MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Hey, I'm James Isbell!

James is a licensed independent insurance agent who built Isbell Insurance Group around a simple idea: a business owner should be able to reach the person who actually handles their policy. He also co-founded C&J Isbell Brokerage, the family's health and Medicare agency, and runs South Shelby Connectors, a weekly business networking group in Calera.

Our Approach

What we believe, put plainly

"You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

A lot of insurance is sold on fear of what might happen. We'd rather help you control what you actually can: the coverage you carry, the carrier you're with, and whether your policy matches how your business really runs. That's the only part of risk you get to manage directly — so that's where we put our attention.

How We Operate

Three principles behind every policy we write

Independent

We work for you, not a carrier

We're not captive to one insurance company. We shop the market and bring back the options that actually fit your risk.

Direct

No call center, ever

When you call, you get James, Christina, or someone on our small team who already knows your account.

Ongoing

Coverage isn't "set and forget"

We review your policy every year, because a business that's growing or changing needs coverage that keeps up.

We split our expertise so every client gets a specialist, not a generalist juggling both.
