Praise for Get Wise to Your Advisor

"Get Wise to Your Advisor is a bracing wake-up call for investors everywhere.

This sharp and accessible guide can help you separate the solid from the slippery and put your own financial life on firmer ground."

Wisdom is often borne of skepticism, and with Get Wise to Your Advisor, Lockshin provides a practical guide to help clients be thoughtful, careful, and prudent in selecting and assessing a financial advisor. His blunt and forthright overview of the tricks of unscrupulous practitioners will no doubt keep many from being duped. Bravo!"
