Our Story
We’re insurance specialists serving only Illinois lawyers. We were founded by lawyers. Our leadership is composed of lawyers. So we don’t answer to agents or stockholders. We answer only to our policyholders.
Our policyholders count on us for reasonable rates, superior client service and legal education. The fact that we offer CLE credits is an added perk.
