About
Advocacy Financial serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients with financial planning, investment advisory, portfolio management, and risk‑management services. The firm reports roughly $103 million in discretionary assets under management and offers both asset‑based advisory arrangements and fixed or hourly planning engagements commonly used in the industry.
The firm operates under a fiduciary standard and takes a comprehensive planning approach that incorporates business, tax, estate, and insurance considerations with an emphasis on risk management. For portfolio construction it relies on diversification and asset allocation informed by modern and post‑modern portfolio theory, pursues cost‑effective after‑tax results, and manages both discretionary and non‑discretionary accounts (including held‑away accounts) while providing ERISA 3(21) fiduciary services to retirement plans.
What distinguishes the firm from many peers is its affiliation with a practicing attorney and related legal activities: legal services are offered separately under distinct engagements and the firm discloses and manages the potential conflicts that can arise from those referrals. The firm also maintains relationships with third‑party sub‑advisors and custodians and has representatives who are registered broker‑dealer agents and insurance producers, arrangements the firm discloses and oversees through written policies.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
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. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
