Our Story
Before we became life insurance review specialists, we too were sold life insurance policies that didn’t live up to their promises. We lacked an accessible resource like LifeInsuranceReview.com (LIR)—trusted, independent, unbiased, and capable of providing an expert second opinion and review to explore, compare, and verify the information we were given.
9 out of the 10 life insurance policies we reviewed were generally, mis-sold, overpriced, poorly designed, and/or inappropriate for the client. Of the 9 policies, on average, we can successfully fixed or improved about 80% of them. However, approximately 20% were beyond rescue.
WE STAND ON THE SIDE OF CONSUMERS, raising awareness to improve these statistics!
LifeInsuranceReview.com (LIR Insurance Solutions, founded in 2011) is a trusted resource for individuals who are purchasing life insurance, already have a policy, or seeking a second expert opinion. Our experienced team of fiduciaries is dedicated to helping you make informed decisions about your life insurance options.
Simply put, we are best positioned to represent your interest and put you first! We are on your side and here to empower you in your life insurance decision-making process.
