Testimonials

  • Troy


    Just wanted to take a moment and thank Mike, Lucas and his team at Cochran Mickels. We have been using them for around 10 years and everything has gone great. They always respond quickly to any questions or concerns anyone from my family has. I feel confident in what they are doing and excited to continue to see our family’s growth continue to grow with help with their strong hands.

  • Amelia


    We first met with CochranMickles when my husband was getting ready to retire. We did a lot of Internet researching before we decided upon that appointment. We were as nervous about the prospect of someone else going over our finances as we were about being able to afford retirement. We’d heard horror stories about retirees who were duped by financial advisors who turned out to be unscrupulous. We quickly surmised this would not be the case here. Meeting with them to do our retirement plan was money well spent. A few years later, after my husband retired, we asked CochranMickles to handle our retirement.

  • Norm


    I want to thank CochranMickels for fifteen years of steady growth in my Trust and Savings Accounts. Your availability and counsel have provided me with a secure financial plan that allows me to be confident that those who succeed me will benefit. In addition, it is comforting to know that I can call on CochranMickels when questions arise on wills and other financial related matters. Both you and my account executive, Lucas Staples, have been a pleasure to do business with. I look forward to more years of financial security with your company.

Distribution

(Our Focus)

Focused on the distribution phase—where retirement plans succeed or fail.

Most financial advice is built around accumulating assets. Retirement is different—you’re drawing income, managing taxes, and protecting your lifestyle through changing markets. Our planning is built around the distribution phase so your income strategy stays sustainable and adaptable.
