About Us

Your Partner
in Protection

We don't just sell insurance, we build strategic protection plans to help you secure what matters most. Serving businesses across Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia, and families across five states including Virginia, with certified expertise and a client-first approach.

Our Story

Insurance shouldn't be confusing. It shouldn't feel like you're being sold something. And you shouldn't have to wonder if you're actually protected when life takes an unexpected turn.

Jason Rodriguez founded Prominent Insurance Services in 2010 after seeing how often clients were left in the dark, overwhelmed by jargon, confused by coverage options, and unsure if their policies would actually protect them when they needed it most.

Jason earned the Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) designation from The National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research, completing five rigorous institutes in commercial property, commercial casualty, personal lines, life and health, and agency management. He then pursued the Certified Personal Risk Manager (CPRM) designation, specializing in advanced personal risk strategies for individuals and families with complex needs.

Prominent was built to be different. We prioritize education over sales. Transparency over fine print. Strategy over transactions.

Our Three Pillars of Protection™ framework ensures nothing is overlooked, your property, your people, and your financial future. And our commitment to plain-English communication means you'll always understand exactly what's protected.

Today, Prominent Insurance Services is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware and serves clients across Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. With access to multiple top-rated insurance carriers, we compare rates and coverage options to find the right protection at the right price for every client.

We're not here to sell you insurance. We're here to give you confidence, clarity, and peace of mind.

Advisory Philosophy

Jason's approach to insurance advisory is built on the belief that every family and business deserves a clear, strategic protection plan, not a stack of policies they don't understand. He developed the Three Pillars of Protection™ framework to ensure that every client's coverage is evaluated holistically across Property, People, and Future & Liability.

As an independent advisor, Jason is not tied to any single insurance carrier. He works with more than 20 appointed carriers, and others. This carrier independence means every recommendation is based on what's best for the client, not what earns the highest commission.

Jason is committed to serving Delaware's diverse communities and the broader Mid-Atlantic region with personalized, accessible insurance guidance. He believes insurance should be explained in plain English and that every client should feel confident they understand their coverage.

About Prominent Insurance Services

The Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) designation is awarded by The National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research. It requires completion of five rigorous institutes covering commercial property, commercial casualty, personal lines, life and health, and agency management. CIC holders must also pass comprehensive exams and complete annual continuing education to maintain the designation. It is one of the most respected credentials in the insurance industry.

The Certified Personal Risk Manager (CPRM) designation specializes in personal risk management for high-net-worth individuals and families. It covers advanced topics in personal insurance including homeowners, auto, umbrella, collectibles, watercraft, and liability exposures unique to affluent clients. CPRM holders are trained to identify gaps in personal coverage that standard advisors may overlook.

An independent advisor represents multiple insurance carriers rather than just one company. This means we can compare rates, coverage options, and carrier financial strength across many companies to find the best fit for your specific needs. There is no extra cost, independent advisors are compensated by the carrier, and our rates are the same or often lower than going directly to a single company. You get unbiased advice because we are not tied to any one insurer.

The Three Pillars of Protection is Prominent Insurance Services' proprietary framework for building comprehensive coverage. The three pillars are: Property (home, auto, valuable possessions), People (life insurance, disability, health), and Future & Liability (umbrella coverage, business protection, cyber insurance). By evaluating your coverage through all three pillars, we ensure there are no gaps in your protection plan, an approach that standard insurance reviews often miss.

Prominent Insurance Services works with multiple top-rated insurance carriers. This broad carrier access allows us to find the right coverage at competitive rates for clients across Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia.

Prominent Insurance Services is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. We are licensed for both personal and commercial lines in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. Our full five-state footprint allows us to serve families and businesses across the broader Mid-Atlantic region, from Philadelphia to Baltimore to Northern Virginia.

Three key differences set us apart. First, our Three Pillars of Protection framework provides a structured, comprehensive approach to coverage that prevents gaps. Second, our principal advisor holds both CIC and CPRM designations, which fewer than a small percentage of insurance professionals hold together. Third, we prioritize education and strategy over transactions, we want you to understand your coverage, not just pay for it.

No. Prominent Insurance Services does not charge clients any fees for insurance advisory services. We are compensated by the insurance carriers when we place a policy. Our rates are the same as, or often lower than, what you would pay going directly to a single insurance company. The advantage is that we do the comparison shopping for you across multiple top-rated carriers.
