"Louisiana was a brand-new state for Brightway and when I opened my doors, I had access to more than a dozen insurance companies. Where I came from, I had access to exactly one company. Combining my expertise with a wide variety of insurance markets makes my offering invaluable to my customers."

"There is nothing I could have done for the last nine years that would have provided for my family and myself as well as having been part of Brightway."
Bobby Raymond
