About Us

Insurance is Personal. We Think Your Service Should Be, Too.

Most people view insurance as a chore—a confusing maze of policies, fine print, and faceless customer service lines.
At Brightway Insurance, The Janicki Agency, we are changing that narrative. Based in Lake Zurich, we are your neighbors first and your agents second. Part of The J&A Group, our team—led by Agency Owner Joseph Janicki alongside Mary Schepp, Piper Damien, Anny Penna, and Keith Koehler—is deeply rooted in the community. We live where you live, meaning we truly understand the unique local risks, assets, and lifestyles of our area. What sets us apart is the Brightway Advantage.

Traditional insurance agents represent just one company, forcing you into a one-size-fits-all box. We do things differently. As an independent agency network, we have access to multiple top-tier insurance brands. This means we shop around on your behalf to find the absolute best coverage at the most competitive price, ensuring a perfect fit for a single asset or your entire portfolio. Whether you need to secure your home, auto, business, life, flood, or even your pets, we handle the heavy lifting. We cut through the industry jargon to provide clear, honest education so you always know exactly what you are paying for—and we promise never to charge additional broker or franchise fees.

You have worked hard to build your life, your family, and your business. You deserve a team that goes above and beyond to protect it. Stop guessing with online algorithms and experience the peace of mind that comes from having a dedicated, local team in your corner. Let’s build a brighter, more secure future together.
