"Marissa Fritz and Chris Nickas are the best of any auto insurance carriers I have experienced. I joined State Farm 2 years ago when my prior carrier had little to no human interaction when I had a concern. Marissa and Chris are quick to reply and handle any issues that arise. I switched bank billing and had two girls go off to college which created a lot of moving parts to get handled. It was seamless and the communication from their office is unmatched anywhere. Oh, did I not mention that their price for our vehicles was the best value of 4 other companies that I checked."
We responded:
"Walt, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! I'm really happy to hear that Marissa and I have been able to provide the personal touch and quick responses you were looking for. It's great to know that the transition with your bank billing and your daughters going off to college went smoothly. We're also glad you found our pricing competitive. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything!"

"I have been with Chris Nickas State Farm forever. My agent is Bianca. I have been with Bianca since day 1. Insurance is something that can make people nervous, like it does me. But Bianca makes me feel very comfortable. I rest well knowing I am in good hands. I have home, auto, and life with State Farm. Bianca is a very important part of my life. It is a huge relief to have an insurance agent that you can trust and takes care of you, like Bianca does me. Thank You Bianca."
We responded:
"Thank you, Andrew, for sharing your experience! I'm so glad to hear that Bianca has been such a reassuring presence for you over the years.

"⭐ (1 star)
**Chris Nickas - State Farm | A masterclass in how to lose a loyal customer.**
Like everyone else right now, I'm already feeling the pressure of rising costs on everything from groceries to gas. The last thing I needed was my insurance agent making it worse — but here we are.
State Farm migrated to a new servicing platform and changed my policy number, which required me to sign a new Uninsured Motorist form. That form was sent once in June — straight to my spam folder. No phone call to confirm I received it, no follow-up that actually got my attention, nothing. Just a form sitting in spam with a ticking clock on it.
Fast forward to today when I noticed my premium had jumped from **$183/month to $319/month** — a **73% increase** — on three vehicles including a golf cart. I called, asked them to resend the link so I could review and address it. They did. It expired at **4:21 PM the same day.** Their response? "We cannot backdate the coverage. Nothing we can do."
So I canceled and moved to Progressive.
The kicker? The same email from rep **Marissa telling me nothing could be done ended with a **PS asking me to leave a Google review for their office competition.**
Well Marissa, here you go.
Chris — when people are already stretched thin, your office's answer to a form that landed in a customer's spam folder shouldn't be a $135/month permanent penalty with zero recourse. I'll be filing a formal complaint with the **Florida Department of Financial Services** for the record.
To anyone reading this — ask your agent to confirm receipt of any document that affects your premium before the clock runs out. Don't assume it made it to you."
We responded:
"Adam — thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We understand premium changes are stressful, and we’re sorry you’re unhappy with the outcome
Our office went beyond what was required and what we always do as a locally run State Farm agency serving our community. We communicated the Uninsured Motorist requirement and followed up to ensure you had the opportunity to complete the update before it impacted renewal. Based on our records, State Farm mailed the Uninsured Motorist information/forms to your address on file prior to the renewal process. When we did not receive a response, our team began contacting you starting 5/1 and continued outreach so it could still be handled before renewal
Contacts attempted by our office:
• 5/1 – Selection/Rejection email and text sent
• 5/6 – Voicemail left
• 5/18 – Second voicemail left
• 6/1 – Third voicemail left so it could still be addressed before renewal
The premium increase occurred because your Uninsured Motorist status was not updated/confirmed in time. If you had any questions, you were always welcome to call our office so we could help you immediately. We cannot control whether or when documents are received or whether voice messages are returned. The lack of action on the required update until the increase was noticed is what led to the renewal outcome
While we regret the increase took place, I have to stand up for the great team of agents I work with every day. They do their best to assist and support our clients and while your Google review is obviously intended to indicate other wise I would refer you to the hundreds of positive reviews my team has received.

"Cancelling my homeowners policy due to claims. One of the claims reoccured because the issue was not corrected the first time around. Offering no alternatives for another carrier."
We responded:
"Shannon, thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be to deal with multiple property insurance claims which to have resulted in the cancellation of your homeowners policy. While underwriting decisions regarding non-renewals or cancellations due to claim history and frequency are made at the corporate level, our local team always aims to guide our clients through these transitions as best as we can."

"We have been with State Farm for over 50 years. Chris Nickas office has been apart for 20+ of those years. I can't say or brag enough about this office, especially Bianca. They are always professional with outstanding customer service. Bianca is definitely one of the best agents, always there, helpful and is like part of the family. I can state that I have never had to even consider going to any other insurance agency for any of our needs. Rentals, Home, Auto and Motorcycle, we've had it all. Thank you, for always taking care of us!"
