The weather is still warm and the NEW SCHOOL YEAR is upon us! Greetings from Lino Amaral's State Farm office in Pinole! It is a GREAT TIME to help you answer questions about your insurance coverages and plan for the remainder of the year! Whether you’re looking to secure your future through reviewing or establishing retirement plans or children's education plans or perhaps have questions about your current insurance coverages, my team is dedicated to help you every step of the way!

Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate your options and find tailored to your needs. If you need any assistance or information related to insurance or financial services offered by State Farm, feel free to ask! I can assist you in getting started on the right track for 2025 and beyond - the sooner you start, the better! My team and I are always committed to help you with all of your insurance and financial needs including the subject of LIFE INSURANCE. We will broach the subject in every conversation we have with our customers - it is that important!

This month, we encourage you to take a moment to review your insurance policies and ensure you have the protection you deserve. Remember, a little preparation today can lead to big savings and security tomorrow! and make sure you’re getting the appropriate protection at a fair price, especially since the industry is currently experiencing some turmoil.

PLEASE feel free to CALL / TEXT or schedule a Virtual Meeting or VISIT my office directly with any questions.

Our mission is always to exceed our customer's expectations by building quality relationships which enable us to provide excellent service - don't take my word for it, just take a look at some of our REVIEWS!

We do this by helping customers manage their everyday risks through a combination of proper coverage and reasonable price - this is the foundation of my agency philosophy. Let's have a simple conversation about your current coverages and what they actually do and (don't do) for you and your family! Afterall, you never want to find out you do not have adequate coverage at one of those times when you actually need it!

With over 20 years of experience in the insurance and financial services industry, and as a proud State Farm policyholder for more than 35 years, I am committed to meeting all of your insurance and financial needs. My background as a former CEO of a not-for-profit fraternal life insurance company has given me valuable insight into risk management and the important role insurance plays in protecting what you’ve worked so hard to build.

As a devoted son of a Portuguese immigrant, family and close friendships are very important to me. My wife, Linda, and our three children—Matthew (and Felicia), Monica, and Lindsey—are at the heart of my life, and I treasure the time we spend together. I’m also grateful to have my parents, who still live in Rodeo, as a meaningful part of our lives.

Whether we’re enjoying family gatherings, cultural events, a round of golf, cooking together, or camping trips, I truly appreciate the blessings life brings. These experiences enrich my life and inspire the passion I bring to both my personal and professional journey.

As a lifelong resident of Contra Costa County, I’m proud to serve as a State Farm Agent in the community where I was raised. Born at Brookside Hospital and raised in Tara Hills, I attended Kerry Hills Elementary, Pinole Jr. High, and graduated from Pinole Valley High School, where I was active in football, track, school leadership, and my parish at St. Joseph’s Church. The towns of Pinole, Hercules, Rodeo, Port Costa, Crockett, San Pablo, Richmond, and El Cerrito hold a special place in my heart—I truly know West County!

No matter where you live in California, I am licensed to offer the full range of State Farm insurance products, backed by the trusted “Like a Good Neighbor” service that State Farm is known for. I look forward to the opportunity to assist you!

Whether you need coverage for your Auto, Home, Life, Business, RV, Boat, or Motorcycle insurance or retirement & educational questions, I am here to provide personalized guidance and support. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools necessary to make informed decisions about your insurance options. I look forward to becoming your source for all your insurance needs. Let’s work together to protect your future!
