We are a family owned and operated business located in Whitestone, Queens, New York. The Abatelli Insurance Agency was started in Astoria, N.Y. in 1904 by Philip W. Abatelli Sr. His son Philip Jr. joined the firm, and in 1952 moved the business to Flushing, N.Y. Since 1964, the office has been on Francis Lewis Boulevard in Whitestone. From this location, the third generation of the Abatelli family and their insurance professionals continue the tradition of high-level service to their clients.
In 2022, Abatelli Insurance Agency became a member of Hilb Group, a leading employee benefits and property and casualty insurance brokerage and advisory firm. With over 2,200 employees in 125+ locations across 29 states and services in all 50 states, our merger with Hilb Group gave us access to the resources of one of the nation’s largest brokers while maintaining the same local team and personal relationships clients have come to know and trust.
The Abatelli Insurance Agency represents over 15 insurance companies. This is one of the reasons the business has thrived for over 100 years. Our wide range of carrier choices allows us to compare products, price, and discounts you might be eligible for. As we work with you, we will identify your specific insurance requirements. This evaluation will enable us to select the company whose product is most appropriate to suit your needs. And as the world changes seemingly faster and faster, so do your risk exposures. You can rely on us to make sure your insurance policies keep pace.
We are not a sales office. We like to say we buy insurance. We buy it on behalf of you, our client, once we know your needs. And in buying this insurance for you, we remain dedicated to the same guiding principles we have had for over 100 years: Being a good neighbor and member of the community, being devoted to providing excellent service for our clients, staying current with product knowledge, retaining our critical industry relationships, and maintaining a passion to serve you and your family for each successive generation.
