Assistance Services, LLC

Insurance brokers in the city often feel like faceless middlemen, but some break the mold by offering real language support and onsite help—especially in neighborhoods where English isn’t everyone’s first language. Assistance Services, LLC fits that bill, operating out of 428 E 10th St New York, NY 10009, a stretch of the East Village where storefronts change overnight but the need for clear, accessible services stays constant. They handle the usual brokerage work while making a point of identifying as both Latino-owned and women-owned, which might matter if you’re looking for someone who understands the specifics of your community. Onsite visits and language assistance are part of the package, so you’re not stuck deciphering jargon over the phone or waiting for emails to translate themselves.

East 10th Street isn’t the kind of block where businesses announce themselves with flashy signs; you’ll find Assistance Services tucked between the bodegas and the occasional pop-up gallery. Their services lean practical—think policy comparisons, claims help, and paperwork that doesn’t require a law degree to decode. If you’d rather talk in person or need help in Spanish, their setup is built for that. For directions, check the map; to skip the back-and-forth, call (212) 419-0768.
