John Mahoney, Houston, TX ~ (Attorney)

There are three things about Cambridge and its people that stand out in my mind:

  • First is their commitment to my professional development. Their guidance and mentoring has been most helpful.
  • Second is their integrity in taking serious their commitment to compliance and their fiduciary duty to their clients.
  • Finally, the people are just simply enjoyable and fun to work with and be around!!
   

Vance Howard, Roswell, GA ~ (RIA)
  • I value the positive attitude that is instilled in the staff and advisors.
  • The sharing of ideas on marketing and running a better practice is promoted at CLG. I enjoy that and it helps every advisor. It is a community environment where advisors can share ideas and foster friendships.
  • Ben Carroll is a true partner and I feel he really cares about my success. The CLG leadership team is always looking for better products and ideas to help the advisors do a better job for their clients.
   

Kim Coulter, Phoenix, AZ ~ (Insurance Brokerage Advisor)
  • As a Cambridge Legacy Group Advisor, I have enjoyed a highly successful business relationship with Ben and Dee Carroll as well as a rewarding friendship over the last 15 years. I consider it an honor and privilege to be associated with both individuals.
  • What will immediately strike anyone who meets Ben, Dee and all of the members of the CLS Home Office Team, is the commitment to making a genuine difference in people’s lives. In my view, that one simple quality has sadly become almost non-existent in today’s financial services world. Yet, at Cambridge, it is a Hallmark of the firm.
  • I do business in 32 states with over 2100 Financial Advisors and from that perspective, I submit the following: If you are a Financial Advisor looking for a firm that offers every possible avenue and opportunity for you to grow and increase your current success, you can stop looking. You have found “the perfect community” to become a part of in the Cambridge Legacy Group.
   

Mike Logsdon, Dallas, TX ~ (Financial Advisor)
  • Family. There is more genuine care and support for each other at Cambridge Legacy than I have experienced in all the other organizations I have been involved with combined.
  • Opportunity. Cambridge Legacy empowers and challenges you to become the best person you can be both professionally and within your community.
  • Service. Cambridge Legacy focuses our efforts on the Clients’ best interests and creates a high trust relationship that simplifies what is otherwise a complicated business.
