Average Rating
Dean saved us a significant amount on our malpractice coverage while actually improving our policy terms. He reviewed our existing policy, identified gaps we didn't know we had, and found a carrier that fit our practice perfectly. It's rare to find a broker who does that kind of due diligence.

More Client Experiences

As a CPA firm, our E&O exposure is real. Dean understood our specific risks immediately and placed us with exactly the right carrier at a rate our previous broker couldn't come close to matching. The whole process was fast and painless.

Accountants Professional Liability
We switched our workers' comp and general liability to Canyon Interstate after a referral from another business owner. Dean handled everything — certificates, audits, renewals. I don't think about insurance anymore, which is exactly what I wanted.

General Liability & Workers Comp
Our dental practice had a complicated claims history that made getting coverage difficult. Dean worked through it with us, explained our options clearly, and got us placed at a fair premium. He advocated for us in a way our previous broker never did.

Dental Malpractice
Cyber liability is a must for any tech firm, but finding a policy that actually covers what matters is harder than it sounds. Dean knows the tech space and helped us build a program that covers our SaaS product and client data obligations. Highly recommend.

Technology & Cyber Liability
I called Dean on a Friday afternoon about a certificate request that was holding up a contract. He had it sorted and delivered the same day. Responsiveness like that is rare in any industry, let alone insurance.

Commercial General Liability
We needed EPLI coverage quickly after expanding our team. Dean explained what to look for in a policy — I had no idea how much variation there was between carriers. We ended up with strong coverage and he walked us through it thoroughly.

Employment Practices Liability
Dean has been our broker for three years. Every renewal he shops our coverage and brings back real options — not just a rubber stamp. His knowledge of the California market is excellent and he's always easy to reach.

Professional Liability
When our general liability carrier non-renewed us, Dean found us a replacement within 48 hours. No gap in coverage, and the new policy was actually less expensive. That's the kind of broker relationship every business owner needs.

Business Insurance
What separates Dean from other brokers I've worked with is that he actually reads the policy. He caught a coverage exclusion on our tech E&O that could have been catastrophic if we'd had a claim. That attention to detail is priceless.
