It was last October when I decided that it would be a good idea to protect my pay and acquire disability insurance to cover my greatest asset, my income. After searching the internet, I found LSM Insurance on the web and quickly realized that I was at the right website.

Lorne referred me to Andrew Burdi, LSM's living benefit expert, who took the time to explain how I could protect my retirement from life's uncerta­inties, such as cancer, heart attacks or simply being too hurt or sick to work.

We set a meeting and Andrew came to my house and we went through evaluating my needs in the event of a critical illness and or disability. We applied for coverage and I was approved.

Ninety days had passed since Andrew delivered my critical illness policy and it was time for my annual physical. Unfortunately, testing concluded that I had advanced colon cancer. Within 5 days of being diagnosed, I had to go for surgery.

Fortunately I took Andrew's recom­mendation. Andrew asked me if I was comfortable with the idea to have him come to the hospital to complete the claim forms to get things moving. I signed off to have Andrew assist me with the claim and he was instrumental in doing just that, gathering information then calling all the specialists involved.

Today I am fortunate enough to have a $ 100,000 tax free cheque delivered to me by Andrew Burdi from LSM to simply allow me to focus on getting better which give me the financial freedom to focus on my recovery which is now my first priority.

Four months ago I knew nothing about critical illness coverage until I met with LSM. Thanks to Andrew and LSM today I received a cheque for $ 100,000.

Thank you again for all your support and your willingness to assist with the claim personally.

Warm regards,

Susan Mast

When selecting life and disability insurance, I was fortunate enough to engage Jack Bendahan of LSM Insurance. Jack’s professionalism and enthusiasm made me feel immediately that I had chosen the right individual to represent me. I would highly recommend Jack and LSM Insurance to anyone seeking competent insurance representation and advice.

Jack Bendahan of LSM Insurance facilitated two (2) insurance policies that fit my financial needs and lifestyle in 2006. After signing the policies, my dealings with Jack and LSM never ended as he referred me to someone who helped me buy a house and he also gave me tips regarding insurance mortgage. He is not like a car salesman where once a deal is closed, you are basically on your own. Jack will not stop being a professional insurance/financial advisor as soon as he closed his own deal(s). He will see to it that he will be there for any assistance that you require within his expertise and reliable network. For my friends, acquaintances and work colleagues who've asked me for a financial advisor, I never hesitated in giving them Jack's contact information.

Although we both had life insurance with our employers, my husband and I always wanted to make sure we had extra life insurance especially with young children and a mortgage. Once the children grew up, graduated and got married we realized we did not need as extensive coverage. Our former Insurance Company was not able to provide us with suitable and more practical options except for raising our premiums because of our ages and never answering our telephone calls. We looked around for alternate Insurers and found Jack Bendahan “The Life Man” of LSM Insurance. We found him to be a very personable and professional young man who met with us in our own home to discuss the various options available. It is comforting to know that our life insurance needs have been addressed based on our changing circumstances and that Jack is always readily available should we have any questions.
