Insurance Advocate

John “Jack” Kohlenstein of JLK Group, LLC

Jack and Doug were both drawn to the insurance industry, following in their father’s footsteps. Jack opened JLK Group in 2012 specializing in insurance packages for dentists and oral surgeons in need of professional liability, general business protection, workers compensation packages and personal umbrella coverage.

Not long after, Doug joined the firm and the two struck a balance, each finding their niche and leveraging their unique skillsets to grow the business.

This dynamic duo has scaled their business into a multi-million-dollar firm, with eight employees, added a second location, and expanded industry specializations to include construction, tech and biotech. Traditional insurance policies, as well as life and disability insurance are also available for homeowners, renters and drivers.


JLK contributes to numerous charities promoting dental health and affordable medical care, donates to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and Mid-Shore Community Foundation.
