Greg Overbeck Owner Chapel Hill Restaurant Group Chapel Hill Restaurant Group Testimonial Letter With my previous carrier insurance was fast becoming an accounting and administrative nightmare! I decided to call Lisa and the difference in service was obvious right away. She came to my office, a first for me, and I was amazed when I saw the quotes Lisa was able to bring to me compared to my previous company. I was further impressed when time came to bid out our renewals ... she kept our cost from exceeding our previous year's premiums and was able to write our medical insurances without increases and better customer service than we had in the past.
