Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I’m really pleased to hear that the support I provided met your expectations so well. It means a great deal to know that my advice felt well considered and personal to you—something I always strive for, especially with long-standing relationships like ours.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Larry was my husbands financial advisor and on his death in 2023 it was comforting to know that all his financial affairs were already placed in Larry’s care for me to inherit.
How has Larry Clarke helped you?
After the sale of the home I shared with my husband (far too large for me alone) he advised me and guided me through investment options that would be in my best interest for the future. He was my ‘peace of mind’ mentor.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Absolutely.
What could they have done better?
I don’t see that he could have done anything more……very reassuring.
Larry:
