Our Agency Founder, Peter McLaughlin

He believed that insurance consumers deserved direct, personalized service. They also needed an independent insurance agency that worked for them not the insurance companies the agents represented.

Our Agency’s Beginning

In 1981, Peter McLaughlin established McLaughlin Associates Insurance Agency. He began his agency as a home-based business with an office in his basement. When the agency outgrew his basement, he relocated it to a commercial space and added staff to expand its reach. With room to accommodate additional licensed agents and support staff, McLaughlin Associates Insurance Agency began providing it’s community-focused services to surrounding areas.
