George H. Friedlander Company is an independent property, casualty, and surety insurance agency based in Charleston, West Virginia. The company has a long-standing history dating back to 1921 when Major C.R. Morgan founded the C.R. Morgan Company, which quickly became a leader in servicing the construction industry's insurance needs in West Virginia. Following Major Morgan’s death in 1954, the agency experienced a challenging transition until it was purchased by George H. Friedlander in 1962, who brought significant expertise in surety and insurance from his experience with Hartford Insurance Company. Under Friedlander's management, the agency expanded its capabilities and solidified its reputation for providing excellent service tailored specifically for construction-related accounts.
In 1970, the agency was officially renamed the George H. Friedlander Company after Friedlander and his partner, Anthony Stanchina, acquired the business. The agency has continually strived to uphold high service standards by hiring professionals with deep expertise in construction underwriting as future owners. This commitment to knowledge has enabled the company to meet the unique insurance demands of its clients effectively.
Today, George H. Friedlander Company remains focused on delivering exceptional service to its clients while providing a range of insurance products including auto, home, commercial insurance, and surety bonds. The agency emphasizes innovation, client satisfaction, financial strength, and integrity as core values, aiming to elevate industry standards. Their role as an active participant in industry organizations showcases their dedication to remaining a trusted resource in the insurance and surety market.
