Protecting what you’ve worked so hard to build

That’s our objective here at Lawley. Personal and business insurance, risk management and employee benefits are the tools we use to do it.

It’s how we do it that sets us apart from so many other people in this business. We call it “The Lawley Difference.” It’s about getting below the surface to understand what’s keeping you up at night, then going above and beyond, bringing together the right resources to get you where you want to be – all with a passion and a commitment that you won’t find anywhere else.

History of Family Values

Founded by Edna and Ray Lawley, over 60 years ago, the company was built on a foundation of deeply-rooted family values and strong business ethics. Following Ray, William Lawley, Sr. became the catalyst for expanding the organization’s capabilities and footprint. Now, a third-generation family business, you can still see the fundamentals in our practice and people.

Building Relationships

We strive to be the partner of choice for customers, insurance carriers and employees looking for long-term relationships built on a foundation of trust. This is supported by Lawley’s core beliefs that help us act as voice and one vision.
