About us

An independent agency in Hingham since 1979.

The agency has carried John Lawless’s name since 1979. Today it’s John and Brian Lawless, and when you call or email, we answer.

Colonial homes on the South Shore

“Insurance is not just a purchase, it’s peace of mind.”

Why independent matters

We’re not owned by an insurance company. We represent several of them.

So when your renewal comes in higher than you expected, we can shop it across the companies we write with. We don’t just tell you that’s the price. A captive agent has one company’s rate to offer you. We have a few, and we do the comparing.

What we do all day

Most of it isn’t selling. It’s the paperwork that comes after:

  • The certificate of insurance a general contractor wants this afternoon
  • The ID card for the glove box
  • The Registry form stamped so the car can get plates
  • Proof of insurance for a lender before a closing
  • A claim after a nor’easter

After more than four decades on the South Shore, we already know your account when you call. The person who answers is the person who fixes it.

What we insure

Home, auto, condo, coastal and flood, boat, umbrella, business and life insurance.

Many of our homes are near the water: Hull, Scituate, Cohasset and the Hingham shore. We write coastal homes with many companies, and we know which ones will write on your street.

Three things to check on your own policy

1. Flood isn’t in your homeowners policy

No homeowners policy covers flooding from the sea, a storm surge or a river. That’s a separate flood policy, and floods happen outside the mapped zones too. If you’re anywhere near the water, ask us what your address needs.

2. An umbrella costs less than you think

A lawsuit can run past the liability limit on your home or auto policy. An umbrella policy adds a million dollars or more on top of both. If you have teen drivers, a pool, a dock, a boat or a rental unit, ask us.

3. Is your house insured for what it would cost to rebuild?

Ask yourself: if the company wrote a check for the amount on the policy today, would it rebuild the house? Construction and labor costs change, and a limit set a few years ago may not keep up.

We can run the number with you. We won’t change your policy without your say-so. The review is free, and the decision is yours.
