I have been working with Theresa Prios-Jewell for all of my marine insurance needs for over 7 years. Her knowledge in this area is exceptional. She has been an incredible resource with both coverage’s and markets. Most recently she provided us with a quote so competitive it saved our insured over $8,000 in premium and provided our client with increased limits. In turn, our client gave us the opportunity to quote and write their other lines of coverage.

I am extremely grateful for everything Legacy Underwriters did for our agency placing a tough Yacht policy while others could not resolve a quote - They were relentless in making it happen !!
