About us
Protecting Your Tomorrow, Today.
Pepper, Johnstone & Company was established in 1971 as a privately held insurance brokerage. Unlike national firms whose decision-makers are located elsewhere, we are local, influential and responsive. Although based in Alabama, we serve clients throughout the southeastern and western United States. Although much has changed in our industry over the past 50+ years, our steadfast commitment to properly protecting and advising our clients remains the same.
What our clients are saying
"This is a great company to work with! Casandra did an excellent job making sure my claim was completed in a timely manner. Julie is always there to help me any time I need to make changes to my insurance needs. The staff is always professional to work with. I trust Pepper, Johnstone & Company with all my insurance needs and have for many years."
"My husband & I have been clients of Pepper, Johnston & Company for about 50 years. We have always felt confident in trusting them with all our auto, home & life insurance needs. As an Independent Agency, they are more concerned with providing their clients with choices best suited for them. We highly recommend for anyone shopping for the best insurance coverage and service to contact any of the friendly, professional staff at Pepper, Johnstone & Company. "
"Pepper, Johnstone & Company is excellent. Our broker takes time to make us feel like we are the only clients. They are very thorough and work hard to make sure there are no gaps in coverage."
"Pepper, Johnstone, & Company has become a crucial member of our business support team over the past several years. At the start, they performed an analysis of our business needs, our exposure areas, and determined the most comprehensive, yet economical, method of coverage. Their attention to detail ensures coverage lapses do not occur and that all proof of insurance requests from our clients are quickly met, typically in the same day. I have no concerns about liability exposure knowing that Pepper, Johnstone, & Company is looking out for us. I highly recommend their services to any business owner. "
"Any communication with this agency is pleasant, from the office staff to the agents. I am very satisfied with the policies and service provided."
"Appreciate always being able to reach someone live. More than one person knowledgeable & able to help me. Everybody treats me as if I'm their only client. Bryan & Kellie are so very knowledgeable and friendly. I love having such a quick turn-around time on invoices and changes to our policies."
"I view the discretion you and Travelers have shown based on the facts as a whole as a high degree of wisdom...if this whole thing goes through despite Murphy's Law #2 (if you see a light at the end of the tunnel it is probably a freight train), then I will certainly consider you to be wise counsel. This Thanksgiving, one of the many things I am thankful for is an outstanding insurance agent/broker - you."
"Bryan is extremely knowledgeable with regards to all facets of insurance coverage and necessary policies. I trust him completely because I know that he understands the nuances and I know that he has integrity. When he makes a recommendation, I know it is in my best interest. He takes good care of both my personal and business insurance needs. I would not call anyone else about my insurance but Bryan."
"I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your numerous interventions and attention to detail during the work on my house. Through the entire process there was never a doubt in my mind that you had my best interest at heart. I have experienced agents/brokers in the past that were most helpful until the sale was complete then not quite as much. That is certainly not the case with you. Once again I appreciate it greatly! "
"We are extremely satisfied with our advisor. Not only does he find the best 'product in a category' as an independent broker, but he reviews and discusses insurance needs from a macro perspective. Bryan Johnstone is a great advisor and great person!"
