  • Ted and the team at Mooney Lyons have been extremely helpful to both me and my husband. Ted's knowledge and his ability to completely understand our needs as well as our retirement goals, are beneficial and reassuring to us. Due to my husband's recent retirement, we have had many questions and concerns about our investments due to the volatile market and economy! Ted and his team are understanding and patient, putting us at ease with our concerns. Both my husband and I would highly recommend Ted without any hesitation!

What to Expect: Ted’s Process

  • Our first meeting can be held over the phone, video conference or in a casual diner down the street from our office.

    The purpose of this meeting is twofold:

    For you to learn about Ted and about Mooney Lyons.

    And for us to learn about you!

    We want to know what your expectations and dreams are and if we can help you achieve them.

    If there is similar interest, we set up the next meeting.

  • We spend time taking inventory of your current situation and goals.

    If you don’t currently have any goals in mind, we can collaborate to set goals as we work together.

  • We meet a couple of weeks later and based on our previous meetings - we discuss customized investment suggestions and customized planning suggestions.

  • If you decide to start working with us, you will meet with Ted every 3-12 months depending on your unique situation.

    If you’re still undecided about working with us, we’d be happy to meet again to discuss any remaining questions. We want you to feel confident in your decision!
