late 1990’s, I would like to think we have done something right."

"Started off great, they offered better rates than what my previous insurance with Geico was offering so I switched with State Farm. I had two cars on my policy a Audi Q7 and a Audi A6, however when I traded in my Audi Q7 for a Audi S7 that’s where the problem starts 😩😒 my insurance when from $420.00 to $688.00 with State Farm and that’s with the maximum $2000.00 deductible and a squeaky clean license. I spoke with Jennifer my agent numerous times about why my insurance went up so high and what I can do to bring it down she simply told me, “I’m sorry but that’s the only way, I have a sport car so parts are more expensive and blah blah blah.” I wasn’t satisfied and I was not accepting that quote as my final answer. I started calling around pricing out different quotes and I came across Allstate insurance which offered me $330.00 for both my vehicles. I quickly made the switch with Allstate. Here’s the kicker after Allstate took over my insurance policy Jennifer from State Farm contacted DMV and reported I don’t have insurance, which prompted DMV to send me out notices to suspend my license for not having insurance which was not the case. (I had insurance just not with her, State Farm) and also insult to injury I had to put a payment in dispute with my bank a few days ago because State Farm is still billing me for $688.00 when I cancel my insurance a month ago. New potential people thinking of doing business with State Farm “Beware! Don’t even waste your time.”"
