"I contacted Fox Financial Group because I was concerned with my retirement income. Not having a pension, I wanted to be sure my savings would provide a secure income after retirement. Jim showed me several annuities which guaranteed a lifetime income, and provided an upfront bonus when I made my initial deposit. I am now enjoying retirement."

"After I was laid off, I invested my retirement in mutual funds; however, when the stock market crashed, my plans to receive a monthly dividend faded, and my initial principal investment began to shrink. A friend suggested that I contact Jim Fox to determine if he could help me. Jim is very personable, and he understands what the client wants to achieve, and he is truly interested in enabling them to realize their financial goals."
Ken Rusthoven
Assistant Vice President (Retired)
Mid America Bank
"Jim sat down with me and really understood what my financial and insurance needs were. He educated and taught me on the options I had and I went with his recommendations. He is in the "teaching business" and provides information that really helps you make the proper decision. His greatest service is he listens to your concerns. He gives you options and then you decide; he is not pushing products. He gives you what you need and not what you don't. As a salesman myself, I am delightfully pleased how he has gone the extra mile. Just sit down with Jim and you will see he is working in your best interest."
Joe Niego
Owner
Niego Real Estate
"Initially we exchanged information via email and over the phone. Once sufficient details were understood, Jim did his research to come up with the best options given our situation. Jim arrived exactly on time and was very professional, friendly, and helpful. Jim approaches his work with enthusiasm and professionalism that was much appreciated. It became clear he has vast experience in financial services. He has given us exceptional service and we couldn't be happier with the experience."
Mark Wawers
IT Manager
"Thank you very much for alerting us on the charges and fees that are not apparent on our statements from our mutual funds. Since we have changed the setup of this account, we are not paying almost $4,000 a year. There were 11 different but similar mutual funds in this account and we shortened them to six. My experience with you has been enjoyable and I will certainly give your company a great reccomendation to others."
Gerald Blaylock

"Jim is fantastic. He spent a ton of time up front understanding our goals and current plans. He then put together a plan very specific to what we needed – not just what he wanted to sell. I’ve always avoided getting professional financial advice, because I didn’t want a cookie cutter approach. I feel like Jim really listens."
Chris McKillip

"Upon invitation, Mr. Fox himself visited my home and provided financial alternatives for better use of my available funds. Then he followed up to make sure I had a clear understanding and had no further questions. Any questions I had, he provided answers either immediately or with verifiable resources... which I did check. When I signed the contract, he took the time to explain the entire document and answer questions. He followed my purchase as closely and professionally as any I have ever known. The products offered were top rated. So goes for the man and his favorite staff member, Sharon. People of integrity."
Howard Berney
"My wife, Beverly, and I could not be more pleased with the insurance and investment work Jim did for us. He is incredibly knowledgeable, he is personable, and most importantly to us, he is willing to take all the time needed for us to understand EXACTLY what we are purchasing and why. Jim is patient and honest."
Larry Pauly

"I've worked with Jim for several years now. The best way to describe him is he is very personable and high quality. He listens to your concerns, ideas, and does not push you. He's pleasant to work with and follows through with what he says. Nowadays, that is really rare. He returns calls promptly and is always on time. He has not only helped me and my family, but also my mother as well. I liked the way he handled her and that is what helped us decide to work with him. I suggest you make an appointment with Jim... you will not be dissappointed."
Nora Barler
"Taking advantage of an early retirement opportunity, I left the working world in 1987. My wife and I needed insurance, which Jim secured. He then asked if we are familiar with annuities. And to be honest, not really. Knowing that one of my co-workers had one, we decided to secure one with Jim. We could not be happier, and I would recommend annuities as a very sound investment with excellent growth and security. I highly recommend Jim Fox as a professional and knowledgeable agent."
Chuck Novotny
"For many years now, and continuing to do so, we have received caring, professional, and prompt advice and services from Jim, that best suit our present and future needs."

"Jim is a wonderfull fella to do business with. I have worked with him for many years. He has helped us with our insurance, investments, and estate planning and we used his attorney as well. I couldn't have asked for or trusted anyone more than him. He returns my call ASAP, which is what I like. If someone were to ask me for a recommendation, I would say I trust him 100%.
Richard Campagna

"Honest, outgoing, forward, and he gives you this feeling that you have known him your whole life. He is nice to work with, doesn't come on strong, and explains everything in detail in your words so you know what you are doing. Get your "feet wet" with him, you will probably learn alot. You can't go wrong with Jim."
