Continuing a Legacy: The Serhey Davidson Story, From Phil Robbins to Lacey Riger
Over 75 years ago, Phil Robbins founded Serhey Davidson Corp a block from Wall Street, starting with a single policy to serve local businesses. His vision was simple yet powerful: provide exceptional commercial insurance services with a personal touch that larger firms couldn't match.
Phil's commitment to understanding each client's unique needs and building lasting relationships set the foundation for what would become a multi-generational family business. He believed that insurance wasn't just about policies—it was about protecting dreams, businesses, and livelihoods.
In 1965, Phil Robbins was recognized as the #1 producer in the United States for Health Insurance Paid First Year Premiums by Berkshire Life Insurance Company—a testament to his dedication and the company's early success.
His son, Herb Robbins, continued this legacy, enhancing the company's reputation in commercial insurance throughout the New York metropolitan area. Under Herb's leadership, Serhey Davidson expanded its expertise, particularly in construction and commercial property insurance, while maintaining the personalized service that had become the company's hallmark.
Today, the third-generation leader, Lacey Riger, upholds these values while infusing traditional principles with modern strategies. Her expertise in Construction Risk Insurance has propelled the company into a new era of success and innovation. Lacey has expanded the company's reach while staying true to the core values established by her grandfather: integrity, expertise, and unwavering commitment to client success.
Under Lacey's leadership, Serhey Davidson has embraced technology to streamline processes while maintaining the personal, consultative approach that sets us apart. We continue to specialize in construction insurance, commercial liability, workers' compensation, and a full range of business insurance products.
