Third-party rankings and recognition from rating services or publications are no guarantee of future success or quality. Working with a highly rated advisor does not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance or results. Ratings should not be construed as an endorsement of the advisor or by any client nor are they representative of any one client’s evaluation. Generally, ratings, rankings and recognition are based on information prepared and submitted by the advisor.

Testimonials

"Working with Alex over 12 years, through the many changes in my life, including the passing of my parents and a cross-country move, has been a lifesaver.  His smart guidance and ability to fully grasp who I am and what I need have made all the difference.  I count Alex as a key reason that I’ve been able to do it all successfully.”

- Sarah S.**

"I’ve relied on Alex’s financial guidance for over 13 years and I am very glad I have. Alex’s financial advice has been spot on. He’s helped me through a divorce, a job loss and now retirement and my portfolio is in great shape. I referred a friend’s son, who lives in LA, to Alex and even though they’re cross county from each other he’s as happy with Alex’s forward thinking and advice as I am."

-Terri R.**

"Through the ups and downs of the past decade, Alex has been instrumental in securing a solid financial plan for our family. We have relied on him to help us build a strong foundation for our retirement years and transition to the next phase of life. Alex offers personal, timely, and relevant communication. We appreciate his expertise and personalized advice."
