I have been with Lakewood Financial Services for as long as I can remember!!! They have always provided the best insurance company to meet my needs…………Recently, I had a huge windshield crack and when I called them
Karina immediately took over and sent me all the info I needed for Safelite and my policy info. She was such a huge stress reducer! They are a fabulous company…..
We needed to make some changes in our family’s car insurance coverage/policy and Rebecca was an absolute joy to work with. Before contacting a new business, I typically check the Google reviews and was impressed with Lakewood Financial 5-star rating and the name Rebecca kept coming back with only nice comments. And all is true! Efficient and resourceful, she helped us navigate the insurance maze and find good rates. We are very satisfied and highly recommend this company. Thank you, Rebecca!
We have had excellent service regarding our insurances (home, auto, flood) over the years from Lakewood Financial Services. Everyone has been very helpful and responsive, especially Martin Curto. Outstanding.
Janey Smith has been an exceptional agent over the past few years. More knowledgeable about the insurance industry than anyone I’ve come across. She always responds to my requests and comments in a timely manner, and steers us in the right direction when making changes. I could not ask for better service.
