  When I started my business 4 years ago, the team at Risk Specialty Group was recommended to me by a long-time colleague to handle business and professional liability insurance.  I could not be happier!  Travis, Deanna, and the entire team are wonderful to work with.  They consistently provide excellent service and go above and beyond to make sure I have what I need, when I need it.  One example: I purchased a new vehicle for the business and was signing paperwork late on a Friday afternoon not realizing I would need auto insurance before I drove it off of the lot.  Travis and his team took my call at 5pm and made sure I had coverage so I could drive home before 6pm, on a Friday!  Just one example of their excellent service and responsiveness.

  The Risk Specialty Group was recommended to TTL by another client of theirs. We have not been disappointed! Both Travis and Candi have been wonderful to work with - the communication is exceptional and the overall switch from a different company has been seamless. I look forward to working with them for many more years to come.
