Testimonials and Gallery
"My wife, Gail, and I engaged Michael Petracca in 2011 as our Financial Planner and Advisor, when he was referred to us by valued colleagues. In the years since, we benefited from Michael's very excellent, and reliably consistent professional skills. His manner, always cognizant of the weightiness of the topic, is assuring and level-headed, and his fine reputation is as well-earned as his noteworthy success is well deserved. We trust and respect Michael without reservation, and applaud his fluency with every aspect of our financial lives. This trust is shared by the family members and business colleagues to whom we have referred him, and we look forward to many years of working partnership."

"Our experience with HJP Financial has been extraordinary. Michael Petracca has been our financial advisor for the past six years. He was recommended to us just prior to my retirement, and we hit the road running. Three areas come to mind. First, he took charge immediately and consolidated our various assets, which were particularly diverse and spread out. He took what could have been a daunting task and made it seamless and painless. Second, he has provided a consistent financial strategy that factors in all aspects of our financial world and regularly provides updates and laymen‐friendly explanations of our progress and future expectations. He sets realistic goals, which are constantly monitored. Third, the entire team at HJP are remarkably responsive to all our needs and requests and always bring a sense of warmth and caring in all of our interactions. I can honestly say that working with HJP Financial has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made and has provided us with a more confident retirement."

"In May of 2021, I saw a free Facebook seminar, Taxes in Retirement. On a whim, I signed up. I half listened as I was working. Michael intrigued me with a few topics, after the call, absolutely NO pressure. I signed up for 2nd time and paid closer attention, I was more intrigued, again NO pressure to sign up. An appointment was set and my wife and I went to his office. He explained, at great length, financially where we were, where we would like to be and he provided a solid path on how to get there. My wife and I have been working with Michael and his wonderful, attentive staff at HJP since then. They provide several webinars throughout the years, as well as group quarterly update Zoom meetings. They are always available for questions and treat us like family. HJP has our best interests at heart and have moved us from 6 figures to 7 figures as well as giving us the peace of mind one needs, to know they are not alone on their financial goals. I highly encourage everyone to contact HJP for a free consultation. Once you speak to them you will understand what I am trying to convey in this elongated review. :-)"

"Michael was recommended to us by our accountant. My husband Joe and I had made some poor investments, and we weren’t sure how to proceed. Michael carefully assessed our situation and tailored a plan designed to set us on the right path, always explaining complex financial concepts in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. Michael’s planning approach gave us the financial security we always wanted. Michael always had time for us, meeting with us a few times a year to review our progress and recommend adjustments as needed. Sadly, my husband passed away in 2022, giving me the sole responsibility for the finances. Because of the way Michael set up our accounts, our annuities, IRAs and investments all moved seamlessly into my name. It was a very difficult time for me, but Michael’s professionalism gave me financial confidence at a time when I really needed it. I’d recommend Michael to anyone who wants to work with a knowledgeable financial advisor who will take the time to explain things in an easy-to-understand manner. His expertise, professionalism and personal approach makes him a real stand-out in the industry. I don’t know what I would have done without him."
