Patrick D. Lawler Financial Advisor at Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC My role is to bridge that gap with a blend of experience and personalized attention.

What you can expect when you work with me

As your dedicated financial advisor, my approach to client service revolves around understanding where you are in your financial journey and where you aspire to be. I consider the impact of current and future tax liabilities on your financial decisions. By staying abreast of evolving tax laws and leveraging tax-efficient strategies, I aim to enhance your

financial well-being. From an investment standpoint, my philosophy is grounded in creating a portfolio that reflects your risk tolerance, time horizon, and financial objectives. I believe in a balanced approach, combining growth potential with risk management, to align your investments with your personal and financial goals. Financial responsibility is at the core of my practice. I emphasize the importance of discipline and prudent decision-making in my approach to financial planning. A key differentiator in my service is the use of trackable goals. Instead of a 'see what sticks' approach, I work with you to help establish clear, measurable objectives. We regularly review these goals, adjusting strategies as needed to help keep you on track towards achieving them. In essence, my commitment to you extends beyond mere advice. It’s about working together to support your financial journey, looking to turn aspirations into attainable goals.

You've heard of defensive driving — driving practices to help you stay safe on the road, like reducing your speed in bad weather or signaling before switching lanes. But what about defensive walking and cycling?

They're a crucial part of pedestrian and cyclist safety, and more people should practice them.

In 2024, 7,100 pedestrians were killed on the road, and in recent years, more than 1,000 cyclists have been hit and killed annually. Safety experts explain how bikers and walkers can stay safe.

Most people don’t realize this about retirement…

Retirement isn’t just about how much you’ve saved.

It’s also about:
-How you plan to draw from different accounts
-How taxes may impact withdrawals
-How long your income may need to last

Two people can have the same savings and very different outcomes based on strategy.

That’s why planning isn’t one-size-fits-all.

It’s not a fun question, but it’s an important one.

Most families don’t talk about this until they have to.
Topics like:

-Estate wishes

They’re easy to put off, but important to address.
