Frequently Asked Questions |

Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy? |

The potential client does not pay anything until a complimentary comprehensive review and analysis is presented and after the relationship is established.
If it is decided that we are a fit, we establish the relationship and portfolio, and we would assist the client in moving to another firm if not satisfied. We strive for happy clients who will tell their friends about us. |
