My wife and I have been working with Mike and Ross now for over 5 yrs. They are professionals in every sense of the word as well as my friends. It's rare when you can call Mike or Ross and arrange a quick meeting and talk about what's on you mind. They have guided us from signing up for Social Security to receiving some of our first benefit payments. They impressed me at a free lunch to discuss the best way to maximize your SS payments when they asked the question why are you / we here and they stated that when they gave us the SS plan, which is different for everyone, that you would like to continue
