Impressed with the service and the speed and diligence -Posted on David CohenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prior to this experience our company has been with the same agent for the past 7 years. Last year when we saw that our rates were going up and our agent did not seem to be too interested in helping us we responded to several inquiries of interest from other agencies. MPL rose to the top in terms of follow-up and follow-through. Derek Benevidas quickly demonstrated that he was willing to go the distance to capture both our work comp package and our General Liability package. I would highly reccomend Derek for his professionalism and willingness to roll up his sleeves to get the job done.Posted on Acolytes Home Health CareTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
