Client Testimonials

"I was fortunate that I became friends with John Cummings.  He suggested I look in some high quality coverage to buidl a financial security plan for me just in case, and he was so right.  The best move I ever made was to talk to JC, listen to him, and follow his advice."

Shawn PIche

"Some people say they are hesitant to work with friends....I cannot understand why. With Northwestern Mutual supporting him, JC helped us get both personal coverage and executive benefits, and I know I can count on him."

"It's hard enough to lose a friend at our age, but to realize we could be in the same situation and stand there wondering if we are prepared is really scary. JC was great in helping us through the process and made it less difficult than we imagined.  Before we decided what to do, he helped us analyze and learn what we needed to know to make educated decisions.  It's extremely satisfying to have that confidence , expecially when protecting our future and our family.  With the right details and guidance to make sense of them from a trustworthy expert, you too can enjoy life with one less fear."

"J.C. - Thanks for making this so easy!"

"I feel a great sense of relief! John completed a thorough needs analysis and was able to lay out a series of high quality options for our family. I like the fact that he moved at a good pace but didn’t push.  John and I have known one another since high school at Portsmouth Abbey, but you don't have to know him so long to be comfortable with his approach.  He simplified a potentially confusing process, recommended solid solutions, and we got it all going. I’m enjoying the peace of mind as we build on that for our family’s future."
Christopher A.M. Low
Chief Economist FTN Financial (formerly First Tennessee TN)
New York, NY
 
 
"My wife Karen and I met John volunteering at LaSalle Academy over 3 years ago. I’ have been very comfortable working with him. I evaluate financial strategies and make decisions every day in my role as the COO and CFO for Weeterbeke, so I value working with an agent who demonstrates expertise and product knowledge.  John  helped me assess our existing coverage and made inquiries on behalf with a variety of strong companies.  With John’s help, I’ve been able to improve our situation significantly. Besides being competent and trustworthy, John cares and does the right thing for his clients."

"To get right to the point, JC (John Cummings) helped us address our financial security situation very efficiently.  For a few years now, we've been trying to get around to putting the right pieces inplace for our growing family.  JC kept us focused, asked the right questions, and did a thorough analysis.  He then provided options that made sense for use.   It feels like a relief to work with such a strong company, and have a relationship with an agent we can trust."
Kenneth A. Sullivan Jr.
Seafood Wholesaler
Westport, MA
 
 
"We joked about this, but frankly, I told John he ‘had us at hello'.  I went to high school with John Cummings, so I know he has both a high level of integrity, and a strong work ethic.  John took what would normally be a tedious process, which I was not so enthusiastic to tackle myself, and he made it more navigable.  He has a passion for the business and genuinely cares about his clients.  John's product knowledge helped us understand and choose options we would never have found on our own.  We are now glad we accomplished this and feel very confident about the relationship and what we have in place for ourselves and our girls.  It's great to have a friend in the business!"
