I have been a client for about 16 years. Last week I had my annual portfolio review along with an…read moreextremely detailed financial view of what my family's future looks like. I have always been extremely grateful to Samantha and Sandy for their guidance but this week I have reflected even more on what a gift they have been to my family. My husband and I are both 57 with one child in high school. Slow and steady we built a secure financial future. We simply could not have done it without her exemplary advice and encouragement. Not only is Samantha uniquely talented in the realm of full scope financial planning and investment strategies, she is also a wonderful person. By becoming her client you will have an ethical, compassionate, and extremely talented ally that will help you reach your financial goals. You can build a future for yourself and your children that is bright, hopeful, and full of freedom. As the years go by and you watch the outcome of Samantha's guidance you will be overcome with the gratefulness that I feel right now. For a middle class family to build wealth takes discipline and patience, but it can be done. If I can do it you can too.

Samantha has been managing my family's portfolio since 2018. This has been one of the best…read moredecisions we have made. In 7 years, she has doubled our assets. In addition to advising us on our financial portfolios, where she has guided us on salary contributions to different pots (retirement accounts, college savings accounts for our kids, and stocks), she advises us on life insurance and linked us with colleagues to help with our taxes and living will. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Samantha and hope this can be a life-long partnership - she is very talented and astute with markets and really has our back with every decision.

My husband and I became clients at Dragon in 2011 and we met Alfred in 2013, in the midst of an…read moreout-of-state property sale (title in my name). The realtor was giving me grief about his fees during closing and this was my first big financial transaction. I was basically on the verge of tears when I called Alfred and he never flinched- we immediately got on a conference call with the realtor and Alfred didn't take any if's, and's, or but's. I don't think the realtor knew what hit him. We have absolutely trusted Alfred with anything and everything since that day and he's never disappointed. We trust him completely. He is absolutely 110% "invested" in our client-advisor relationship. He's really been a voice of calm and reason whenever we're tempted to make "emotional" financial decisions. It's hard talking money with a spouse, but Alfred knows how to talk to both of us and get us on the same page. It feels like a team and we feel lucky to have him on it! We'd highly recommend Alfred and Dragon to anyone ready to make some financial plans or has a pending financial decision, who wants someone with experience and who cares.

I had talked with four financial advisors including Fidelity Investments over 3 month period while retired. I was impressed with David Woodworth and opinions he had suggested. Basically, I purchased an annuity through 'USSA' through Fidelity Investments, so I would receive monthly checks for rest of my life. Plus, my other monthly income includes: social security, rental properties and mineral rights. In addition, I left some 401k $$$ in my Fidelity Investment Accounts, giving Fidelity Investment the 'Okay' to manages these dollars. I have been asked repeatedly by friends / family how much do I pay Fidelity Investment, my response have been minimum. They all look at me with a confusing expression, then I tell them %% I've made over past 2 yrs, and they all quickly say, 'I Would Pay For Their Services.' At retirement everybody's finances are different, and I just wanted to share my positive experience with Fidelity Investment, Walnut Creek and especially a Big Thanks to Mr. Woodworth. ***** Stars *****
