About
The firm provides customized investment management, financial planning, combined "wealth management" services, and occasional consulting for individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and small businesses. It advises on traditional asset classes and vehicles including mutual funds, ETFs, equities, bonds, treasuries and publicly traded REITs, and reports no assets under management as of March 25, 2026.
Investment decisions are implemented through an asset‑allocation process based on client‑specific Investment Policy Statements and an analysis of economic and political factors, with the firm accommodating written client restrictions. The firm delivers written quarterly reports of holdings and performance, does not custody client assets, and generally does not accept discretionary trading authority.
The brochure highlights that the firm’s principal is a practicing attorney with a Juris Doctor and a background in business law, a professional profile that is uncommon among investment managers. In addition to the common percentage‑of‑AUM billing option, the firm also offers a flat quarterly retainer and hourly (including capped‑hourly) fees for planning and consulting, discloses no performance‑based fees, and may vote proxies for ERISA accounts for an additional fee.

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.
