It’s one thing when a lack of customer service results in you not getting your empty coffee cup refreshed, but when a life insurance agent goes south on service and the life insurance company they represent joins them on the beach it can end in disaster. When a...

I took a call this morning that popped up a question for civilian contractors and workers in war zones that I had honestly not considered. The call was from a widow whose husband worked for a US company in Afghanistan and died while working there about six months ago...

I wish I had the time to write a blog just on AARP/New York Life and their awful over 50 life insruance products and service. Since helping a couple of beneficiaries collect claims that AARP had told them they weren’t going to pay it’s obvious a person...

I get calls every once in a while from people whose spouse or parent is literally terminally ill and many times imminently terminal. I think they know the answer already but I understand that they see what’s coming and they know it’s going to be a financial hit and,...
