Mike Lansford and the friendly and competent staff at Independent Insurance Counselors in Alvin have been serving our family for over 20 years. Having used them for our homeowners, automobile and health insurance needs, they have helped us deal with issues small (fender benders) and large (Hurricane Ike).

I have been doing business with Independent Insurance Counselors for many years. I have my home and car insurance through them. They are very efficient and thorough and I would not think of having any other company handle my insurance affairs. They have always done a great job for me.
Debra Fischer
I have been a happy customer of Independent Insurance Counselors for years now and the staff must certainly be hand picked for knowledge, courtesy, friendliness and among many other fine qualities, their eagerness to stay on top of making sure their customers always have the lowest rates. I have always been that person who feels a bit of resentment paying for a service you never use or hope you never need but with Independent I always feel like my money’s going a long way.

Amber Stavinoha
Went to Independent Ins. Counselors after being with my Ins.co. for 40 yrs.. they changed hands and my premiums went off the charts. They would not work with me. The counselor Rhonna at Independence worked so hard and saved me somewhere around $1,000 a year between my home owners and car policies. Thank you guys.
Gladys Dekenipp
Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They explained the different coverages to us and then shopped the numerous companies they represent to find us the best deal to meet our needs. We are very satisfied with the service Independent Insurance Counselors provides. They handle our home, auto and life insurance.

When I call and talk to Becky I get great service. I've been talking with her for years. Dedicated %1000.
A Ernst
Got us the coverage we needed.
David Boren
I was really impressed with how detailed Mike was going over each option individually. When evaluating car insurance in the past, there was no good way to know how different choices affect the premium you pay, but Mike went through methodically and made sure I had the best coverage for the money. I got better coverage for the things I needed (and removed stuff I didn't need) and saved a lot of money.
Bobby Guy
I had an excellent experience with Independent Insurance Counselors. I am new to Texas and needed to revise my auto insurance to comply with Texas. Rhonna Benbrook was very friendly, professional, and helpful in getting everything taken care of. Thank you Rhonna & Independent Insurance Counselors.
Frances Huff
Mike Lansford recently helped us with Medicare Part B and D supplemental insurances. In fact, all of our insurance is through Independent Insurance Counselors. Mike and his staff have always been of great help, and, we have been with them for many years. You cannot go wrong in getting them to assist you with any of your insurance needs.

If I could give 10 stars I would. These are the best people I have ever done business with. They have been taking care of my insurance needs for about 20 years and after Harvy they cane through 110 percent.
James Bailey
I moved from Houston, TX to Alvin, TX. I bought a new modular home and had it set within the city limit. The insurance agent, whom I used for several years before, didn't know what to do to get insurance for a modular home. I contacted Insurance Counselors for help. They knew what to do right from the beginning. In the end I got home owner insurance and flood insurance through Independent Counselors. Since then, I have visited the office on several occasions for other help. Always, everyone has been helpful and courteous. Highly recommended; a 5-Star service.

Kevin Duke
Mariana was so helpful to lead us through the confusion of finding the best insurance for us to protect our home. Not only did she find us the best benefits, but she also led us to the best rates available for us. She cheerfully answered our many questions and explained what we didn't understand. We are so grateful we walked into the office that day and will certainly return when the need arises. Thank you, Mariana and Independent Insurance Counselors for your excellent service.

Sherron Sears
I was in panic mode on Windstorm it was going up and they wanted me to jump thru hoops to renew. I mentioned it to a friend who said call my guy he always treats me great. So I called and spoke to Amber S. explained my problem , who my mortgage was thru and my short time line. After I dropped my old policy off and a few questions she said she would do her best. Well her best was outstanding. I not only saved money with just about the same coverage better in fact. She delivered excellent customer service helping me with a difficult mortgage company and getting it done quick. Give them a call

Mike and his staff are professional and were able to save our business over 40% compared to what we had been paying for years. I highly recommend Independent Insurance Counselors for commercial insurance, auto insurance, workers compensation...and any other insurance needs you may have!
Nikki Pope
Mike Lansford and his friendly staff are all experienced and knowledgable. They handled my company's business insurance. His team worked hard to find me the best coverage for my specific needs while not trying to upscale to things that i didn't need like most carriers do. I appreciated all their all their efforts. They were so honest that I changed over my auto and home policy as well!I highly recommend them for auto, homeowners & commercial insurance.

The staff always strives to give us the very best service and it is always a pleasure to do business with them. They serve all of our insurance needs and I anticipate will do so for many years to come.

It has been said that to begin a new business you will need three (3) critical advisors. These are:• A Flexible Banker• An Honest Accountant• An Insurance AgentThe MOST important (in my humble opinion) is the Insurance connection– especially if your company requires Bonding and Workman’s Comp.I meet Michael J. Lansford at a networking event when I returned to Houston in 2005. After establishing a personal relationship, I subsequently moved my Homeowners and Automobile insurance policies to his organization. It was Michael (hereinafter to be referred as “HOLLYWOOD”) whom I trusted to provide guidance when starting a new business venture in June 2011. Hollywood was an invaluable mentor and excellent tutor for my newly formed construction company – leading me thru the various Start-Up obstacles and limited cash flow issues. As the company matured, Hollywood and his experienced and stable staff have been instrumental in the growth process. Furthermore; as our company continues to expand, I will trust that Independent Insurance Counselors and Hollywood will remain an integral part of our organization.The professionalism and personal connection that Hollywood and his staff display are impressive and extremely important to me.If you have an opportunity to meet with Mike for a consult; make sure to ask him how he received the nickname “HOLLYWOOD”.....Randy Schultz’74

I have known Mike Lansford for several years and am impressed with his service. His knowledge of insurance is unsurpassed, he is always current on new changes and he passes the information on to his clients. He has a history of saving money for his clients and I have recommended him to several of my friends. I trust Independent Insurance Counselors completely to help me and my referrals find the best insurance at the best prices.
