MDL Insurance Solutions is a family-owned independent agency with over 50 years of combined experience. We work for you — not for any single insurance company.

Our Story

Why we started MDL.

Before starting MDL Insurance Solutions in 2022, Brendan and his father spent decades working inside the insurance industry — learning the products, the carriers, and most importantly, what clients actually need when something goes wrong.

What they kept running into was the same problem: agents who were limited to one company's products, or sales models built around volume instead of fit. A client would come in with a real need and walk out with the closest available product — not necessarily the right one.

Starting MDL as an independent agency was the answer to that. As independents, we're not locked into any single carrier. We shop your risk across 100+ markets and bring you real options — not the one product we're required to sell.

We're licensed in Arizona, Iowa, and Missouri, with plans to expand as the agency grows. Whether you're a homeowner in Scottsdale, a contractor in Phoenix, or a small business owner in Des Moines — we work the same way: find the best fit, explain it plainly, and be there when you need us.

"We started MDL because we believed clients deserve real options and straight answers — not a sales pitch."

— Brendan Laing, Co-Owner

Why independent matters

We work for you, not for a carrier.

A captive agent at a single company can only offer that company's products. As an independent agency, we shop your risk across our entire market — and we're not done until we find the right fit.

🔍

We shop the market

100+ carrier markets means real competition for your business — and a better rate than any single carrier can offer.

🤝

We stay at renewal

We re-shop your coverage at renewal to make sure you're still getting the best rate — not just the path of least resistance.

📞

Real people, real answers

When you call, you get us — not a call center. We know your policy and we're here when something goes wrong.
