Love the Nusbaum insurance team! Not only have they helped me personally get great rates, I feel 100% comfortable referring my clients to them as well. They are local, professional, compassionate and fight for all of their clients. Every transaction and claim is personal for them and the care with which they treat all their clients can not be beat! Of course, you hope to never need your insurance company, but if you ever do, you want to be in their hands.

After more than 10 years with SL Nusbaum I need some help with insurance across the US. For over 10 years as we served the US Navy on the eastcoast Nusbaum has been a great member of our team. I highly recommend them. Whenever we needed support they were very responsive and helpful. If you're working in the Mid-Atlantic I could not recommend more highly.

This company mistakenly sent me an insurance quote even though I don't live in their state and have never spoken to them. I notified them of the issue and asked them politely to stop contacting me. Here we are over a month and five requests later and I'm still being sent spam by these people. Avoid.
