I have known Ralph Adorno for probably 25 years. He worked with my parents, and I began to assist them with their finances. Ralph always kept me abreast of their situation, making things clear and concise so that the "common layman" had no questions at the end of speaking to him. Fast forward, Ralph became my husband's and my planner, as well as three of my siblings. Over the years, Ralph has guided our family to a place where we are well-rounded and comfortable with making financial decisions. He is a persistent and caring force behind helping us to structure our financial future.

My husband and I attended a few financial planning seminars and always felt that the presenters promoted and sold a specific product. Ralph had a different and unique approach. Not only was he informed; he was not trying to sell a one size fits all product but rather to share his expertise and wisdom. We scheduled a complimentary visit. The core of Ralph's approach is to engage with his prospective clients, listen, learn our dreams and goals, and get to know us. He promptly returns calls and regularly reaches out to check in. We trust him implicitly.

I attended one of Ralph’s seminars several years ago, which turned out to be a worthwhile and rewarding experience. Ralph listened to my concerns regarding my approaching retirement and helped me develop an investment plan that reflected my concerns and risk tolerance level. I value his understanding of insurance and annuities to help amass wealth and protect assets. His expertise has provided me with a true sense of financial security. Ralph is patient and is available to answer my questions. He continues to provide valuable advice regarding my investments and, more importantly, is invested in me and my financial success.

My wife Lee and I met Ralph when he gave a series of presentations on various investment topics. He presented different ideas and financial realities that were new to us. He is a creative thinker, his logic made sense, and he is very straightforward, so I wanted to talk with him. There is no doubt his wealth of experience would benefit thousands of people. He wants his clients to realize they can feel safe, secure, free from anxiety or fear, and live life to the fullest each day. Ralph has earned our respect and trust. We consider him a vital resource. I also believe him to be a friend and a mentor. He cares about you and your family, and as a bonus, he’s a lot of fun to be around. He and his wife June mean a great deal to us.

He serves as a sounding board for my ideas. I have trust in his advice, and we've become friends.

I met Ralph at a free class at the library that he gave on retirement planning. When I met with Ralph, he asked me all the specific questions about my current finances and the right questions about what I wanted. He needed to live my idea of a comfortable retirement. He put a plan together for me and walked me through it. He heard that I had little experience in investment and patiently began guiding me and recommending sources to improve my education, which set me at ease. His expertise, patient, and honesty are reassuring. He checks in regularly to ensure I stay on track and always teaches me something new whenever we speak.

My wife and I worked with a financial consultant who was only interested in his financial wellbeing and his hefty fees. We knew that there had to be a far superior alternative. By chance, I came upon an ad for a seminar to be presented by Ralph Adorno. We attended and are satisfied that we did. Ralph explained a route to make our nest egg grow, compounding the exorbitant fees we saved and re-energizing our accounts for safety, growth, and income. We now are looking forward to a more secure future.

Mr. Adorno successfully established an intimate, informal climate in this popular program, which facilitated the give and takes exchange of ideas and perspectives appropriate for this mature and sophisticated audience. He was a very knowledgeable and facile lecturer. The high interest of this class was a testimony to Mr. Adorno's expertise both as a financial planner, and more importantly, as an effective teacher.

I am a retired Police Inspector currently residing in Bronx, N.Y. I have known Ralph Adorno for over 20 years. During these years, I, including my nephew and my granddaughter, have had the pleasure of utilizing Mr. Adorno's services for several personal matters. I can honestly say with conviction that I have been delighted throughout my years of experience with him. I have found him an honest, reliable, meticulous, and a knowledgeable person. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a superior financial consultant.
