His use of technology to base decisions on reality and history vs predictions like the bank does, made a lot of sense to me.

Looking forward to a successful investment strategy to get me to and through retirement.

I wanted to share my experience with Marshall Financial Services! They helped me to get where I am…read moretoday. It is a pleasure to share the good news. Marshall Financial Services helped my husband and I create an investment strategy several years ago to enable us to have a secure retirement! Along with the varied portfolios and wide range of options they helped us get Long Term Health Care. This turned out to be a major asset to us. In was only 6 years after getting it that my husband became ill, needed in home care, medical equipment and later on an out of home care facility. The LTHC took care of all his needs. His care was excellent and we had no need to touch our investment assets. Now that I am alone I appreciate even more the security of knowing with Marshall Financial Services that I am not alone and they are looking out for my best interest. They go the extra mile in service and as I have heard from other persons I know who have invested with them, that they are as pleased with them as I am. Sincerely, Helen Huston

I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.

Working with Kyle Clark has been a standout experience from start to finish…read more After a deeply frustrating experience with another financial advisor program, I was cautious about starting over, but working with Kyle has been a complete 180. From the start, Kyle was thorough and patient. He walked me through transferring all of my existing funds, helped me establish clear savings goals, and gave me concrete, actionable guidance I could actually act on. What impressed me most was his timing: all of this unfolded during a period of significant personal transition for me, and he handled every step with professionalism and calm. The results have spoken for themselves. My portfolio has reached record highs, and for the first time, I genuinely feel in control of my financial future. If you're looking for an advisor who is competent and steady under pressure, I can't recommend Kyle highly enough!

After being a long time, client I was burned by a discrepancy on my 2022 returns. The tax team made…read morean error which caused fees and penalties to accrue. The IRS started sending me letters last year about additional taxes I owed for 2022. I brought these letters in to seek their professional help. They took their time, drafted some letter, all the while, penalties and fees were growing. I had to seek outside professional help who guided me to pay the rightful amount of taxes owed to the IRS to stop the bleeding. It took this new company 72hrs to take action. I reached out to the knoke group to see if they had the integrity to pay for the $1,000 penalties and fees that they caused and their reply was " we will give you $150" and wiped their hands clean of their mistake. I'm baffled by their lack. If you want overpriced service and unanswered questions this is the company for you.
