About Us

Thompson & Smith is an Independent Insurance Agency, which means we represent many different companies so we can find the one that is right for you. We can shop your insurance for you instead of you having to call around.

Thompson & Smith was formed in October 1998, the result of the merger of The Thompson Group and Jackson Risk Services, dba Associated Insurance Services. Jim Thompson, a native of Trenton, TN, began his insurance career in 1980 by founding Trenton Insurance Center in Trenton, TN. By 1994, he had grown a customer base that included a considerable number of Jackson accounts, so he opened an office in Jackson and changed the name to The Thompson Group.

Roger Smith, a native of Jackson, TN, worked in a family funeral and cemetery operation, George A. Smith and Sons. He served as COO and managed the insurance department. In 1996, he had the opportunity to enter the property and casualty insurance business by joining Associated Insurance Services, Inc., a Jackson agency with predecessor agencies dating back to 1927. In 1997, he formed Jackson Risk Services, LLC for the purpose of buying the assets of Associated Insurance Services, Inc. Chuck Thompson, a native of Trenton, TN, joined the agency in 1994 and began learning the business under the direction of his father, Jim Thompson. Chuck became a partner in the company in 2008.

The owners, agents, and staff at Thompson & Smithare committed to serving the needs of our customers with high quality products and excellent customer service. Highly trained and committed employees, responsive to our customer's needs, will be the cornerstones of our success.
