Attorneys

Doug comes from a family of attorneys, and as one himself takes a special interest in working with other attorneys to help them improve their financial lives. Attorneys have unique opportunities and challenges that need to be considered in developing their financial plans.

They typically begin saving later in their career, given the length of their education and commonly having student debt. Cash flow management and starting dedicated savings are critical parts of their financial plans at the beginning of their careers.

Attorneys have great income-potential as their careers progress and retirement savings and tax planning become focus areas. As they grow a family, family protection planning, estate planning, and planning for the education of their children become priorities.

Attorneys are experts in their practice areas of law and their professional time is extremely valuable. They typically don’t have the time or interest to stay informed about important financial planning topics, tax strategies, or investments that will improve their financial lives, and instead should consider engaging a financial professional whose focus will be on their success.
