About

History

Paul Olson founded Liggett Companies in 1995, after working at Horace Mann Insurance for 20 years. The decision to form an independent agency came after many years of gained experience and an understanding of how to better serve clients through choice in coverage.

In 2009, Micah Olson, Paul’s eldest son, joined the agency as an independent agent. Paul and Micah quickly learned that their approach to helping people aligned perfectly. In 2013, Paul and Micah decide to rebrand the agency as Minnesota Lakes Insurance.

Micah assumed ownership of Minnesota Lakes Insurance in December, 2018. Paul continues to work as a trusted advisor to Minnesota Lakes Insurance.

Minnesota Lakes Insurance is based in Plymouth, Minnesota, and proudly serves Minnesota and Wisconsin residents. Our clients are spread across both states with large concentrations in the Twin Cities, Brainerd lakes area and the North Shore.

Why Choose Us

Not all insurance is the same. Choosing the right agency can make a big difference – in price, service and value.

With other agencies, you might get one company that sells one brand of insurance. With an independent insurance agency like Minnesota Lakes Insurance, you get choices. Why? Because independent insurance agencies, like us, represent a number of different insurance companies. As a result, we are able to compare coverage and prices to find the best possible value for your individual circumstance.
