Risk Specialty Group has handled my micro-company's insurance for almost three years. They have consistently provided prompt, professional, friendly, and effective customer service. I am always sure that I have access to their "A" team and that they are in my corner. Of all my service providers, they are #1 in that department. 6 stars if I could.
