“I was referred here by my real estate agent by the name of Jonathan. He told me to go to his accountant named Tony. My husband and I have been coming to Tony for the past 2 years! He was great! This year, he is booked, and we could only get remote appointments. I'm disappointed.... they said his partner Garett Jones is available for a meet. I've done a whole research on him... including yelp reviews... so far, my investigation is complete, and we have decided to go for it! He seems legit and has nothing but good 5 star reviews amongst the people. I'm hoping that he is as great as Tony, if not BETTER... I'll be updating here after our appointment.”

“WOWWWW. I have to say the servicing department at Val-Chris Investments has made major improvements over the last few years! Whenever I have a question or I need help with an investment issue I speak with Ryan Boulter in servicing and he responds back to me In minutes not hours or days. EXTREMELY detailed with his work. Nowadays you just don't find this level of customer service anymore.There was a time when I did not get this level of service but this has been dealt with at Val-Chris Investments and what a difference! I would highly recommend Val-Chris Investments!”

“I've never written a review about a bank before - I suppose I should have as I've been with some really crappy banks in the past (and I'm talking about the big guys).We came to City National because the bank we were using at the time apparently didn't want our business (it's a long story and I won't bore anyone with it). I did a huge amount of research and happened upon City National as they are a bank that deals with and understands the entertainment industry. This industry has its quirks and oddities that most banks just don't understand. After a phone conference, we decided to open our new business and personal accounts with City. Let me say, it was definitely the right choice.Jessie, Josie, Kassandra and Pedro have all been absolutely a joy to work with. They go above and beyond when we need their help. They always greet everyone with a smile. Here is a brief little story about why this team is amazing:Several years ago I needed to send a wire but I was out of the country. Jessie was also out of the country but when he found out that I was inquiring about sending a wire while I was out of the country, he literally called me directly to make sure that I was well. He was afraid that I might have been kidnapped! Mind you, he was on holiday himself and took the time to call me. He even had Josie try to reach me as well. I don't know about you, but to me, that is the very definition of amazing service and an amount of caring that one doesn't find with any other financial institution. As a business owner, it is so important to have a team of banking professionals that are responsive to one's needs and this is definitely the team!!Thank you Team Anaheim - you are the best!!!!”

“I have been with Chatterton and Associates for over 8 years. I started out gradually with them transfering my accounts one at a time as I have had some bad experiences with financial planners in the past. They have exceeded my expectations in their services that they provide. In addition, I have access to Trust management as well as tax planning and preparation, all under the same roof. There is coordination amongst the three groups to make sure that your assets not only grow, but are also protected. I give them a five star rating and I have invited my friends to look at this firm as well. They provide free class lectures on a regular basis that I can take my friends to. Awesome company.”

“During my visit to the Charles Schwab Main Street branch, Alejandro Diaz's professionalism and knowledge stood out. He listened to my needs, provided expert guidance, and made the experience seamless. I would rate him 10 out of 10.”

“It has been one year since my initial review of this group and my positive feeling has been justified. Scott Sutcliffe is my professional advisor and his team has been very helpful in moving my account from UBS to WF. My annual fees have fallen. Access online is easy. All team members are easy to reach. Any questions I've had concerning investment issues are well resolved and responded to. The old UBS team was good, but my new team seems even better. I'm not yet ready to give 5 stars at the one year mark, but will follow up within the coming year as required.A larger team is not always a responsive one. When I had my account at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney I had a huge team with nobody really able to answer questions except one low placed clerk. Needless to say, glad I'm not with them any more.”
