Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor Ronald Coltrane - Wilkes-Barre (PA)

Chad McKee We have struggled for years about how best to spend and save money, while trying to pay off student loans that have outrageous interest accruing, even thought we mad payments and never deferred. We never could figure out the best approach and we were scared to act because we felt like we were just guessing at what we should do. Having young kids, our priority was to make sure we had enough money, so our student debt just sat over us like a dark cloud. We also didnt like the idea of giving someone money to tell us what to do with our money! We feared the fees would get us off track of our goals. Finally we decided to go with our parents advisors...the family referral discount was amazing and we felt like we could afford financially to try it out. This was the best decision we ever made. Greg, Scott, and Sarah are top notch. Scott listens to our worries and goals. He makes suggestions, but always reminds us that the power is in our hands to make decisions on what we feel comfortable with. Sarah is a wonderful communicator who is amazing at her job. We are thrilled to have Beratung in our corner!

KER I love the new location, at the Fayette Plaza (near Ollies & Giant Eagle). Not just because its extremely close to my home, but also because its much neater. The wait times are still what theyve always been, thats not their fault - they cant help who comes in, when, or how complicated peoples transactions can be. SSA doesnt make the laws. Once I get to the window, often my visit goes quickly. One time I was given incorrect information from an SSA agent at this location, and my Ticket To Work liaison had to handle the matter because of that, but Im not going to hold that against the entire office. Usually everyone is nice & helpful, takes as much time with you as you need, and tries to get everyone in & out quickly. The seats could be a little more comfortable, considering a lot of disabled & elderly people go there, but otherwise its a nice, clean, quiet place.

Pat Johnson This agent is superb in his financial advice and his skills as an advisor are impeccable. He is constantly learning and training to stay on top of his game. I feel very secure in utilizing this firm for my investments.
