Berliner Insurance has been a trusted name in Connecticut for over 60 years. Mortimer W. Berliner, CPCU founded the agency in 1965, building its reputation the old-fashioned way: showing up, listening carefully, and making sure clients actually understood what they were buying.

In 1995, his son Jim Berliner took over, carrying that same approach forward and earning recognition as Connecticut’s Professional Insurance Agent of the Year and a term as President of the Professional Insurance Agents of Connecticut. Those aren’t marketing credentials. They’re the kind of honors that come from decades of doing the work right.

Reflecting on the decision to join Liberty, Jim shared,

“What stood out to us about Liberty was the culture of collaboration, integrity, and support. After more than 50 years of serving our clients with personalized guidance and deep industry expertise, we saw in Liberty a partner who could help us continue that mission — while at the same time, providing the infrastructure and resources to take our agency to the next level.”

Joining Liberty’s network is the next chapter for Berliner Insurance. With access to expanded resources, a broader carrier marketplace, and Liberty’s risk management and HR support services, the team is better positioned than ever to serve clients across Connecticut and beyond. What won’t change is what made them worth joining in the first place: a tight-knit, experienced staff that treats every client like a neighbor, because most of them are.

Whether you need personal coverage for your home and vehicles or commercial protection for your business, Berliner Insurance brings the same personalized attention it always has, now with more tools behind it.
