About us

Peterson & Associates Insurance Agency, Inc is a multiple-carrier independent Insurance agency. We represent a variety of independent agent companies, giving our clients many options for home, auto, business and life coverage. We were founded in 1982 by Douglas Peterson. After working on the company side most of his early professional life, Doug decided to move to the agency side and set-up headquarters in Oak Park, IL. In 1999, Craig Peterson joined the agency and became full partners with Doug. In addition to selling insurance, Craig would run the day to day operations of the agency. Our father-son partnership was committed to providing quality insurance to our clients. In 2012 we moved our office to Western Springs, IL. Sadly, on November 24, 2017, our founder and my Dad passed away. We miss him dearly and strive to maintain the same standards of service he wanted to provide to our clients. Peterson & Associates is a family run business dedicated to selling a quality product and providing excellent service to our clients. Our number one goal is to make sure our clients understand what they are buying and have proper insurance coverage. We help to take the hassle out of insurance by giving you a one-stop approach to quoting your insurance needs and finding the best package for you. We can save you time and hopefully money all while giving you excellent coverage by getting quotes from multiple carriers.
