Nearly 50 years
of protecting
what matters.
J. Cazares & Associates was built on a simple promise: find every client the best coverage at the lowest cost, treat them with respect, and still be here for them decades later. That promise hasn't changed since 1977.
A family-built agency with a national footprint.
J. Cazares & Associates was founded in Brea, California with a mission to bring professional-grade commercial insurance to small and mid-sized business owners — especially those who had historically been underserved or overlooked by larger carriers.
Today, we serve business owners across the United States from our original Brea location. Our bilingual team speaks English and Spanish fluently, and we treat every client like a neighbor — because most of them are.
We're not a franchise or a 1-800 number. We're a real office, with real people, who will pick up the phone when your business needs us most.
