About Us

We have been protecting families since 2009.

Everguard is an independent insurance agency built on a simple idea: families and businesses deserve an advocate who puts their interests first. For over 15 years, we have been shopping the market, comparing carriers, and fighting for better coverage at lower prices — so our clients never have to settle for less than they deserve.

Our Story

Built on a promise to do right by our clients.

In 2009, our founders Michael Harrington and Laura Chen left careers at two of the nation largest captive insurance agencies. They had watched too many families get sold policies they did not need and denied claims they should have won. They started Everguard with three agents, one carrier partnership, and a conviction that insurance should work for the policyholder — not against them.

Fifteen years later, Everguard has grown to a team of 35 licensed professionals working with over 50 top-rated carriers. We have written more than 15,000 policies and handled over 40,000 claims for families and businesses across all 50 states. We have opened a second office in Stamford and launched a full digital platform for quoting, claims tracking, and policy management.

But the values have never changed. Every agent at Everguard still operates under the same founding principle: recommend only the coverage the client truly needs, fight for every claim, and never stop shopping for a better rate. That is the Everguard difference — and it is why 98 percent of our clients stay with us year after year.

These are not slogans on a wall — they are the principles our agents live by every day, in every client interaction, on every claim.

Integrity First

We earn your trust through transparency. No hidden fees, no surprise exclusions — just honest coverage recommendations based on what you actually need, not what pays us the highest commission.

We have been with Everguard for eleven years and have never once considered switching. Our agent Mark reviews our coverage every year without us even asking and has saved us thousands over the past decade by catching overlapping policies and finding discounts we did not know existed. It feels like having a financial advisor just for insurance.

When my basement flooded during a storm, my previous insurer tried to deny the claim by calling it groundwater seepage. I switched to Everguard and my new agent Tom reviewed the old claim, identified that the denial was incorrect, and helped me file an appeal that resulted in a full payout. I did not even know that was possible. Tom went to bat for me like it was his own home.

As a small business owner, I was overwhelmed trying to figure out what commercial coverage I actually needed. My Everguard agent Lisa spent two hours walking me through general liability, professional liability, and workers comp — and she was honest about which policies I could wait on. She saved me from overinsuring when I was just starting out and scaled my coverage up as we grew.
