Who IS Debra?

A Certified Financial Planner^TM with her Masters Degree in Retirement Planning and a Accredited Estate Planner, Debra consistently logs more than 3 times her required annual Continuing Education Credits, constantly seeking effective investment and planning strategies that enhance her client's net worth while helping to mitigate that four-letter word, risk.  Her attention to detail and ability to translate complex financial arrangements into understandable terms is unparalleled. 

However, what really sets Debra apart has nothing to do with her formidable financial skills.  Her clients consistently rave about her caring and personalized service.  Here is just one such example:

“I discovered that a client had the opportunity to garner over $18,000 that he didn’t even know was due to him!  This particular gentleman was in some very difficult circumstances -- he had lost his wife in the attacks on the World Trade Center, and was left with the daunting task of raising his children alone.  I knew he could not easily get to my office and the window to claim the money was almost closed, so I completed stock option paperwork and drove it to him for his signature.  I felt it was the least I could do!”
