Testimonials
I am forwarding an email from our insurance agent (Matthew Copus) that we use for our professional liability, general liability and auto coverage. We’ve been using Hall & Company for 3 years now and they’ve been able to find the most competitive rates in years. They also have an online client portal that I use to print out certificates of insurance that we need for clients that is really easy to use. We also use them to review client contracts and they offer recommendations on any changes that should be made. And all of this is at no charge to us. They really are a great company to work with! Lisa Macdonald

They are always there when you need them & respond quickly to inquiries. Great people and a great company to work with. Peggie Nagy
Matthew – I am attaching a review of the prime subconsultant agreement. There are issues in the prime owner agreement, however, my recommendation is simply to limit the prime agreement applicability relative to the subconsultant. You might also wish to provide your client with the slides from David Erickson’s presentation to day for your company. It was a very good presentation. Travelers Claim Rep

Tim Eagles
“We have worked with Matthew Copus since 2003 regarding our E & O insurance, and have found him to be very professional, and extremely efficient in providing annual quotes in a very timely manner. He has been very patient with the many questions that arise from contracts and the task of completing the annual E&O applications.
Several years ago, Donna Jansen encouraged us to consider transferring our business owner’s policy as well. This year our existing policy was reviewed. Donna suggested helpful changes that would provide better coverage for the existing policy, and provided some other quotes. As a result of her consistent follow up and recommendations, the policy was recently transferred.
We now have two great working relationships at Hall and Company! Thank you for the awesome customer service! It is a pleasure to work with you both.”

“…in reading the January 12, 2011, letter from you, it is surprising to note that Hall & Company has a client base of over 3,000 A/E firms. Based upon your responsiveness over the past 10-years or so to my many phone calls, questions, etc., I naturally assumed that our firm was your only client! Here’s to yet another great year for both of us!”
