Our Company

Baker Birdwell, LLC was formed from the merger of Birdwell Insurance Group and Baker & Baker Company. Our Company specializes in providing solutions to your clients' disability income insurance needs. We support you in selling the need for coverage through the entire underwriting process all the way to policy delivery. We represent a group of highly rated insurance carriers, but these carriers do not employ us - we work for you. This allows us to locate the best coverage to meet your clients' unique needs, regardless of industry or occupations.

Whether it is an individual policy, a supplemental policy to group LTD, a Business Overhead Expense policy, or a policy to fund a buy-sell agreement, we are here to help.
