Let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of purchasing insurance much less shopping for it. BKS has made me a believer that private risk advisors can actually be very engaged, helpful and supportive in finding the right programs for you. Michelle Couture has been our advisor and has not only been very insightful but also extremely responsive to all our needs.

The Portillo Family could not be happier with Michelle overseeing our personal insurance program. She is a true asset to BKS and we look forward to our continued relationship with her and BKS.

The worst company I've ever known. BKS holds very little value in their employees despite claiming to be a modern and welcoming environment. I've known 2 commercial department employees quit because of the continued miscommunication about work expectations and taking needed time off for sick family members. I've witnessed clients get taken advantage of for their coverage. Baldwin Krystyn Sherman Partners, LLC has no solid work structure and a high turn over rate with employees and clients. Please be cautious when considering BKS, if you care about your money, time, and sanity.

My husband and I recently consolidated our multiple insurance policies from various companies all to BKS. We worked directly with Jennifer Fell Berry who made the transition stress free and seamless. I cannot say enough great things about Jennifer. She is extremely customer oriented a true insurance expert.

The team at BKS takes the insurance experience to another level. The advisors truly care about their clients, are passionate about them having the proper coverage and are extremely knowledgeable about the overall insurance industry. The experience has been very personal and enjoyable, which is not how I would describe my previous interactions with insurance companies and agents (I say agents because I never spoke to the same person when calling).

Most important, everything was thoroughly explained to me from the beginning. My advisor delved into the details of my current policies and uncovered exposures to risk and gaps in my coverage that I was unaware of. And all I had to do was email my policy declaration pages for them to review. I was not properly covered at all and I had no idea! I cannot thank the team and my personal advisor enough! BKS has a client for life!

My husband and I bought life insurance through BKS Partners Tampa. We worked with Jordan Loebel who was incredibly knowledgeable and made the process seamless. I would recommend BKS Partners Tampa and Jordan Loebel to anyone looking for life insurance or additional insurance services.

BKS handles all of our medical benefit needs at Stonebridge Country Club. Their staff is knowledgeable, prompt and always so courteous! I highly recommend BKS to handle your company's medical benefits needs.

BKS handles all of the insurance for my growing real estate business and the complicated issues that arise with workers' compensation. The prompt, professional, insurance, business, and HR advice is 100 percent on point every time. Even though my account is minor one for BKS, which services so many individuals and businesses throughout Florida and beyond, I am treated like a best friend or family member.

On every call and in every email, the customer service is consistently above expectations. BKS gives me the confidence that all the bases are covered, year in and year out. Love this company.

Taxes. Dentist. Meeting girl's father on 1st Date. Most people would agree that these things would be universally avoided if possible. Throw in insurance and the list is complete. This is why working with BKS is such a refreshing joy. Imagine a smile on your face when you have to renew your policy. Imagine the comfort you feel when a BKS personal policy review results in stronger coverage without a premium increase.

Rest assured that as your teenager begins to drive that your potential risk liabilities are covered and planned for. These are not the usual feelings one thinks of when having to deal with insurance. BKS, Laura Sherman and her team make me feel that way everyday.

True Professionals. Their owners are ethical and work hard to properly protect your assets. I highly recommend them. They provide a large variety of products and therefore can use them in different combinations to give the coverage that you want and need.
