We keep you disciplined when markets test your resolve and motivated when your goals feel far away.

Champion

We advocate fiercely for your interests. As independent fiduciaries, our loyalty is to you — always.

Trusted by Families Across Metro Detroit

Real results for real people navigating retirement with confidence.

We were five years from retirement and honestly had no plan. The DFLT team sat with us, mapped everything out, and gave us a timeline we could actually trust. We retired on schedule and have not worried once about running out of money.
Robert & Linda M.
Retired, Clinton Township
After my husband passed, I was overwhelmed by financial decisions I had never handled alone. DFLT treated me with patience and respect, walked me through every option, and helped me feel secure again. They are more than advisors — they are family.
Patricia K.
Retired, Grosse Pointe
I am an engineer — I wanted to see the numbers, stress-test the scenarios, and understand the logic behind every recommendation. The team delivered exactly that. Data-driven planning with a human touch. Could not ask for more.

Pre-retiree, Troy

Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most from Metro Detroit families.

As fiduciaries, we are legally and ethically obligated to act in your best interest at all times. This means our recommendations are based solely on what benefits you — not on commissions or sales quotas. We believe this is the only acceptable standard for financial advice.
We work with clients across a range of financial situations. Whether you are just beginning to plan or have a substantial portfolio, the first step is a conversation to see if we are the right fit for each other. There is no minimum to start that dialogue.
Cambridge Investment Research is our broker-dealer partner, a 13-time Broker-Dealer of the Year recognized by Investment Advisor magazine. This partnership gives us access to extensive research, technology platforms, and investment solutions while we maintain full independence in serving your interests.
The best time is always now. If you are 10, 5, or even 2 years from retirement, a clear plan can dramatically improve your outcomes. Already retired? Ongoing planning ensures your money lasts and adapts to changing circumstances.
We offer both fee-based and commission-based services depending on what is appropriate for your situation. During our initial conversation, we will explain exactly how compensation works so there are never any surprises. Transparency is fundamental to how we operate.
