However, David quickly realized that asking good questions, listening, and fully understanding his clients’ goals is the foundation of a great plan.

As a team, they make every effort to impact others in their community through a variety of outreach activities and events. In their spare time, they volunteer with soccer, football and swim.

David was highly recommended by two colleagues I respect, and after a few years, I now unreservedly recommend him to others. David helped me understand my finances during a turbulent time after my father passed away, which allowed me to regain a sense of control. He also connected me with an accountant who has worked with both David and me as I transitioned from full-time employment to self-employment. These are significant life changes, and as someone who deals with high levels of anxiety, it’s crucial for me to know that I have a plan with professionals supporting me.
I trust David’s work, and beyond that, he is a joy to talk to, whether it’s having a milkshake when he’s in DC or meeting his spouse and other clients at a pizza party. Many of his clients are also attorneys like I am, and we can be a tough and exacting crowd! I’m also an openly transgender man, and David has always treated me with professionalism and care, even advocating for me with a long-term care insurance underwriter. I look forward to many more years of planning together for my future.
I was introduced to David Roberts almost a decade ago through my fiancée and her employer. I knew little about managing my personal wealth, but David was there to fine-tune our financial plans as we merged them, gaining my trust from the start. After our wedding, he guided us on paying off debts and growing our wealth. With each child’s birth, he knew how to invest for their future. When the stock market kept me up at night, he eased my fears. He also helped us budget for our forever home.
In the past 10 years, David has become my right-hand man for all our family-related financial matters. A year ago, when I needed to assist my mother with my father's estate, David took my call immediately. He helped manage a surprise life insurance policy, offered guidance on forming a trust, and continues to provide support.
David understands my family and nourishes our financial future. He has been a supernova in my life, and I recommend him to anyone looking for a brighter tomorrow.
