Lawley, an independent family-owned insurance broker and employee benefits firm, is proud to welcome Michele Luthi and John Weatherby to the Medicare Solutions division and David DiProsa to Lawley’s employee benefits division. Additionally, AJ Dolce will be expanding his current role as he will now be providing services in property and casualty insurance. These additions aid in several growth initiatives across the agency and through Lawley’s entire footprint.

 

As of June 1st, Dolce will assist individuals and businesses with property and casualty lines of insurance as well as Medicare solutions. Dolce has been with Lawley for five years and is skilled at creating dynamic relationships. Prior to Lawley, Dolce was the Mayor and Councilman for the City of Dunkirk. He currently serves as a council member for SUNY Fredonia and sits on the board for the Willowbrook Cemetery.

In addition to expanding the role of Dolce, Luthi and Weatherby will join Lawley’s Medicare Solutions division to assist individuals eligible for Medicare.

As a licensed and certified insurance agent and broker, Weatherby is authorized to advise and enroll eligible individuals in the Medicare and the New York State Individual Medical Marketplace. He brings five years of experience from roles at Highmark BlueCross BlueShield, Aquaphoenix Scientific, and LAB-AIDS Inc. He currently serves on the executive board of the Niagara Falls Umpire Association.

Luthi will also join Lawley’s Medicare Solutions Division, bringing 15+ years of experience from her time with Independent Health. She excels in developing relationships to provide proper health plan solutions and is known for her unique combination of being detail-oriented, sales-minded, and having exceptional interpersonal skills.

Joining Lawley’s employee benefits division, DiProsa will serve as a liaison between clients and carriers and work to provide the best-customized plan option to meet the client’s employee benefit needs. With 30+ years of experience, DiProsa is skilled in articulating information, developing successful relationships, and is passionate about assisting small and mid-sized businesses. He currently sits on the board of the Help Us Give Smiles Foundation (HUGS) and is a community ambassador for David’s Refuge, a Syracuse, N.Y.-based non-profit devoted to helping parents and guardians of special-needs children.

Lawley is continuously committed to developing individuals, especially those new to the insurance industry. In conjunction with increasing the Medicare and Employee Benefits divisions, Lawley welcomes several students as temporary support throughout the summer.

“I’m excited about the continued growth of our agency, especially with our Medicare and Employee Benefits divisions. Creating various opportunities and adding skilled individuals allows us to continue to provide the best health insurance benefits to clients and individuals,” says Chuck Allesi, partner of Lawley.

“We’re proud of AJ and his accomplishments with the Medicare team. He will be a mentor to Michele and John as he looks to further assist individuals with personal services. We look forward to continuing to see great things from AJ,” says Mike Lawley, Principal of Lawley.
