JAMES LYNCH INSURANCE AGENCY has been committed to a high level of customer service. Today, president Maura Lynch says she believes that the agency's extraordinary service and dedication is what has kept generations of customers loyal to the agency since her father, A. James Lynch, founded it in 1952. "My father was my initial inspiration, challenging me to run the insurance agency he started 25 years prior," Lynch says. "To his delight and mine, we never looked back and have experienced tremendous growth and success." The agency, which serves Massachusetts and New Hampshire, prides itself on taking the time to review customers' coverage and really understand their needs. And since A. James Lynch Insurance Agency is independent and not tied to one particular company, it's able to place coverage with companies that match customers' needs and budgetary requirements.
