Absolutely -- here's a polished, genuine-sounding review you can use:…read more I'm extremely grateful for the help and support I received from my bankruptcy attorney. From the beginning, they took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all of my questions, and guide me through the entire process. They were professional, patient, responsive, and truly cared about helping me get through a very stressful situation. Thanks to their knowledge and dedication, I felt much more confident and comfortable throughout the process. They made a difficult experience much easier and helped me move forward with a fresh start. I highly recommend this bankruptcy law firm to anyone who is looking for an experienced, trustworthy, and compassionate attorney. Thank you so much for all your help!

Dealing with debt can be extremely stressful and scary. Michael and his team made going through a…read moredifficult time so much better. Michael came up with thoughtful, innovative ideas to handle my situation and helped me out immeasurably. His experience and relationships working on 4000 debt cases showed. He came up with an affordable, tailored strategy that helped me out of a very tough spot. Most of all, Michael cares about his clients and it shows. I cannot recommend Michael and the Financial Counseling Center strongly enough. Highest recommendation. Good people you can trust.

From our very first meeting, he demonstrated exceptional understanding of wealth management and a true commitment to my financial goals. I especially love that he takes time explaining complex investment strategies in a way that is easy for me to understand! And if he has to review it a second Or third time ;-) (because I'm more of a creative artist and not much of a money person) he's amazingly patient and such a good teacher. He gives me complete confidence in my financial future. Thanks a million Nico! You have helped me understand and helped me get to a point where I can retire and for that I am forever grateful! Anyone who works with Nico will discover quickly that it is rare to find an advisor who combines this level of sharp financial expertise with genuine care & the ability to clarify questions & concerns with peace of mind. It's been an incredible experience and looking forward to our continued work together. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to secure their future and learn new investment & retirement strategies. FIVE STARS all the way!!

I had an in depth meeting with Sam Rad yesterday and I feel compelled to write a review to reflect…read moremy experience. With regards to seeking advice from a financial advisor, the most important aspect to me is trust. I have found that Sam is someone that has a very high level of trust and truly cares about helping other people. I had been scheduling meetings and doing research; Sam was the first to respond and he always held himself to a very high level of professionalism. I, myself, am a CPA, and I found that Sam was very knowledgeable. I look forward to working with Sam because I truly believe that Sam puts his clients' needs first, giving honest, insightful, advice in a manner that is easy understood by someone that does not have a degree in finance. Thank you, Sam.

Their financial planning process is so in-depth that I referred to it as "financial therapy." It allows you to get everything out on the table so ACap can provide you with a 360 degree view of your financial health.

I'm looking forward to continuing my partnership with ACap as I'm confident that they can help my family achieve our financial goals. Thanks, Ara & Tamia!

Gratitude in that I feel treated like a family member. And confidence that my ongoing financial literacy and growth as an investor is headed in the right direction. You need to be prepared and don't waste time. If you are, then ACap will provide you with a true partner that will help you grow financially.

Since we had never needed one before, my husband and I wanted to be sure we were making thoughtful decisions for our future. We ultimately chose Patrick, and we couldn't be happier with that decision. His focus on sustainable investing made him stand out even more and aligned well with our values. Patrick is not only highly knowledgeable and professional, but also approachable, thoughtful, and easy to talk with. Nearly three years later, we remain extremely pleased with both his guidance and the results. The addition of Rachel Strong to the team has been another positive development. She has been wonderful to work with as well, and together they provide outstanding service and support.

We needed someone we could trust, that can help organize our finances, set up some estate planning, and overall improve our financial literacy. We're so happy to have found Impact Fiduciary and to work with Chris whose always made sure we are set up for success. He's extremely knowledgable and patient in walking us through what financial decisions need to be made, and exactly what we sign up for as we look into certain investments. He's great at keeping up with us, even when we tend to lose sight of our goals or meetings. We've been fortunate to see a lot of growth after working with Chris, and it's assuring knowing we're investing with those who have similar values as us. Looking forward to working with them for years to come!

Living paycheck to paycheck--despite having solid incomes and no kids--was frustrating and stressful. We initially expected to walk away with a simple budget. What we got was so much more. Michelle didn't just organize our numbers--she gave us clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. She removed the fear we had around money and replaced it with a real plan and direction. More importantly, she set us up for long-term success and a stronger financial future. We truly can't recommend her enough.

I decided to see Lysa after having her website bookmarked for months. I am in my late 20's and have…read morea master's degree. I make above average income for my age bracket but that didn't matter. I was spending more than I earned and couldn't quite figure out how to stop. I kept track and limited spending on clothes, trips, upgrading phone... But I still wasn't making it to the end of the month without using my CC. I didn't understand why this was so difficult. My parents kept saying, "just spend less than you earn" but I couldn't figure out what that looked like without living a life where all my money went to bills and I never saw happy-hour again. I'd do that for a while and then be miserable and binge spend for a month and be back in the cycle. I'd read financial blogs but it never taught me the skills I needed or the steps that fit my specific finances. Lysa was invaluable! She never made me feel ashamed of my debt - which I was very fearful about. She helped me set up appropriate weekly spending amounts and over a few months we scaled it back. It was functional, I could still get my hair done and go out to eat 2/wk. She taught me how to examine my finances for non-essentials, to examine my investments to determine if they fit my goals, to set goals & save for them, and to prepare for my retirement. I have now paid off 1 credit card and am on my way with another. It initially seemed counter-intuitive to pay someone to help me get out of debt but honestly there is NO way I'd be able to do it as effectively or quickly on my own. It's my best investment to date. I try to tell everyone I know to go work with her but they may have to bookmark it like I did until they are ready. It's not magic. It takes work! BUT the accountability, support, and knowledge from Lysa makes it completely possible.

Lysa helped us get all our current finances in order, plus we now have a great game plan for both our short term and long term financial goals (college, home, retirement, etc.). The "homework" she gave us between sessions involved tracking expenses and setting up new accounts, and she made it all so easy. And on top of all the helpful advice she provided for our personal situation, she also gave us amazing referrals for another family member needing some tax and medical insurance advice. Highly recommend!

My situation changed seemingly overnight and I needed someone who not only knew what they were doing but they were actually a decent human being and responsive.
