Hilb Group, operating formerly as Pearson Wallace Insurance, LLC, provides business and personal insurance services to customers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. We believe insurance should be selected according to the specific risks each client faces, not simply chosen from a standard set of policies. Accordingly, we customize coverage to suit individual requirements while seeking fair, affordable premiums and the reassurance that comes from appropriate protection. Our agency welcomes customers at 222 South Street, Suite 201, Pittsfield, MA 01201. For questions or assistance, please contact us by email at abennett@hilbgroup.com, by phone at (413) 464-9390, or by fax at (866) 495-4808.
Our personal insurance services are designed to protect individuals, households, and their belongings through coverage options that include homeowners, renters, auto, marine and watercraft, fine arts, and jewelry insurance, along with additional personal policies. Commercial clients receive a more specialized approach based on a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation of their companies' physical and operational risks. This assessment enables us to identify relevant exposures and consider insurance solutions that meet business requirements while remaining cost-effective. With a focus on companies in Massachusetts, we aim to help business owners safeguard what they have built and protect the assets supporting their future development. Whether the need involves personal possessions or commercial operations, our priority remains the same: to tailor insurance products to the customer's situation, provide appropriate protection at a reasonable cost, and support greater confidence in managing risk.

I would highly recommend that everyone give Pearson Wallace a call for all their insurance needs. Our financial advisor suggested we call them and so glad we did. They found us less expensive policies (home and auto) and even advised us on additional coverage that we never thought about. In the end we are paying less and have more coverage. They have amazing knowledge of the insurance industry, do all the research and there are no fees. You have nothing to lose.

We recently transitioned from Liberty Mutual Insurance to Pearson Wallace Insurance, and we couldnt be more satisfied with the decision. After years of being with our previous provider, we were in search of better coverage and more competitive premiums. Pearson Wallace Insurance exceeded our expectations on both fronts.
One of the standout aspects of our experience was working with Robert, our dedicated insurance agent. His expertise and attention to detail were instrumental in finding us a policy that not only offers enhanced coverage but also comes with significantly lower premiums. Robert took the time to thoroughly understand our needs and tailor a plan that was perfectly suited for us.
The process was seamless, and the level of customer service we received was exceptional. Roberts guidance and support were invaluable, and we are confident that we wouldnt have been able to achieve such a favorable outcome without his help. Thanks to Pearson Wallace Insurance and Robert, we now have peace of mind knowing that we are well-protected and are also saving money.
We highly recommend Pearson Wallace Insurance to anyone looking for comprehensive coverage and excellent customer service.

We recently contacted Pearson Wallace to get quotes for our Auto, Homeowners, and a personal liability umbrella policies. From the initial contact which happened very quickly (filled out a contact me request) to providing them with the information needed to get quotes for these coverages the process was smooth and moved along quickly with great communication throughout. Oh and at the end we saved money, increased coverages, and moved to an A rated insurance company noted for strong financials & great customer service.
Choosing to work with Robert Tyrol at Pearson Wallace, a family owned business, was a great decision and we expect to have many years of great service going forward.

I highly recommend PWI! They have handled my auto insurance policy for a few years now and Bobby has always been a pleasure to work with. Bobby is always there in time of need with any questions/claims I need to make. He is very knowledgeable and provides great customer service, I truly think he is an asset to the company! Thank you, Bobby, for assisting me on finding the policy with the best rate to fit my needs!

We purchased auto insurance for our sons car through Pearson Wallace. They were efficient, polite and helpful throughout the process. Robert was a pleasure to deal with. Unfortunately, a fender bender happened recently and they have also been great in helping with this claim. I would recommend this agency to anyone and have already referred several friends.

Highly recommend Pearson Wallace Insurance. I have my rental property's, my rental policy, and auto policy with them and have never had any issue or question that was not answered. The entire team is very well at communicating what policy terms mean and when/how things are going to work. I have recommended my friends and colleges to PWI and i will continue to.

The Pearson Wallace team is always a pleasure to work with! They are a family owned agency, and take the time to care for you, as family.
I was helping my parents switch brokers, and they had many questions after being with the same broker for over 15 years! The team was patient with each question, provided clear answers and assured my parents they were in good hands each step of the way. My parents are happy with their new car insurance policies and saved money in the process! We highly recommend Pearson Wallace Insurance!

The team at Pearson Wallace Insurance welcomed me and my daughter with kindness and professionalism. They helped us navigate the process for not only our insurance policies but also helped get our documents and appointments readied for our new drivers licenses and car registrations.
They went above and beyond other insurance providers and deserve the 5 star rating.

I was recently introduced to Alex by the fine gentlemen from whom I purchased a new car. My experience of Alex has been very positive: he is highly professional, knowledgeable, helpful and respectful. He did such a great job setting me up with auto insurance, that I transferred all my other insurance policies over to Pearson Wallace. Alex is responsive and thorough and I recommend him highly.

Beth Pearson and her team provides exceptional service. Not only did they find better rates for us, but they explained the ins and outs of various policy options so that we may put together an insurance policy most suited to our needs. They also made our move from CT to MA easier by helping us with the process of getting new drivers license and plates. They are simply the best.

I contacted Cole Lenihan because I had heard from a family member that he could get me a better rate on my car insurance policy. As a younger driver, I was shocked when Pearson-Wallace Insurance came back with an insurance quote from a reputable provider that would save me hundreds of dollars a year. Cole and their team worked to make sure that I knew that my new policy would be apples-to-apples with my old plan, while saving me hundreds. He was very responsive by phone and email, and when it came time to pull the trigger, the rate came in even lower than originally quoted. Cole even dealt with all aspects of canceling my former policy. Its great to know that I can quickly and easily get ahold of my insurance agent, and I really appreciated how seamless they made the process for me. Id highly recommend Pearson-Wallace Insurance.

Being the owner of multiple investment properties, I recently turned to Beth Pearson for a full evaluation of all my insurance policies. After some thorough research, Beth and her team were able to provide me with better coverage and also make some significant financial savings all the while providing exceptional customer service. She was also able to provide me with policies that other insurance companies could not offer and worked directly with my bank and attorneys in the recent purchase and sales of several properties.
I now have great peace of mind knowing that Im fully protected and covered and I love that she takes care of everything efficiently and with a personalized service that I value greatly in my business. I have recommended her to colleagues and friends and will continue to do so.
