I love Barton Insurance! Cyndi really cares about her clients as if they were family. i completely trust her with all my insurance needs. I have been a client for several years and have been nothing but extremely happy! Karen and Jeanie, her assistants, are extremely prompt and effective. If you are not already her client I highly suggest you make the switch, you wont regret it.
