The Protected Esquire

Income Protection Strategies Built for Legal Professionals

​You spent years building your legal career. What happens to your income if you're unable to practice? Most attorneys are their own greatest financial asset — and the most underinsured.

Why Attorneys Need Income Protection

Your Income is Your Practice

As an attorney, your ability to work is your most valuable asset. A disability that sidelines you, even temporarily, can devastate your finances and leave your clients without representation.

Student Loan Exposure

Many attorneys carry six-figure law school debt. Without income protection, a disability could make those obligations impossible to meet — putting your financial future at serious risk.

No Employer Safety Net

Solo practitioners and partners often have zero group disability coverage. You need an individual policy built specifically around your income, specialty, and risk profile.

What We Offer

Customized income protection solutions built specifically for legal professionals.

Own Occupation Disability Insurance

The gold standard for attorneys. Pays full benefits if you can't perform the duties of your specific legal specialty, even if you could work in another capacity.

Individual Disability Insurance (IDI)

Portable, customizable coverage not tied to any employer. Designed around your specific income, specialty, and risk profile.

Business Overhead Expense (BOE)

Keeps your practice running — rent, staff, utilities — even when you can't be there.

Term Life Insurance

Affordable income replacement for your family and business partners if the unthinkable happens.

Laddered Life Insurance

We design staggered life insurance policies in order for Attorney's to maximize their overall net worth, while effectively reducing overall and long term cost.

Key Person Coverage

Protect your firm from the financial impact of losing a critical attorney or partner, in the event of a death or a disability.

Attorneys are Preferred Risks

Here's what that Means for You

Legal professionals are classified as top-tier occupational classes by most major insurance carriers. This means you qualify for:

Lower Premiums

Attorneys pay less for the same coverage compared to many other professions due to their favorable risk classification.

Better Policy Terms

Access to non-cancellable, guaranteed renewable policies, meaning your coverage and premiums are locked in for life.

Own Occ Definition

The most favorable disability definition available, protecting your specific legal specialty, not just your ability to work in general.

Top Carrier Access

We work with Ameritas, Guardian, MassMutual, Principal and Standard — the gold standard carriers for attorney disability coverage.
