Social Security Guidance for a Public Employee

"Mr. Hayes is truly an amazing, kind, knowledgeable and compassionate gentleman. His clients are fortunate to have him looking out for their financial future! After reading his very informative online article about the repeal of the Social Security Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination Provisions and how it may affect public employees, I reached out through email to see if he could provide insight. To my amazement, he immediately answered my question, taking time out of his busy schedule to provide both opinion and expert advice to an individual who was not even a client. After communicating with him several times during the past few months, it became increasingly apparent what an astonishing person Mr. Hayes is. His willingness to assist a complete stranger with his unimaginable degree of respect and kindness speaks volumes as to his character. I can only imagine the excellent service his clients receive. I wish him the best for the future."
