    The Options Lady - Laurie Itkin, CDFA Financial Advisor & Certified Divorce Financial Analyst

    Laurie's insights appear to have netted me $100k more in my amicable divorce settlement as we head…read moreinto mediation drafting. Laurie also helped check our spreadsheets for typos etc. The attorney who initially recommended Laurie had said that Laurie caught things for others that other professionals had missed. Laurie made very efficient and strategic use of our time together. Her insights were tremendously valuable.

    My girlfriend gave me a book by Laurie Itkin when she heard that I was about to go through a…read moredivorce. The book had been sitting on my desk for a while, then in one week's time I had two separate female friends tell me the story of their divorce and how the wife just wanted peace and to not deal with the money and left it to the husband allowing him to direct and narrate the financial outcome. To be honest, that's what I wanted to do... I wanted to trust that my husband would be fair and equitable because of all the years we have been together and that I was the mother to our child. Naive thinking. Many years later they regretted not facing their fears and being proactive about their finances during the divorce. This lack of financial pro-activity hit them deeply when they reached their fifties and sixties. They both had to rely on their kids to help them financially, meanwhile their ex-husbands were living quite comfortably. The adult children also grew resentful and disappointed in their mom not only because she was forced to rely on them for financial help but because she she did not advocate for more equitable outcome. These two ladies admitted this was a mistake due to fear and inaction and warned me to not do the same thing. I contacted her during mediation. Although I did not read her book, I picked it up, called her directly and we set up a time to discuss my situation. She was immensely helpful and I felt I had a savvy, credible, and very attentive advocate. She was with me all the way through the divorce. She even gave me options for vetted attorneys / mediators that she has personally worked with when the first mediator turned out to be incompetent. The 2nd mediator that I worked with was the right one for both my ex-husband and I. In my opinion, her hourly rate was an incredible value and I never questioned it because I knew that she was getting my mind wrapped around what needed to happen financially. I was being educated and empowered at the same time so that I didn't make the mistake that the other moms did. We received all sorts of bills from specialists during the mediation... her rate... I hate to say this... but it was on the low side of all the specialists. So if you are able to get her availability I would do it. I don't know what she charges now, but regardless, you are in very capable hands. It's annoying to switch advisors after you discover they suck. You won't have to do that with her. I am deeply grateful that she was able to guide me during one of the hardest times of my life. I have recommended a friend to her... and she is happy as well. Bookmark this lady. You will need her.

    Although I am not reviewing as a client, I am leaving this review as a future client of Root…read moreFinancial Partners. If you're reading this, then most likely you are on the journey in getting better informed financially for retirement. And because you're looking up Root, then most likely you ran across videos of Ari and/or James on YouTube just like me, or on Podcast. When I initially started researching retirement for my wife and myself, I was fortunate enough to have "the algorithm" direct me to Root with James and Ari. The more I watched their videos, the more I became informed of answers to questions I did not know I had. What really drew me in to watch more of their videos, was their holistic approach to retirement, which was an option I was never aware of. And combine that with their ability to explain complicated strategies using their software with real case studies was a bonus. Anyways, back to the review... I reached out to Ari directly via email, and to my surprise, he responded directly to me (I was expecting a form letter). He personally answered the general questions I had and we scheduled a meeting to determine if they can bring value, to justify their fee structure. Unfortunately, when he reviewed my current portfolio structure/allocation in detail, he was honest and said they could not bring value to justify their fees. He then proceeded to offer some guidance to other advisors they recommend, and further explained how specific advisor strategies would be better attuned to my needs in the near term. I really appreciated his candor... But what really stands out is his willingness and continues to help as much as he can, of course without providing specific investment guidance. Up until now, even though I'm not a client, he continues to take the time to respond and answer questions I have from time to time. And not just basic answers, but simplified, detailed video explanations for a better/easier understanding. I can go on with this review, but after a while, it might sound too good to be true. All I can say is reach out to Ari (Root), and you'll see what I mean. Once we're closer to retirement and can take advantage of the holistic approach they provide, we'll be sure to reach out again. Thanks again Ari!

    The team at Root Financial Partners are impressively knowledgeable. James has a way of making…read moreeverything easy to understand and follow, and their charts and calculators simplify the process. He answered questions we didn't know we had! We feel very secure entrusting our financial retirement future to James and the Root team.
