File a Complaint Against an Insurance Agent or Company

Every state has an insurance regulator whose job is to protect you — not agents, and not insurance companies. If an agent misled you, sold you a policy you didn’t understand, pressured you, or disappeared when you needed help — or if an insurance company mishandled or wrongly denied your claim — you can file a formal complaint with your state’s Department of Insurance. It is free, it is your right, and the state is required to look into it.

Yes — this includes me

Most agents would never put this page on their own website. I will. If you believe I treated you unfairly, I want you to have this. Try me first — call or text (954) 787-9118 and I’ll work to make it right. If you’re still not satisfied, file below. My license is on the line in every conversation I have, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Before you file — what to have ready

You don’t need a lawyer, and you don’t need everything perfect — file with what you have. Never pay anyone to file an insurance complaint for you; the state does it free.

How filing works

  1. Pick your state below. Every button goes to that state’s official complaint page.
  2. File online (fastest for most states), or use the consumer phone line listed on your state’s card.
  3. The state goes to work. The department reviews your complaint, contacts the agent or company, and requires them to answer.
  4. You hear back. Departments track every complaint on an agent’s and company’s record — patterns lead to fines, license action, and restitution.

One important note: complaints are filed with your state, on the state’s website — never through this site. I don’t see them, I can’t touch them, and no agent can make one go away. That’s the point.

Rather talk it out first?

If your complaint involves a plan I helped you with, call or text me at (954) 787-9118 and I’ll dig in personally. And if we can’t fix it, this page stays right here.
