My husband and I have been extremely satisfied with the service we received from Taylor & Blair, notably, Brian Jacobson. We contacted Taylor & Blair in March of 2022, after finding ourselves in a situation where we had been denied mortgage life insurance from one of the “Big 5” banks. Brian returned my call the same day that I spoke to the office and he proceeded to get the ball rolling. We are ecstatic that a settlement (in full) was reached this November. Brian was always easy to work with, via telephone and email, and always listened to our concerns. Thank you very much Brian for what you accomplished for us! It was a pleasure to shake your hand!
I received a very kind, thoughtful, and highly professional service from Brian and the firm. I would recommend Brian without any hesitation to anyone.
