Smart coverage. Simple options. Support from someone who knows your name.

Coverage That Protects Your Work and Reputation
Professional liability insurance is built for businesses that provide services, advice, or expertise. At Tschetter Agency, we help you understand how coverage applies to real-world situations—not just general definitions.
Negligence Claims
Covers claims that your work failed to meet professional standards or caused financial harm.

Protects against mistakes, missed details, or incomplete work that leads to a claim.
Legal Defense Costs
Helps cover attorney fees, court costs, and settlements—even if the claim is unfounded.

Key Considerations When Choosing Professional Liability Insurance

Questions we often hear
Straight answers that reflect our approach
Are you a fiduciary and fee-only?
Yes. We are legally and ethically obligated to act in your best interest in every recommendation and decision. Fee-only means we are compensated only by you, not by commissions or product incentives, which helps remove conflicts that can cloud advice. You will know exactly how we are paid and what you can expect in return. This structure supports objective guidance and a transparent relationship from day one.
What does your planning process include?
Your plan begins with a structured discovery to understand your goals, resources, and constraints. We evaluate retirement readiness, cash flow, estate and beneficiary structure, insurance needs, and tax-aware strategies across accounts. The result is a prioritized action list with timelines and ownership so progress is measurable. We review and update the plan regularly to reflect life changes and market conditions.
How do you manage investments for risk and return?
Portfolios are built around your objectives using diversified building blocks and a disciplined rebalancing schedule. We focus on controllable factors such as costs, taxes, and behavior to improve the consistency of outcomes over time. Monitoring is ongoing, and adjustments occur when your plan or risk profile changes, not based on headlines. You receive clear reporting that explains what changed and why.
Can you coordinate with my CPA and attorney?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with outside professionals to align planning, tax strategy, and estate documents. Our role is to make sure each decision supports your overall objectives and to keep all parties informed. This coordination helps reduce errors, avoid duplication, and surface opportunities that may be missed when advisors work in silos. With your permission, we facilitate the information flow and meeting cadence.
What is the typical first step if I am interested?
It starts with a short introductory call to confirm fit and discuss your priorities. If we both wish to proceed, we schedule a discovery meeting to review your financial picture in more detail and outline next steps. You will see how the planning and investment process works, what the timeline looks like, and what the fees will be. There is no obligation, and you will leave with a clear understanding of how we can help.
