THE “BAD”
THE “UGLY”
THE GOOD
The Good – Fee-Only advisors do not take commissions from insurance or securities products. As such, they are supposed to be positioned to give clients the best “unbiased” advice.

THE BAD
The Bad – Most Fee-Only advisors have built-in biases against commission based products. This is a problem because there are many good commission based products that must be considered when giving financial planning advice. Click here to learn more about the Bad.
THE UGLY
The Ugly – It’s one thing to have built-in biases against useful financial planning tools. What’s worse is to have these built-in biases and NOT disclose them to clients who have no idea the biases exist. Click here to learn more about the Ugly.
BAD ADVISORS, HOW TO IDENTIFY THEM & HOW TO AVOID THEM
Website Author
Hello, my name is Roccy DeFrancesco, JD, and welcome to my website where I focus on the pros and cons of working with a “Fee-Only” advisor.
There are good and bad advisors in every industry (insurance, financial planning, law, accounting, etc.). I cover the pros and cons of several types of advisors in my book Bad Advisors: How to Identify Them; How to Avoid Them.
If you ever wondered if your current advisors are any good or would like to know if advisors you are considering using are any good, all you have to do is read my Bad Advisors book and you will wonder no more.
You can download my Bad Advisors book for free in an electronic format for FREE (printed version is $25) by clicking here or on the book image to the right.
