We’re an independent insurance agency founded by Dr. Jeremy W. Odom. We bring you choices, explain them in plain English, and stand with you at claim time.
J W Odom & Associates was founded in Natchitoches, Louisiana to raise the bar on how insurance is explained and serviced. We chose the independent model so we can advocate for you—not a single carrier—comparing options across the market and tailoring protection to your goals.
Serving neighbors, churches, and small businesses that needed a responsive partner—not a switchboard. Answer the phone, call back, follow through. Those still guide us daily.
We translate coverage line by line, flag the trade-offs, and recommend right-sized limits. When life changes—new home, new driver, policy audits—we adjust with you.
Founder of J W Odom & Associates. Jeremy believes good insurance should be understandable and service should be personal. He launched the agency to combine market access with a ministry-minded heart for people—so families, businesses, and churches feel protected and supported.
Jeremy’s approach is simple: listen first, educate with plain language, and stand with clients at claim time. That’s the culture he’s built for producers and staff alike.
Independence means we’re not tied to one company’s products. We can compare multiple carriers to find a fit for your coverage needs and budget.
We recommend an annual review (or sooner if something changes—new home, drivers, business operations). We’ll flag gaps, overlaps, and savings opportunities.
Yes. We help file, document, and escalate with the carrier so you’re not navigating the process alone.
We’re licensed in Louisiana, Texas, and South Carolina (Michigan pending) and serve clients throughout these states.
Tell us what you need—we’ll shop the market and follow up quickly.
