Welcome to the Josh Lorando State Farm Insurance Agency!
Insurance is personal. It protects your home, your family, your livelihood, and the life you’ve worked hard to build. At our office, we believe choosing that protection should feel personal, too.
Located in the heart of New Orleans on the historic Canal St (in between City Park and Carrollton Avenue) our office is built around making people feel welcome. Whether you call us, stop in for a visit, or have been with us for years, our goal is for you to feel like you’re talking with neighbors who know you—not just an insurance company.
We help individuals, families, and businesses throughout Louisiana with Auto, Homeowners, Renters, Flood, Life, and other insurance needs. But our approach starts with the conversation, not the policy. We want to understand what matters to you, explain your options in plain language, and help you put protection in place that makes sense for your life.
Get to Know Your Agent
I’m a New Orleans native, born and raised in the city I’m proud to still call home. I graduated from Louisiana State University with a B.A. in Agricultural Business, and as the oldest of four boys, I learned pretty early how to lead, compete, and look out for the people around me.
Family is a huge part of my life outside the office as well. I married my college sweetheart, and we're raising three amazing kids—a son and two daughters—so our house stays busy, loud, and usually full of sports gear.
When I'm not at the agency, there's a good chance you'll find me coaching at one of our local playgrounds or my children's school, cheering on the Saints or LSU Tigers, staying active, or serving at my local church. New Orleans isn't simply where I do business. It's where I grew up, where we're raising our family, and the community we're proud to be a part of.
A New Orleans Insurance Team That Knows Its Community
I opened my agency in 2014, and one of the things I'm most proud of is the team we've built.
Our bi-lingual team members are all New Orleans natives, and together we bring more than 60 years of combined experience helping customers with Property & Casualty, Life, Health, and Accident insurance. That experience means we're able to do more than provide a quote. We can sit down with you, understand your situation, answer your questions, and help you think through the bigger picture.
Over the years, our agency has been recognized as a multiple-time State Farm Ambassador Club Award winner, a State Farm Senior Vice President's Club Award winner, and an annual Honor Club member. We've also been recognized among State Farm's Top 100 New Agents. We're grateful for those accomplishments, but what matters most to us is the loyalty and tenure of our customers to our agency and in our team.
Let's Talk About What You're Protecting
Whether you're buying your first car, moving into a new home or apartment, starting a family, growing a business, reviewing your Life Insurance, or simply wondering whether your current coverage still fits your life, we'd be happy to have the conversation.
Give our office a call, stop by and see us, or reach out for a quote. We look forward to welcoming you to the Josh Lorando State Farm Insurance Agency and helping you protect the people and things that matter most.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I compare auto insurance quotes?
Getting an Auto Insurance quote doesn't have to be complicated. You can start online, call our office, or stop by and talk with our team. We'll help you understand the available coverage options so you can make an informed decision based on your needs.
How quickly can I get Auto Insurance coverage?
Depending on your individual situation and eligibility, Auto Insurance coverage may be able to begin the same day. Contact our New Orleans office and we'll walk you through the process and available options.
What does Life Insurance do for my family?
Life Insurance can provide financial support to your designated beneficiaries after your death, subject to the terms of your policy. That money can help a family replace an unexpected loss of income and manage expenses such as debt obligations, everyday living costs, education expenses, and funeral costs.
More importantly, we believe the right conversation starts by understanding who depends on you and what you would want financially protected if you weren't there. Our team can help you explore your needs and available Life Insurance options.
What can Renters Insurance help protect?
Renters Insurance can help protect personal belongings such as furniture, clothing, electronics, and other possessions from covered losses. Depending on the policy and circumstances, coverage may also include personal liability and additional living expenses following a covered loss.
If you're renting in New Orleans or elsewhere in Louisiana, our team can help you understand your coverage options and determine what fits your situation.
What does Homeowners Insurance cover?
Homeowners Insurance can provide protection for your home, personal belongings, personal liability, and certain additional living expenses following a covered loss, subject to your specific policy's terms, conditions, and exclusions.
Every home and household is different, so we'd rather help you understand your individual coverage than simply hand you a quote. Contact our team and we'll be happy to talk through your options.
