State Farm® Insurance Agent Jim Paterson

"John Kirsch and the team are fantastic. I have been working with them for many years and have been thoroughly impressed with their service. Speedy and accurate service is guaranteed at this office."

"We’ve been State Farm customers for many years but as of late it’s been very disappointing with concerns over price increases and not having a call back after speaking to a rep. I wrote an email to Mr Patterson last week after being told someone will look into why my policy for the car ins. It has been so inconsistent. Being told it’s inflationary does not warrant the jump in my monthly bill as such when my one car with so little mileage on it and it being 6 yrs old to go up as it has. I understand how prices are up on everything but I don’t understand is nobody returned my call or email. This is not acceptable and I will be looking into other insurance companies ."

"Alejandro Barnica is the agent that I worked/am working with. He a highly knowledgeable and approachable State Farm agent who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure his clients are well-protected. He takes the time to thoroughly explain coverage options, making sure you feel confident in your choices. His professionalism and personal touch make the insurance process smooth and stress-free."

"Muy buena atención de la persona que me atendió Alejandro Barnica. Tuvo paciencia y me supo explicar con detalles las preguntas que tenía. Por eso escogí esta compañía de seguros y también por los precios muy buenos. Lo recomiendo 😀"

"I am deeply disappointed with my experience at this State Farm agency. From the beginning, I encountered nothing but issues. I was assigned this office by State Farm when I joined. The staff consistently ignored my concerns and questions, making me feel like my business wasn't valued at all. Even worse, I was repeatedly misled with false information, which created unnecessary stress and confusion. It's disheartening to trust a company with your insurance needs only to be met with such unprofessionalism, specifically from Claire the “office manager” and Alejandro. Claire spoke to me poorly on several occasions and she also doubted who was speaking to her on the phone. Find another agency, I promise this review is not in spite of anyone. It’s about the service I received. I would not recommend this office to anyone looking for reliable and honest service."

"I am not an adventurous person. I am about as conservative and boring as they come. When it came time to buy a new car, I was just as surprised as anyone when I found my new car on the Carvana website. Not exactly a traditional car-buying experience! G. John Kirsch at State Farm made the entire insurance process an easy one. So easy that I had to call again today just to make sure that everything was indeed in place. And it was! I am pleased with how John explained the process and had me in my new car the day I picked it up. It's rare when life's bigger moments can actually be enjoyed more than dreaded. John made this life moment a memorable one for all the right reasons! Thank you."

"Claire is by far the best thing in personal lines insurance. I’ve worked at commercial insurance agency’s like Aon and have never had colleagues explain details of my policy quite the same way. She goes above and beyond to provide different scenarios and examples and is extremely responsive. 5+ stars for all interactions with Claire!"

"Claire Dugan is outstanding. She has been my family’s insurance agent (providing a variety of insurance products) for many many years- and she always goes above and beyond to get the best pricing and provide amazing customer service. As a bonus she is incredibly responsive and an absolute pleasure to work with. I would recommend her without any reservations to my friends and family!!"

"I have been with Jim Paterson and his staff, including Claire Dugan, for more than 20 years and find their professionalism and attention to detail to my accounts absolutely amazing. I highly recommend them for all your insurance needs."

"Stay away! one of the worst offices i have ever experienced , the office manager Claire is out of her mind in the way she talks to people and everyone else is absolutely not able to communicate things in a clear manner. I have filed a complaint against them. I would not recommend"

"Alejandro was very helpful with adding my son to the policy and helping me find ways to shave money off my premiums"

"I’ve worked with StateFarm for years and the service was fine. However, this year, I had the pleasure of working with John Kirsch. It was the best experience I’ve had working with an insurance agent. John is well-versed in all things insurance related. He was able to assist in a great way and helped me and my family affect changes in my our policies have already proven beneficial in all matters. John is communicative, attentive, and knowledge. I have recommended John to friends and family, even those already enrolled with StateFarm. Thank you, John! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Mr Alejandro Barnica is very helpful person and he helped me a lot to fix my app"

"I spoke to an agent named Alejandro this afternoon about my policy. Great guy and amazing service."

"We have been insured with State Farm through Jim Paterson's agency for almost a year now and have nothing but praise for them, especially for Alejandro, the agent that we deal with frequently. First, State Farm has given us substantial discounts. To earn some of the discounts we maintain apps on our phones and devices in our cars that monitor our driving and give us valuable feedback on how to be better drivers. I now have a habit of being much more conscious of how I drive and am a safer driver as a result. In addition, every time I call the Jim Paterson agency someone always answers immediately and Alejandro is not only always available to answer any questions or concerns but he is also pleasant to talk to, very knowledgeable, and decent. It is really easy to deal with Alejandro and this agency and the fact that we receive substantial discounts is quite a bonus! I would recommend them to anyone! We are safer drivers, pay less for insurance, and have help available whenever we need it. We could not ask for any more."

"I have been a loyal member of State Farm Insurance Company for over 60 years, and I can confidently say that my experience with their policies and services has been nothing short of exceptional. I would give them an A+ rating without hesitation. The agents at State Farm have consistently shown their unwavering support and extensive knowledge, going above and beyond to assist me whenever needed. Their valuable recommendations have helped me reduce the cost of my policies on multiple occasions. I am genuinely delighted with the level of service I have received from State Farm, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to be a part of their insurance family for all these years."
