Hear From My Clients
We didn't know if we had all our bases covered or if we'd be OK in retirement. Our financial direction felt uncertain. Friends recommended Paul Kurisky as their Advisor. Our first meeting left us feeling secure in moving forward. We've never felt pressured or unimportant. This relationship gives us confidence and peace of mind with our finances. It's been refreshing to have a portfolio that meets our needs. Paul's team is always available, willing to answer any questions, and practically family.

It is hard to believe that you have been our Financial Advisor since December 2008. Since then, my wife and I have come to view you as a trusted financial advisor and confidant. Thanks to your professionalism, responsiveness, and guidance you and your team have grown our investments to the point where we will be able to retire comfortably with minimal financial concerns while maintaining our current lifestyle. We are very grateful and look forward to continuing our relationship.

I first met Paul shortly before my husband died, and I have continued to be impressed for the 15+ years we have worked together. Thankfully, I did not have to travel my financial journey alone! I have found Paul to be dependable, knowledgeable, honest and genuinely interested in helping his clients. I so appreciate his availability since I frequently have questions, thoughts and concerns. Paul never fails to respond. He has been a tremendous resource in helping us with major financial decisions.

9Insurance products are offered in conjunction with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC’s licensed insurance agency affiliates.
10Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan’s investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan’s flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan’s investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state’s own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state’s tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.
11Municipal bonds may not be appropriate for all investors. Income generated from an investment in a municipal bond is generally exempt from federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) and its Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide any tax/legal advice. Consult your own tax/legal advisor before making any tax or legal-related investment decisions.
