  • I love Paul Murphy insurance. I have been a customer since 2004 upon first getting my license. I wouldn't dream of working with any other insurance agency. Paul Murphy insurance as far as I'm concerned is part of my family. I do more personal registration and insurance transactions through them per year then any normal sane human being should be a part of. They have known me on a first name basis for quite a while and know exactly what it means when I walk in the door. They have been above & beyond helpful and I've learned so much from them. I'll bet my bottom dollar when they see this review they'll know who this is. Have a wonderful day Paul Murphy crew you'll probably see me in about 2 months.

  • I've been with Paul T Murphy since 2005. My home, car and business liability insurance has gone through this agency. I've had a series of unfortunate matters over the past 2 years and they've helped me every step of the way. Stephanie is my usual point of contact. She is encouraging, caring and extremely informative. She always gets me the answers I need. Whatever help I need, she is always willing to provide support and instruction. Most importantly, she cares. She often just asks how things are going and provides warm customer service.

  • I have been with Paul T. Murphy insurance for years. I have recommended several friends and family members who are very happy with this company. We have our home ins., Liability ins., commercial vehicle coverage and also our personal auto coverage. Just recently my husband was involved in an accident and I was getting no where with the insurance carrier so I called Greg. He did everything he could for us. In the end it worked out due to him and all his hard work. I have also worked with Brian and Du on numerous occasions. They have always worked so hard at getting us the best insurance coverage for a best rate. The customer service there is a 5 star!
