Testimonial by Chef Ramiro & Claudia Alarcon - Cielito Lindo Restaurant

Ten years ago my wife and I decided to open a restaurant, and we knew that we had to have coverage from different companies – one of them was insurance for the restaurant. We started looking and our consultant recommended Elizabeth Hernández to us. When he met her, Elizabeth gave us a lot of confidence due to her professional presentation and the way she explained the coverage.
Unfortunately, seven months after opening the restaurant we experienced a fire and Elizabeth accompanied us from that day until the last payment of the policy. She was always there for us.
Now we have a catering business and we do not doubt who would be our advisor. Elizabeth’s professionalism, her prompt response and her honesty is in her character and that is what makes us feel safe and peaceful in our business.

Yo tengo el gusto y privilegio de conocer a Elizabeth Hernández. Ella me ayudó a encontrar las mejores coberturas de autos de mi familia y para mi casa. Tambien me ayudo con las Aseguranzas necesarias para mi negocio de limpieza de casas que son Wokers Comp, Umbrella, y Liability.

Pero lo mejor y lo que es más difícil de encontrar y que ella me ofrece es la confianza de poder llamarla y hacerle cualquier pregunta que yo tenga. Elizabeth siempre está ahí para apoyarme, guiarme y ayudarme en lo que necesito. Es muy reconfortante saber que ella esta ahÍ, que no estoy sola. ¡Muchas gracias Elizabeth!

Testimonial by Tonya Amos - Grown Woman Dance Collective

Elizabeth is amazing! We needed SAM coverage for our dance company to secure city grant funding. The process was complicated and cost-prohibitive with every company that I called. Elizabeth knows the insurance space well, and with a daughter who is a dancer, I knew immediately I was in the right hands. Within days, she had an incredible quote for us that was, literally, 10% of the other policies that we found through other companies. She’s creative, smart, and committed to her clients’ success. We are lucky to have found her and appreciate all that she does.
