Carlos had been a financial planner for 22 years when everything changed in one Tuesday afternoon.
A long-time client passed away. His grown children inherited the portfolio, then claimed Carlos had given their father "unsuitable advice" three years earlier. The lawsuit asked for $340,000.
Carlos didn't sleep for three weeks.
What saved him? His E&O policy. Not because he did anything wrong (he hadn't). But because mounting a defense alone would have cost him $80,000+ in legal fees, plus the emotional weight of fighting it solo. His policy covered the defense, the negotiation, and the eventual dismissal.
Today his practice serves 180+ families across Connecticut.
Here's the thing about financial planning: you can do everything right and still get sued. The question isn't whether you're a good advisor (you are). The question is whether you can afford to PROVE it when someone says otherwise. 🛡️
