Expert Statements

Harrison Kennard, Founder of Lakewood Wealth Management

“We believe financial planning is about much more than investments. Every client has a unique story, unique priorities and different goals. Our job is to understand what matters most to them and create a plan that helps support those objectives. Whether we're working with a family across multiple generations, a healthcare professional or a young athlete navigating newfound opportunities, we want to serve as a trusted partner through every stage of life.”

Harrison Kennard, Founder of Lakewood Wealth Management

“We wanted a partner that would allow us to continue operating independently while giving us access to quality technology and resources. LPL's platform provides the tools and support we need to create a better overall experience for our clients. The technology, planning capabilities and access to subject matter experts across a wide range of disciplines stood out to us, and we're excited about the opportunities this move creates for both our team and the families we serve.”

Harrison, Charles, and Justin have distinguished themselves through thoughtful planning, personalized advice and a commitment to serving clients through every stage of life. We are honored they chose LPL and look forward to supporting their continued growth.”
