I am a Highpoint (Prudential) MA and found out that Allstate has really tightened up their underwriting guidelines. I would like to "team up" with anyone from Allstate to help each other out. We recently took rate increases in the worst of areas for us to take them in making Allstates "Prime" clients our worst to quote. Thinking I can pass them over to you and you can pass my office those you can not help. Please email me if you work for Allstate and are interested in working together! :)
I don't know any Allstate underwriters..but you may want to consider joining the Insurance Council of New Jersey or a similar organization. An organization like that might help you connect with people from other carriers.
