The Humble Beginnings
At Clear Insurance Solutions, our journey began in 1946 with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide reliable and transparent insurance solutions to our community. Founded by Joe Albertson and Thomas Patterson under the name ATP Insurance, the company was built on the pillars of integrity, trust, and customer-centric service. Back then, insurance was a vastly different landscape, but one thing remained constant—our commitment to ensuring financial protection for individuals and businesses alike.
The early years were marked by a strong focus on building personal relationships with clients. Word-of-mouth recommendations and local partnerships helped establish a firm foundation, creating a reputation for dependability that would only grow stronger over the decades.
The 1970s ushered in a significant transformation. Following Thomas Patterson's passing, Douglas Brown acquired his shares and eventually took full control of ATP Insurance in 1976. With Brown at the helm, the company underwent a strategic expansion, extending its service offerings beyond traditional insurance policies. The name ATP took on new meaning—"All Types of Protection"—signaling a broader range of coverage options for clients.
In 1984, a merger with Joseph Jenkins Insurance brought additional expertise and financial resources, propelling the company into a new era of growth. This expansion allowed ATP Insurance to strengthen its commercial insurance division, catering to businesses of all sizes.
By the early 2000s, the insurance industry was evolving rapidly, and ATP Insurance was ready to adapt. The leadership of Duane and Michael Brown spearheaded a major restructuring, leading to the formation of ATP Insurance, LLC. This transformation was accompanied by strategic acquisitions, including Larson Insurance Services in 2002, which was rebranded to ATP Insurance Services, LLC.
Between 2004 and 2010, ATP Insurance underwent a series of mergers, absorbing Paul Allen Insurance and RealValue Insurance to form ATP Insurance Group, LLC. This period of aggressive expansion solidified the company's position as a leading provider of personal and commercial insurance solutions.
The year 2014 marked a pivotal shift in the company’s branding and vision. Recognizing the need for a name that better reflected its values, ATP Insurance adopted the DBA (doing-business-as) name CLEAR Insurance Solutions. This was more than a simple rebranding—it was a reaffirmation of the company’s dedication to transparency, clarity, and personalized insurance solutions.
By 2020, the transition was complete, and CLEAR Insurance Solutions, LLC became the official name. The change signified a renewed focus on innovation, customer education, and ensuring that every client fully understands their policy options.
