The right coverage can be a challenge since we appraise all property types. We appreciate the wealth of knowledge Javier and Mike bring to the table to help us find and evaluate the different carriers to determine the right solution. They take the time to make sure we fully understand the pros and cons of each choice. Javier has always been quick to respond whenever a question arises. Axis is an important strategic partner for us and I would highly recommend them.” “We have worked with Javier Gonzales and Mike Smith of Axis Insurance Services for many years and looked to them for assistance with our E&O coverage. Recently we added EPLI coverage and they were most helpful in guiding us through the choices and differences in coverages. We had a specific set of coverages for EPLI and Axis was very diligent about making the underwriters understand our particular needs. I would recommend Axis for their expertise and attention to providing a very high level of customer service.” “Since 2005 we have had the great benefit of having Axis Insurance Services as our E&O insurance agent. When looking for a new agent and coverage, we wanted to make sure he/she was looking out for our best interest, and could educate us on what was important to have in our coverage. Mike Smith has been available to us whenever a problem arises, or just for a minor question. He is a wealth of knowledge and makes us feel that his company is small and we are his biggest client. His expertise in guiding us through challenging situations has been invaluable. Every year the application process becomes easier with Axis, mainly due to their well-trained, helpful staff. Because of our excellent relationship and trust with Axis, we have added D&O/ELPI coverage with them.”
