We've been reading and hearing for a year or so about the mythical hard market that's coming. Moody's Investors Services reports that income in 2011 for P & C companies was down 33% from 2010. The combined ratio went to 10% in 2011, up from 99% in 2010. Moody's also says that business is actually starting to move from the so-called standard markets to E & S carriers.

You may have noticed something different recently when you call our office: you're greeted by a real-live human voice, not a recording. That human voice most of the time belongs to Lauren, who will see to it you get connected to the person you want.

If the specific person you want is unavailable, someone else should be able to help. If you want to leave a message for that certain person only, you can utilize voice mail. If you call outside business hours, you will receive an automated greeting and you can still leave a voice message.
