I have had an excellent experience with Michael. He had reached out to me after I spread a net for an agent on Yelp. Initially, I was extraordinarily cautious because I knew Long Term Care policies were kind of a land mine and Insurance salesmen in general don't have a great reputation. Michael is a straight shooter who worked hard to gain my trust through clear examples, good math, and transparency. I never felt that he was trying to force a sale. He made himself available to answer questions. He provided excellent guidance and always seemed to offer a little extra care and attention. Even five years later, he responded to me nearly immediately when I had a question. He is a wealth of information and is able to make solid referrals, when there are insurance issues beyond his scope. read more

It was so refreshing doing business with Michael. What a charming, direct and honest man. He was so professional and clear on his expectations. He knows his business. Secondly, let me tell you that I hate our newer era of life. People are mean, cruel, selfish, greedy and just unpleasant. So i was so relieved to have this experience with a real professional person that doesnt oversell or undersell. If you google HONESTY, you will probably find a picture of Michael and Boxer Insurance. Thank you :) read more

Great guy and super knowledgeable. Thanks Michael read more

I've known and worked with Michael Bokser for 8 years, and not only is he incredibly knowledgeable on the complexities of the insurance world, he is more importantly a man of integrity who puts people first, everytime. I've gone to him for advice through the years and he's always been thoughtful and thorough and generous with his time. He's a compassionate man who goes to bat for his clients with the insurance companies when necessary, and always tries to find the best option for me, whether or not there is money in it for himself. Obviously, I cannot recommend him more highly. read more

Buying life insurance through Boxer Insurance Services was a bad experience start to finish. The problems I had with Michael Bokser are no doubt systemic to life insurance agency in general. Just because someone is your agent does not mean he is required by law to place your interests above his own or those of the companies he represents. However, I expected more from Michael Bokser, given that he was recommended by my trusted financial planner. On a Positive Note: Michael was always very courteous and responsive answering emails and calls, and he certainly made sure we got our paperwork done when it came to cementing the policy. He's a nice guy... But overall, my financial planner really whiffed on this recommendation. Here's why. Strike One: I told Michael up front that what I wanted was term life insurance and long term disability insurance for my wife and me. Instead of taking the ball and running with it, Bokser wasted my time and tried my patience trying to sell me whole life insurance. Even after I'd indicated my disinterest, he kept raising the subject. Extremely off-putting. Strike Two: All through the process of securing term life insurance, when I asked questions, Michael often answered the question he wanted to answer instead of the question I had asked. Life is literally too short to defend against this annoying sales / misdirection tactic. This is where I should have gotten off the bus, so shame on me. Strike Three: Michael steered us toward American General Life (1-star rated on consumeraffairs! ... no online interface! ... Kafkaesque customer service!) A 1980s-style customer service operation might have been forgivable, but the unforgivable sin is that this company's underwriting was uniquely unsuited to my profile and my wife's profile. This is where an agent could have delivered real value assessing our profiles and then pre-vetting various companies' underwriting tendencies. But Bokser steamrolled toward American General ... and terrible (probably avoidable!) underwriting outcomes. What does this mean in real English? My wife most likely should have qualified for the highest tier, but instead ended up in a lower tier. Cost: hundreds of dollars a year and thousands over the life of the policy. A similar outcome happened with my policy. I obviously can't speak directly to underwriting results, but I can speak to the fact that Bokser had no process and no initiative to help put us in the best-possible underwriting position. Post facto, I had to hound him to get an explanation for the bad outcome from American General. Strike Four/Last Straw: I needed to make a change to my wife's policy with American General, so I contacted Michael. He indicated we'd need to contact the company and handle ourselves. We did, and American General told us we needed to sign a form in the presence of our agent. So, after that wasted phone call, I wrote Michael back to request he appear to sign the form with us. He replied: "American General has an office in Woodland Hills. I don't represent them any longer. Best you go online to find them. Sorry I can't help you any longer." To Sum up: Michael Bokser opened up our relationship trying to sell me a policy I didn't want or need; he answered questions like a sphinx instead of an advocate; he didn't make any effort to get us the best underwriting; didn't proactively offer explanations or helpful insights; and finally, Michael Bokser abandoned me to my fate with the janky insurance company he steered me to in the first place. Looking for life insurance? I'd look elsewhere for an agent. And if I had it to do over again I'd start online with a service like Quotacy. read more

I went to Michael Bokser, President of Boxer Insurance and had a sit-down meeting to discuss disability insurance. He could have just sold me a quick Aflac policy, took his money and ran, but instead he really took the time to get to know my needs and made suggestions which presented me with a much greater value such as combining disability with life insurance which was only about a $20 difference, but the amount of coverage and safety net for my family this could provide would be vast (and I could always reduce or eliminate the life insurance once it seasoned a year or two and just keep the disability). I suggest to anyone, please have a chat with Michael and let him review your insurances. read more

My husband and I were looking for some life insurance. We called Michael Bokser @ Boxer Insurance. To be honest we were preparing ourselves for a pushy sales person. However, we got everything but pushy. Michael was so easy going. He made himself available around our schedule. He explained everything and gave us different options. He's honest. He wasn't just trying to make a buck. He wanted us to make the best decision for our family. Highly recommend Michael! read more
