About
Defining Legacy Financial Advisors LLC serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients with discretionary investment management, comprehensive and limited‑scope financial planning, and personal tax return preparation. The firm also assists clients in selecting and monitoring third‑party outside managers and delivers written financial plans addressing retirement, estate, insurance, business planning, and cash‑flow topics.
The firm employs a blend of passive and active management and constructs portfolios around asset‑allocation targets set in individualized Investment Policy Statements. Investment analysis draws on fundamental, technical, cyclical, and charting techniques, and accounts are reviewed periodically with the ability for clients to impose reasonable trading restrictions.
Noteworthy for a one‑advisor independent practice, the principal maintains an insurance producer license but discloses that he no longer sells insurance products and will not sell them to clients. The firm also combines financial planning and investment management into an integrated engagement and arranges client tax return preparation through a third‑party provider, offering services that are more consolidated than is typical for a solo advisory practice.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
