Comments

Conflicts and disputes are difficult and emotional, but their resolution can be successful, respectful and private if done using a process geared to understanding, listening, and exchange and exploration of ideas. My work as a collaborative neutral financial professional - emphasizing education and problem solving, allows me to do these things in a manner that results in success for my clients, and for me, personal satisfaction.
