— Jonathan - Partner
I have been in the life insurance business for two decades. It is always difficult to find true partners who you can trust and who put the interest of clients ahead of their own. We found one of those partners in Doug Himmel and his team at Melville Capital. Doug is a true expert in the life settlement space and is an absolute pleasure to work with. They make an incredibly complex process look simply and easy. This is the mark of a true pro. I would recommend Doug and Melville to any client or advisor I know.
