Serving Clients With Trusted Insurance Guidance Since 1936

For nearly a century, Max J. Pollack & Sons Insurance has built lasting client relationships through knowledgeable guidance, competitive insurance solutions, and personal service. The agency has helped individuals, families, and businesses across Brooklyn and the greater New York City area.

Our Journey

  • 1936

    Max J. Pollack earned his first insurance broker's license and began serving clients from his home in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.

  • Growing With Our Community

    As demand increased, the agency opened an office in Red Hook, Brooklyn, expanding its ability to serve the local community.

  • Continuing to Grow

    What began as a neighborhood agency gradually expanded to serve every borough of New York City and today extends throughout the Empire State and the greater New York City area.

  • Three Generations of Service

    Max’s sons—and now his grandson—have proudly continued the family tradition of providing competitive insurance products backed by attentive, one-on-one customer service.
