I have had the opportunity to work with Jameel on behalf of mutual clients. His dynamic personality, quick response along with being able to think out of the box for clients and provide options, has had clients tell me he has been an absolute pleasure to work with for their residential and auto insurance needs. I would highly recommend contacting Jameel for any residential and auto insurance questions that you may have.
