This is awkward. Let me be up front: I don’t like Matt O’Brien. I don’t think he fulfills his duties to clients personally. Several years ago when he was my agent, before he’d hired staff, I registered a complaint with the state after my lender almost forced a secondary insurance policy because OBrien wasn’t doing what he was supposed to do.

Anna is the best! She’s been so helpful with Answering all my Dad’s insurance questions and always is kind. I appreciate that she’s always available by phone or has a suggestion to make something work. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients!

Very professional friendly and knowledgeable people. They helped me and my wife a lot when we were trying to figure out our best value for 3 vehicles plus our home insurance. Special kudos to Anna Ritter who helped us from afar when we were traveling in Europe and had questions. Wish there were MORE than 5 stars!!

Mathew and his office have been providing exemplary service and support for decades to my family. From explaining the new CalFire insurance situation to earthquake, umbrella, and car insurances they do it all. And they do it well. Mercy has always been immediately responsive and goes above and beyond to assure issues are addressed if needed.
