    I have been working with Michael for close to a decade and couldn’t be happier. The level of service, the performance, and his integrity are unmatched. I was with a “larger” firm prior to trusting Michael with my retirement funds and am extremely pleased with my decision. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for advice.

    Mike was introduced to us (me & hubby) almost 10 years ago. He took time to investigate our needs, desires and the level at which we were comfortable in using the diversity available in in the marketplace. We have not regretted our decision. Mike has successfully handled our accounts and we continue to be satisfied that our financial needs are in good hands. Thanks Mike!

    After my husband passed away, Mike Richard and the Bankers Life team really stepped up and helped me with all the things that I needed to do in order to manage my financial situation. Mike has spent hours helping me get the accounts put into my name and then moved into a retirement account. I am so grateful that we choose Bankers Life, both as our supplemental insurance and as our investment accounts.

    We have started to evaluate our portfolio and was recommended Michael Richard to help with questions, review our portfolio and possible continue as our fund manager.

    Michael was very communicative and stayed on top of our appointment, which was our home!! He was able to reschedule earlier and called to provide the update, which we gratefully accepted. He listened and provided invaluable feedback even helped reordered our portfolio, at no charge!!! I would definitely recommend Michael!!!

    Michael Richard is one of those rare people in life with so much integrity and follow-through that I would trust him with any kind of our personal business. He has gone the extra mile so many times in the many years we've known him and has saved us thousands of dollars every year in everything from prescription drugs to medical insurance to investment banking.

    We have known Michael Richards for 9 years. He looked over my investments & was very supportive of me & my concerns. He was compassionate, professional, & very knowledgeable on all aspects of investments. He made us feel very at ease & trusted him. So we gave him investments. Since then they have grown fantastically. He advised on 6/2 that we don't need to worry about our future. We have more then enough to live comfortably. It's THANKS to Mike for his sound advise. We highly recommend him.

    I have been doing business with Michael Richard at Bankers Life for the last 6 years. When I met Mike I was a recent widower stumbling through retirement and completely unorganized with my financial affairs. Mike spent hours at my kitchen table over a period of months getting my $$$ affairs in order. I very much appreciate the personal service and great/sound advice he has given me to grow, preserve, and protect my nest egg.
