(93 Reviews)- July 10, 20255.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0GOOD CUSTOMEER SERVICE, FEELS LIKE FAMILY
- July 10, 20255.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0Excellent
- July 9, 20254.0 out of 5.0Rating 4.0Bankers life is a great company with amazing leaders like Farshad. Bankers is a very generous company and I would recommend it to anyone. The only reason I gave a 4 stars instead of 5 stars is the process of pended business is long with no direct access to underwriting or information without going through the BOA. Paramed.com is the cause many of those delays.The process is a bit cumbersome. Overall it is a great comapny with lots of oportunity.
- June 19, 20255.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0Dariush was so professional and very sincere, which eased my hesitancy about discussing long-term care. He explained it very simply and then supported the basic ideas with meaningful detail.
I am so glad at having applied for it—my family and I feel as if we have checked off another box toward protecting our financial futures. - April 8, 20255.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0Always helpful..

Very humble person - March 12, 20255.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0Best agent I ever had
- January 10, 20255.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0I have had the privilege of working with Bankers Life in Los Angeles for over 10 years, and it has truly been one of the best decisions of my life. I am passionate about our Long-Term Care program, which I not only have for myself and my family but also offer to countless clients to help protect their assets and secure their future. The satisfaction of knowing I’ve helped so many people plan for the unexpected is incredibly rewarding.
What makes my work even more fulfilling is the trust my clients place in me. Their appreciation for the service I provide often leads to referrals, which has been a true blessing. In addition to the personal satisfaction, Bankers Life rewards us for our hard work with bonuses, vacation trips, and much more.
I am proud to be part of our Los Angeles office, one of the top offices in the country. This success is a direct result of the strong and selfless leadership of Farshad Asl, an internationally recognized motivational speaker, author, and leadership coach. His guidance and mentorship inspire us all to give our best.
I’m incredibly grateful to be part of such a dedicated team, helping people protect their futures and achieve peace of mind. - January 8, 20255.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0The help they gave us was great.
- December 25, 20245.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0Thank you Shimon Brosihsky for your time and effort. Appreciate your dedication and professionalism.
Not only are you a great agent but a a great friend as well.
Always good to talk with you.
Have a blessed Christ Day and GOD BLESS you and yours. - November 19, 20245.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0She is very knowledgeable and patient
- November 5, 20245.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0I have been involved with insurance as an agent off & on for 30 years. I know how agents work. This December, I turned 65, and going through the changes that are required is tedious and could be misleading. I called upon Veronique because briefly, I saw how she treated her clients as a co-worker. It was amazing and would go out of her way to help them even if there was no benefit to her. Her ethics, affection for her clients, knowledge of industry & policies, & her calm demeanor are admirable.
- October 31, 20245.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0Thank you for the information on everything!! Thank you
- October 28, 20245.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0Great
- October 16, 20245.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0I'm very pleased with the long term care policy from BankersLife (although I really hope not to use it).
- October 10, 20245.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0Excellent customer service
- October 9, 20245.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0Great customer service.
- October 9, 20245.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0Awesome place to work. They give you all the tools necessary to succeed. You need to actually complete the leg work. What you put into it is what you will get out of it. Don’t forget they will not do the work for you! You need to do that part.
- July 31, 20245.0 out of 5.0Rating 5.0Very thorough and happy to explain what I needed clarification on. Willing to spend the time necessary. Very kind.

Find out how Bankers Life long-term care insurance can offer you or a loved one the flexibility and independence you deserve. Someone may need long-term care if they can no longer perform activities of daily living on their own (such as eating, bathing, dressing, or taking medications). These assisted care needs usually arise as part of the normal aging process, but can also occur as a result of injury, illness, or cognitive impairment. Long-term care can be costly and Medicare may not cover many of the expenses. Long-term care insurance pays benefits for assisted care services received at a facility or at home
