About

The firm provides both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and related financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and pension and profit‑sharing plans. Services described in the brochure include investment management, retirement and estate planning, tax and cash‑flow analysis, education funding, and insurance review.

Portfolios are implemented through customized, asset‑allocation based approaches using equities, fixed income and mutual funds, with periodic reviews and the option for automatic rebalancing. The firm operates a discretionary advisor‑managed program that is closed to new clients and a Structured Investing program run with an unaffiliated sub‑advisor on a non‑discretionary basis; the majority of assets reported are managed non‑discretionarily (approximately $32.1M non‑discretionary vs $7.1M discretionary).

The firm’s principal is a licensed attorney who maintains an active part‑time legal practice and may offer legal services to clients under separate engagements, a relationship the brochure identifies as creating a potential conflict of interest. The combination of a solo, attorney‑led advisory practice, a substantial non‑discretionary asset base, and relationships with pension/profit‑sharing plans distinguishes the firm from many independent peers; the brochure also discloses no material legal or disciplinary proceedings.

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.
