I am also an active member of the Rotary Club of Oakland providing additional support to Oakland family with service projects, non-profit grants, and youth scholarships.

Even if you're located in Berkeley, Albany, Alameda, Emeryville, San Leandro, Castro Valley, El Cerrito, Richmond or beyond, I welcome you to stop by my office which is conveniently located near beautiful Lake Merritt in the Grand Avenue business district of Oakland.

- August 21, 2019Rating 5.0We really appreciate Ruth looking at the entire picture of our liability and how it changes once you own a home. Ruth suggested that we increase our auto insurance coverage and provided a quote. She was very honest that it couldn't compete with our current car insurance quote, but equipped us with the information to get better coverage with our current insurance. As for the home owner's insurance, Ruth was also very good with explaining every nook and cranny, key for first-time homebuyers.
