"State Farm in Pinole is the best! Lino has provided excellent services to me and my family. Having Serene available with any questions we may have has helped ease my life.

"Selene has been an invaluable resource to my wife and throughout our tenure with State Farm and Lino Amaral’s office. Selene really assisted my wife and I through our car accident and claims process. We were having some issues involving our insurance claim and we were having a difficult time getting someone at State Farm claims to resolve it. We were getting discouraged with no solution or action in about two weeks. We decided to contact Lino’s team at State Farm. Selene not only listened to our frustration, she took it upon herself to solve the problem by reaching out to State Farm corporate and partnering with person responsible for processing our estimate. She promised that she would update me by the end of day with an update. Would you know that at exactly 5pm, State Farm Claims contacted me to let me know that the problem that had been delaying our claims process had been solved and that they are moving forward with the claims process again. I was surprised and impressed. Not only did Selene solve a problem we had been struggling with the claims department for two weeks on, but she contacted me at the EOD like she promised. Thank you Selene for solving a problem that we were incapable of resolving. You are a an invaluable resource and we are grateful to be working with you and Lino Amaral’s office. Sincerely Craig Q"
"Craig- I cannot tell you how much I appreciate. You're taking the time to share your experience with my office manager Selene and how she was able make an unfortunate situation a bit more bearable. On behalf of Selene and the rest of my team, I want to thank you for taking the time to share a few words about your experiences with my office. We are thankful for your insurance business and your friendship. Wishing you the best, and thanks again!"

"The people in this office are always so kind and helpful. It really is appreciated, especially since most of the time you are contacting an insurance office, it’s for a stressful reason. They know their stuff and don’t give you the run around. We have multiple polices with them and have been nothing but happy."
"Nicole, on behalf of myself and my entire team, thank you for the kind words about the remarkable customer service you have experienced from my Agency! We value your business and loyalty as a fellow Good Neighbor- please do not hesitate to reach out or leave me a message at lino@asklino.com. Thanks again!"

"Nobody likes to have the conversation about Death but unfortunately it is something we should plan for because tomorrow is never promised. Fortunately, Lino makes that conversation easier and has great plans to offer! He clearly explains what Life insurance is and also breaks down what kind of coverage would be best and why! For a couple of years, we danced around the conversation and I am so glad we finally got a plan in place! I definitely feel better knowing that if something happened to me or my partner that our family and kids will be ok. Thanks Lino!"
"Crystal- Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us such a glowing review about a subject I am so passionate about. Most insurance agents don't like talking about it because the fact is it is uncomfortable. The reality is that there's no getting away from it. We are all going to die sometime so we should prepare for the inevitable. I commend the both of you for having this discussion at your age because quite frankly, you should take care of it in your twenty's, thirties and forties while you are healthy and it is inexpensive. Congratulations on getting your Life Insurance PLAN for life started with this first policy. Welcome to the StateFarm family!"

"I highly recommend this office for extremely personable, polite, and timely service. Whenever I call there with a question, a real person answers the phone (someone I know and have worked with before), and I get what I need in less than five minutes. They are an old fashioned agency that provides true customer service, something you don't find anymore. We had a minor accident recently, and they were so, so great in helping me understand what to do next. I got my car in to be repaired on that same day by a pre-approved shop! State Farm is the best insurance, you won't be sorry"
"Jennifer- Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I absolutely love what you said about us. Being an old-fashioned agency with good old customer service that gets our customers back to where they need to be. After that unfortunate event that always happens when we need insurance. Thanks again for your loyalty and we appreciate your business!"

Refer one of your friends for a life insurance quote this month and we'll get you a $20 gift certificate as a sign of thank you for helping me grow my business! Thanks again for being a great customer and Happy Holidays!"

"In the sprawling labyrinth of insurance, where buzzwords and legalese dart around like bats in a cave, one could easily get lost, or worse, end up with a policy that makes as much sense as a porcupine in a balloon shop. Enter Lino—our guardian angel of all things insurable—who guides us through the quagmire with the sort of ease you'd expect from a man who's walked these bewildering halls for years. You know, there's something immensely comforting about a guy who can look at the small print of life insurance and say, "Ah, let's break this down, shall we?" and actually make it sound like a delightful fireside chat rather than a reading of the tax code. Lino has this knack for turning a conversation about risk assessment into something akin to a cozy travelogue through your own life. He takes the tangled web of coverage options, premiums, and policies, and somehow weaves it into something that not only makes sense but also makes you wonder why you were ever worried in the first place. In a world where experts often sound more like they're reciting an instruction manual for assembling a rocket ship, Lino is the guy who says, "Sit down, have a cuppa, and let me tell you how this all really works." And he does, every single time, with the wit of a stand-up comedian and the wisdom of a sage."
"Youness - Wow, I just don't know what to to say about that review other than a huge Thank You! I am greatly humbled by the kind words and acccolades you just bestowed upon me. Having customers like yourself and Brigid make my job all that more enjoyable. It is truly an honor to call you my clients, customers and now friends. I look forward to working with the both of you in help protecting your family for years to come. Thank you again, much appreciated!"

"I can't say enough good things about my experience with Selene. I've been with the Lino for several years and from the moment I reached out to them, I knew I was in capable hands. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction have truly exceeded my expectations. What immediately stood out to me was their excellent communication. Selene is incredibly responsive and always ready to answer my questions, whether it was through email, phone calls, or even in-person meetings, she takes the time to explain complex insurance terms in a way that was easy to understand, which made the entire process much smoother. Selene and the office of Lino Amaral always go above and beyond! They have truly earned my trust and gratitude."
"Andrea- WOW, thank you so much for putting so much thought and accolades in your generous review! On behalf of Selene, myself and the rest of my team please know that your kind words are greatly appreciated!
