Where Relationships Drive Results

LeClair is more than an FMO. We've built a community where the independent agent always comes first. Beyond access to top-tier carriers, you get a dedicated team that understands the market as well as you do.

Who We Are

Big-Agency Muscle for the Local Advisor

It all started with a simple observation: independent agents driving this industry were being underserved by the organizations meant to support them. We decided to change that by building an agency that works as hard as they do.

Our mission

To ensure that every person in every community across the United States has a well-trained, well-supported health and life insurance agent to guide their needs.

Our vision

We strive to be the partner you choose, not just the contract you sign. We define our success by yours, giving you the weight of a big team while protecting the personal touch that built your business.

Our Story

Purpose in Every Partnership

Founded in 1932, LeClair began with a commitment to the independent agent. What started as a local agency has evolved to bridge the gap between the world's largest insurance carriers and the entrepreneurs who serve local communities.

As the insurance industry grew more complex, so did we. We've seen the industry evolve, and we've spent a century navigating its shifts so you don't have to.

Today, LeClair stands as the top-choice for thousands of agents across the country—providing services, expertise, and resources you can count on.
