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

Matthew Copus – Thanks for checking in. Everything is going well here and we’re using the certificate portal. It has improved life for our office manager.  Ann Slobod

Matthew Copus – I told Rob about your phone call yesterday and we were both impressed with your suggestion.   You seem to have our best interest in mind, we greatly appreciate that.  Ann Hammer

Matthew Copus – All is well on our end and you guys always have and continue to provide outstanding service.  Tim Salmons

Matthew – Thank you so much.. always appreciate you go the extra mile for us.  Sherry Rou

I had contacted Matthew Copus of Hall & Company regarding an RDA matter today. Matthew and everyone at Hall & Company have been very helpful for the past several years.  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

Matthew – As always, I completely enjoy working with Hall & Company, specifically you and Jim, since you are the reps I work with overall. You both have amazing customer service and are always willing to help me with any weird questions/inquiries I throw your way. Michelle Scribner – Montana

Matthew and Jim, thanks for taking my call and helping us get this completed so fast. It is wonderful that you are able to understand. You are the BEST. So grateful for your QUICK response to help us. Suzanne Clark – Colorado

Matt and Jim, I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work getting our business insurance down to a reasonable rate.  I could not believe the difference, and Tom is extremely grateful.  We will happily recommend you to any other folks we talk to who are looking for a better insurance package.

“Matthew – Thank you for coming up with RLI as an alternate. With our old carrier I was about to throw in the towel and go pump gas or something instead of practicing architecture. It is getting really crazy out there. We have enjoyed working with you and look forward to continuing our relationship.”
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.”
Cooki Campbell

“Donna, thank you very much. And please thank Matthew for me. This is a great relief.”

Estelle Nelson

“Thank you for such a warmth email. I really enjoy working with you and Hall & Co. and hope that we will continue this lasting relationship. I will definitely refer your services to anyone who inquires.”
Hung Dom, CDA

“…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!”
Penn Geldersleeve, PE

“I appreciate all you have done for us throughout the year. You guys do a great job and I don’t hesitate referring our professional friends and clients to you as we have done in the past.”
