Don Lathrop Jr. is by far the very best insurance agent I have every had for my personal and business needs over the last 47 years and 6 ins. agents. He will answer his phone most every time I call him, and if he missed my call, he will call back as soon as he gets the VM or text. He is so willing to find the best fit for all my insurances needs, both price and for what my personal and business needs require. He and his entire staff are amazing, and It is very apparent why his agency is growing so fast. They all give you outstanding service.Tim Barthelemy,Independent Public Adjusters, LLCTim Barthelemy Consulting, LLC

Extremely friendly and helpful! Zach is very professional, efficient and helps with any questions and/or concerns at any time! Most insurance agencies are hard to get a hold of but Zach is always right on top of it! My husband use to work for them years ago and the owners are amazing! Friendly and welcoming of us "new comers". Not only is the staff awesome but the prices are hard to beat. We have continued to be clients because of the prices! I highly recommend this company to everyone!

Great Lakes Insurance has been great! Zach Walters is my agent. He walked me threw my first time having insurance and when I bought a new car he responded and had me a new policy within 24 hours! Makes sure I get the best for the cheapest. Wonderful service I will not insure threw anyone else.

We have had auto, homeowner, ATV, motorhome and rental insurance with Great Lakes for over 25 years. In recent years, CSR Denise has assisted us with all our questions and pricing. She is a GEM, always professional and willing to help. I highly recommend Great Lakes, can’t find GREAT customer service like she provides!

We are absolutely amazed with the service we have received, and only wish we made a move to them earlier. Don is awesome, and explained everything to us like no other agent has ever done before. Thanks again for everything!

I actually wanted to see how good my rates were and I asked a few others to quote me apples to apples. None of them could touch my price. Not to mention they are always quick to respond to anything I need. So great customer service and great rates!!! Highly recommended.

Zach showed a real interest in our business. He found us an insurance policy that other insurance companies were either unable or unwilling to find. Zach showed an evenness of temper and a tenacity for solving our insurance concerns. He waited until my wife understood all aspects. On top of the great service, working with Zach saved us several thousand dollars.

Zach went out of his way to help our business find insurance last year after we were notified that our insurance was to be cancelled. We greatly appreciated his efforts. It is very evident to me that Zach is passionate about helping others. Since then, I haven't hesitated to recommend Zach and Great Lakes Insurance to other business owners I know and will continue to do so.
