About us

Our History

In 2010, Justin Doherty obtained his Life & Health Insurance license in Pennsylvania and started JP Doherty, Doc's Insurance Services. On March 1st, he began selling insurance for Banker's Life & Casualty Company. In July of that year, he started working for a life-long family friend, Bob Courter, owner of Courter Financial Services, LLC. From then through July 2026, while technically an independent broker, Justin sold life & health insurance through the Courter Financial Agency.

On July 24, 2026, Justin officially formed Doherty Insurance & Estate Planning, LLC.

Plain-English Clarity

Ongoing Stewardship

As an independent practice, we compare carriers objectively to select options that match your exact health requirements and budget. Our recommendations are not based on sales quotas or commissions.

Complex policy terminology is replaced with direct explanations so you understand every coverage detail.

We remain by your side beyond your purchase of the policy, adjusting coverage and estate plans as your family and health needs change over time.
