What Are Others Saying About Us
J.L. Perkins Wealth Management is a small firm with a familial atmosphere and very personal service. You feel more like a friend than a client, but you are confident of professional services. The sense of security and comfort is how the firm has helped my wife and I the most. This peace of mind about our financial well-being is a key element to our enjoyment of our retirement.
Your firm has helped me the most by listening and helping me discover my comfort zone, by looking at my entire financial picture and projecting my income to the end of my life. It’s also very reassuring to be able to discuss my planned expenditures with someone I trust and to ask questions such as- can I afford this remodel or should I pay off my house? No robo-adviser is going to answer those questions.
JLPWM encourages responsible investing, not get rich quick schemes. Maybe, most importantly it’s a no pressure relationship. The objective is always to do what is best for the client. One of the best things is their encouragement to us to enjoy the wealth that we have amassed so far.
JLPWM has a great staff, they are responsible, helpful, professional and knowledgeable. They listen and the then guide you to your goals. Lee has made us comfortable with our financial future.
I have always appreciated their willingness to educate and inform me objectively concerning our investment options, from aggressive to conservative. He and his team are always available when I reach out to them. They are committed to customer service.
I did not find what I was looking for until I met with Lee Perkins. He made me conformable as well as assured me we would work together to meet my financial goals. That is exactly what we did. We had honest and frank conversations which led me to Lee’s plan for me. It was not some cookie cutter plan that is presented to everyone. It was tailored to meet my needs and concerns.
The team at JLPWM is very knowledgeable & patient. I live out of state and that has never been an issue. Phone conferences or zoom meeting make things very convenient. Lee and his team are accessible and I can sleep well at night knowing my money is well invested and monitored.
