Jim works closely with our team as our insurance specialist.  We understand that death and disability are risks to any long-term plans, including financial plans.  Any robust financial planning should include reviewing and determining if insuring those risks is recommended.  We also recognize that for certain clients, insurance can be attractively structured as a highly tax-effective investment rather than simply a risk management tool.  This is where Jim’s expertise is especially valuable.  Jim is highly qualified in the areas of tax planning and insurance structuring, and his extensive experience coupled with his thoughtful analysis has proven extremely valuable to our clients.
