Ever since he was a teenager, State Farm independent contractor agent Michael Garey dreamed of being his own boss but was unsure of what kind of business to pursue. "In college, I ended up switching my major, graduating with a degree in finance and then jumped into the banking world at the age of 21. As a loan officer, I was exposed to a wide variety of businesses and got to know other business owners. During a work event, a State Farm agent introduced me to the opportunity. Having been a State Farm customer for many years, the more I learned, the more it opened a door I never knew existed.” Michael reflects on his career as a State Farm agent and shares what keeps him motivated. "When I opened my second location 17 years after my first office, it wasn't because I needed more to do. It was the drive to reach even just one more person and help make a difference in their life. Although it took a lot of time and effort to build my career and future, I would do it all over again if given the chance."

2wStateFarm has held me and my claim hostage. I was hit by a crazy driver insured by statefarm who hit my mecedes benz and tried to drive off, thankfully a Police Officer was there and caught him. I have the police report and got and estimate which was statefarm instructed me to do. Now I have been trying to get the money for the estimate and they only want to pay out 1/4 of the cost. What makes matters worse is I have spoken to a manger named Tony today who had the audacity to say your car doesnt need all those repairs and the I wont be able to get anything until they contact the guy who hit my car(who refuses to pick up the phone) even though there is a police report saying he did. I have been treated like crap.....worse. Then they try to low ball you after they tell you to get an estimate done. Its sickening and disgraceful I would not recommend this company to anyone. More so I am getting ready to call my lawyer/Progressive to persue this in court. I have been treated worse than trash by statefarm.
