Lakeside Insurance Partners is a father-daughter independent insurance agency headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois. We represent over 14 top-rated insurance carriers across personal, commercial, life, and specialty lines — which means when you call us, we're shopping the entire market on your behalf, not pushing a single company's products.
As an independent agency, our loyalty belongs entirely to you. We have no quotas to fill for any one carrier. Our only job is to find you the right coverage at the best possible price — and to be in your corner when you need us most, including at claims time.
"I started in this industry because I believe everyone deserves an advocate — someone who explains their options clearly, cuts through the confusion, and fights for their best interest. That's what we do every single day."
We serve individuals, families, and businesses throughout Illinois with a personal touch that the national carriers and online aggregators simply cannot match. Whether you're insuring your first car, protecting your home, securing your family's financial future with life insurance, or covering your growing business — we have a solution and a carrier partner for every need.
We are proud to offer bilingual service in both English and Spanish, reflecting the diverse communities we serve across the Chicagoland area and beyond.
Our mission is straightforward: to provide every client — individual or business — with honest guidance, competitive options, and long-term protection they can count on. We believe insurance should be easy to understand, affordable to maintain, and reliable when it matters most.
We don't just sell policies — we build relationships. When your circumstances change, when your family grows, when your business expands, we're here to review and update your coverage so you're never over-insured, under-insured, or caught off guard.
We take pride in being accessible, responsive, and transparent. You'll always get a real person when you call, and you'll always get a straight answer.
When you buy insurance through a captive agent — someone who only represents one company like State Farm or Allstate — your options are limited to whatever that one carrier offers. When you work with us, we have access to over 14 carriers, which means real competition for your business and real savings for your wallet.
Independent agents also provide a level of continuity that direct-to-consumer platforms can't match. We get to know you. We remember that your daughter just got her license, that your roof was replaced last year, and that your home business has grown. That context matters when it comes to making sure your coverage keeps up with your life.
And when you have a claim — the moment that insurance truly matters — you won't be navigating a 1-800 number alone. You'll have us.
From a single carrier to a full independent book — here's how Lakeside Insurance Partners was built.
Founded as a Farmers Insurance agency, beginning a career built on risk management, client advocacy, and community service in the Chicago area.
Transitioned to an independent agency model, expanding carrier relationships and growing a diverse book of personal and commercial lines business.
Added a role in aviation ground operations at O'Hare International Airport — deepening hands-on knowledge of risk, safety, and operations that informs the agency's commercial insurance expertise.
Relaunched as a premium independent agency with daughter Alexandra as operational partner. Now representing 14+ top-rated carriers across all personal, commercial, life, and specialty lines.
A growing agency committed to exceptional service, competitive pricing, and genuine client advocacy — in English and Spanish — for every stage of life.
We explain every policy in plain language. No jargon, no confusion, no fine print surprises. You'll always know exactly what you're buying and why.
We represent you, not any single carrier. That independence means we're always searching for the best option available — not the most convenient one for us.
From quote to claim, we're in your corner. When things go wrong, you won't face the insurance company alone — we'll guide you every step of the way.
Real people. Real answers. We're bilingual, responsive, and available when you need us — not just during business hours when it's convenient for us.
We live and work in the communities we serve. From Chicagoland to the suburbs, we're invested in the people and businesses that make Illinois great.
We give honest recommendations even when they're not the most profitable for us. If a policy isn't right for you, we'll tell you — and help you find one that is.
