About

With deep-roots in the insurance community dating back to 1942, Hatcher has been serving Florida for over half-a-century. 

Our History

Serving Florida for nearly 80 years, the Hatcher family has deep roots in the insurance community, dating back to Orlando Mayor, J. Rolfe Davis and the creation of the J. Rolfe Davis Insurance Agency in 1942. In 1952 – Marion F. Hatcher joined his father-in-law in the business, purchasing the agency from Rolfe in the 1980s. Marion F. (Mike) Hatcher III entered the business in the 1980s joining his father and grandfather to continue the family lineage. 

In 2000, Huntington Bancshares acquires The J. Rolfe Davis Insurance Agency – and shortly thereafter, is re-purchased by a private group of shareholders. In 2002 – Mike Hatcher elects to spin-off his interest – and Hatcher Insurance Inc. is born. 

In 2020 – industry veterans William J. Palmer and Bryan T. Robertson acquired Hatcher Insurance, Inc., now Hatcher Insurance LLC, and added a third partner, J. Cory Broadaway in 2021. We are pleased to perpetuate a legacy rich in the tradition of quality and service.
