“[Adjoin] has partnered with Sam Brown/Rancho Mesa Insurance Services for our Workers Compensation policy since July 2013. In the five plus years of this partnership, we have maintained a long-term relationship with one insurance carrier and Sam continues to actively manage our account resulting in steady or reduced premiums. We appreciate that Sam’s commitment to [Adjoin] has not wavered over the years.”

"I really appreciate all that you do for our kids and their families."

Mike Austin, CFO, Friendship Shelter, Inc.

"Friendship Shelter is fortunate in the worker safety arena - we don’t get injured very often. When something does happen, though, it’s a little bit of a scramble. In mid-2017 our maintenance manager was cut on the job operating a circular saw. I got the call and the question – where do I go? “Circular saw”creates a serious mental picture. I called Sam Brown at Rancho Mesa who responded in moments with the Kaiser On-the-Job location nearest  our employee and treatment was rendered soon thereafter. In the end, there was no loss of limb or even lost time, but Rancho Mesa treated it like it was a major incident. That’s the kind of treatment we get no matter what the issue and why we love Rancho Mesa."

Andrew Simone, Providence Speech & Hearing Center

“Sam Brown elevated the appeal to the highest level when the state workers’ comp board wanted to change our workers’ comp class codes. He researched similar organizations, class definitions, and job duties to make the best possible argument in our favor. I’m certain he will never back down when advocating for Providence. Sam Brown’s careful attention to detail saves us money. The most recent example is an $18,000 error on our Workers’ Compensation audit. Thank you, Sam!”

"Through his never-ending persistence, Sam Brown was the only broker that came through with the perfect fit for our workers' compensation needs. He helped us prepare for an OSHA audit and wrote a letter to our carrier explaining our unique situation, which saved us $10,000. I would highly recommend starting with Rancho Mesa and Sam Brown whenever looking for your insurance needs; you won’t be disappointed."

Florence Andres, Associate Director of Human Resources, North County Lifeline

"Lifeline has been a client of Rancho Mesa Insurance for many years now, and I have to say, Sam Brown and his experienced team is one of the most professional and responsive insurance broker I ever dealt with. His proactive service and resourcefulness has been very helpful for our non-profit. He provides us with very detailed quotes and options to fit our specific needs. I’m always confident that he always has his clients’ best interest in mind. Here are examples of the extra services we receive from our “awesome” insurance broker:

• Supervisor/ safety training

• Using our 501c3 status to reduce OSHA assessments

• Anticipating our ex-mod and workers’ compensation costs six months in advance

• Management of new and open claims

• Using our safety programs to secure competitive pricing from multiple carriers"
