With previous experience as a property broker and several years spent developing a property underwriting expertise at Axis Insurance, Lally brings a well-rounded understanding of the industry as he makes his return to a brokering role. As a native Chicagoan, Lally carries some of the same energy and drive found in Maximum’s home office to Houston where great relationships will continue to be cultivated with a more hands-on approach. Lally stated, “Maximum is a company that continues to move forward, and I am eager to see how my move to Maximum, to Houston, and back to a brokerage will continue the work that’s already been started in Texas.”

Joe Messina, President and CEO, said, “Continuing our strategic expanse into different regional markets, we’re excited to focus our attention on relationships built in the South East. Bill has just the expertise and ambition we want that will marry us well with the Texas marketplace, and we’re eager to welcome him to the team.”
