What Clients Say About LSM

Cristina E. Ozoa

I’ve always had my insurances paid for by the company I work for and I always ended up continuing it when it is time to sever ties. When I felt the need to have another insurance, I did not know anyone in the industry. I was lucky enough to have googled the right provider - LSM Insurance - and met Syed Raza, who is a warm, professional, and very patient person. Syed never pushes you to sign up. That I find really amazing as most agents would push me to decide. He took time to visit me in my office to explain the details. Until now, Syed still continues to provide answers to my queries and I have been grateful to him for that.

I have recommended Syed Raza and LSM Insurance to the people I know and will not hesitate to that in the future. I am very happy with the excellent service and care that I have received.
