Our Legacy of Trust & Excellence

Over 175 Years of Dedicated Service

Established in 1849, Brooks & Stafford has been a cornerstone in the Cleveland insurance landscape. Our journey began when John G. Jennings founded the Jennings & Brooks Insurance agency, laying the foundation for what would become one of the city's most trusted insurance providers. ​


Throughout the years, we've remained committed to the principles of high-quality customer service, client advocacy, and unparalleled industry knowledge. This dedication has allowed us to grow and succeed, serving second, third, and fourth-generation family members. ​



Our rich history is intertwined with Cleveland's growth. From the rise of the Erie Canal to the introduction of the first locomotive, we've been there every step of the way, supporting the community's evolving needs. Our founders passed down more than just industry processes; they instilled a passion for premier customer service and exemplary care. ​
