What Makes Us Distinct

We are not just an investment shop and we are not just financial planners—we are both and so much more. As The Denham and Lillich Team, we do more than simply manage investments. Our commitment is to provide guidance on all of the factors that contribute to a client's overall financial success now, into the future, and throughout generations.

We are focused on assisting our clients with the help they need, when they need it. We pride ourselves on going the extra mile for our clients—we call it our concierge-oriented approach to wealth management. To us, every service we provide is carried out with the care and respect with which we treat our own family members. The Denham and Lillich Team recognizes the importance of getting to know you, your financial needs, your goals and lifestyle. That is the foundation we use to help you define and prioritize your long-term financial objectives and to develop a comprehensive plan that seeks to not only secure your financial future, but that of your loved ones as well.

To best accomplish this, our team made the transition to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management in the summer of 2017 after spending the previous nine years with LPL Financial. We saw tremendous value in making this move in order to better serve our clients by providing them with access to the extensive research capabilities, intellectual capital, and vast array of investment solutions of a full service brokerage firm such as Morgan Stanley. We are excited about the future and the manner in which we will be able to serve our clients moving forward.

Working With You

Do you remember when businesses took pride in providing personalized service? When meeting face-to-face was the norm, not the exception? When taking the time to get to know you was considered paramount to establishing and sustaining a long-term relationship?

As your financial advisors, we listen and respond to your needs using clear, simple language. We offer personal service and pledge to lead you with great care along the path to pursuing your goals. We can help you prioritize those goals and develop a strategy that seeks to preserve and grow your retirement assets, making it possible to pursue your chosen lifestyle and create a legacy for your loved ones. We follow a disciplined process that allows us to work with you to craft a solution that helps meet your individual needs. This process aligns our efforts with your interests, providing a road map focused on what is most important to you.
