Coverage decisions shouldn't feel like guesswork.
Brown Advisory Solutions is an independent insurance agency that got its start in 2014, when founder Jamahl Brown began helping individual clients work through life insurance decisions that felt confusing and high-stakes. That one-on-one approach grew into a full agency connecting families, retirees, small business owners, and self-employed workers with licensed, independent agents for ACA Marketplace health coverage, Medicare, life insurance, final expense, dental & vision, annuities, and long-term care.
The idea behind the platform is simple: insurance shouldn't require a translator. A 60-second coverage quiz, a free planning calculator, plain-English guides, or just a phone call — every tool exists to get someone to the right licensed agent faster, in whichever language they're most comfortable in. We're independent, not captive to any single carrier, so a recommendation is about what actually fits a person's life and budget, not a quota.
To make that first step even easier, we built Riley, an automated assistant who can answer general questions and book time with an agent day or night. Anything that touches actual coverage, pricing, or eligibility always goes to a real, licensed professional — Brown Advisory Solutions connects clients with licensed, independent agents and does not itself bind, issue, or guarantee coverage.

Who you'll talk to.
Jamahl Brown
When you talk with Jamahl, you're talking with the person who's been doing this work personally since 2014 — sitting down with seniors working through Medicare, small business owners protecting what they've built, college students figuring out coverage for the first time, and 1099 and self-employed workers who don't have an employer benefits department to lean on. He still takes calls himself.
Life insurance is where Jamahl specializes — helping families and individuals put a real plan in place to protect the people who depend on them.
Outside of work, he's an avid sports fan and a dedicated music collector. NPN 17258970.
Riley, our automated phone assistant.
The voice you'll hear if you call and the team can't pick up right away.
Riley answers general coverage questions in plain language, checks real appointment availability, books a time with a licensed agent, and can text or email a short intake form to fill out ahead of your appointment. If you'd rather talk to a person right now, she can transfer the call live.
Riley is software, not a person — she says so at the start of every call. She isn't a licensed agent, and anything specific to your plan, pricing, or eligibility gets handed straight to the team.
