We are so fortunate that Julia Burdick is our insurance agent. My wife and I would like to extend a huge “Thank You” for the outstanding service Julia has provided for our family.
Julia’s effort to meet all of our insurance needs has been great, and provides us peace of mind.
While her professionalism is wonderful, her ability to care about her clients is even better.
We appreciate the commitment and hard work Julia has demonstrated, and know our future is in good hands with Julia.

I must take a moment to let you know once again, how pleased I am with the service being provided to me by Patty Alvarez. Last summer I purchased a second home, and she was invaluable in helping me determine and purchase the “right” coverage. In addition, her heart is purely with your customers. She is so patient and because of that quality, as well as her outstanding expertise, she has now written every insurance policy that I have. She has worked diligently with me, on many occasions, to arrive at the most economical and necessary coverage for two of my residences, one income property, and my automobile.

My experience with NHC Insurance Services has been a delight. They handle my personal auto insurance needs. Every employee and management personnel holds a professional and friendly attitude towards their customers. Every time I call NHC with questions regarding my policy, they are quick to help me and provide me advice on my insurance needs.
Everybody there is very resourceful, but there is one person who has always helped me with excellent service. Renee Ruan has handled my auto insurance for the past 3~4 years. I have never encountered any problems or headaches regarding my auto policy. Bottom line, if you have insurance needs, I would highly recommend and use NHC Insurance Services as my representative.

Sunshine Justiniano began working for NHC back in 2003 as the front desk receptionist. One year later she obtained her Fire & Casualty Broker license and has been working in the Commercial Department ever since.
She is truly the back bone of the Commercial Department. Her helpful, sociable, and charismatic personality makes it easy for her to provide top tier service to her clients.
She likes the challenge that the constant evolution of insurance laws provides, always keeping her on her toes. Helping her clients and building business relationships is her favorite part of the commercial department.
Sunshine is a lifelong San Pedran. She has been happily married to her husband Rick for 19 years.
She loves spending time with her 3 children. Whether it be on the baseball / softball field, on vacation, or simply at home you will never see Sunshine without her family.

Although Sunshine knew about the huge problem regarding our Business Owners Insurance, she stepped right in and sorted things out.
Not only did she correct the problem with the current policy period but she also rectified a problem on the prior year’s audit. And in addition was able to stop the cancellation process that was already in motion and to become effective at 12:01am that evening.
She has been a terrific help and never once was even the slightest bit annoyed about any of it. Because of her, I will recommend anyone I know looking for Business Insurance to contact NHC Insurance. You have a real find, and should be proud of her.
