We are an independent insurance Agency located in Hackettstown, New Jersey and are licensed to do business in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut.  We do not work for an insurance company; we work for you.  We work on your side when you have a loss and follow through to see that you get fair, prompt payment and excellent service. 

Our Primary Objective

Our primary objective is to establish a partnership - between you, our Agency and the insurance company; to provide you with coverage, claim service and loss control services that are to our mutual benefit and profit. Our number ONE product is personal service; service specifically designed to control your insurance costs and reduce your losses.

We would like to become part of your insurance program, and to participate in the planned growth of your company by providing the best possible TOTAL insurance program.
