*As part of the FIVE STAR selection process, Crescendo business services surveyed by mail and phone approximately 46,000 consumers in the Twin cities area, and sent an additional 5,000 surveys to various financial service industry companies and personnel. On the surveys, participants were asked to evaluate only wealth managers whom they knew through personal experience, and to evaluate them based upon nine criteria: customer service, integrity, knowledge/expertise, communication, value for fee charged, meeting of financial objectives, post-sale service, quality of recommendations and overall satisfaction. You can visit Crescendo business services website at www.fivestarprofessional.com to learn more about the research process. The rating may not be representative of any one client's experience because the rating reflects an average of all, or a sample of all, of the experiences of the adviser's clients. The rating is not indicative of the future performance of Hopkins Financial Advisors, LLC's or John Jelinek. No fee was paid by John or HFA for this participation or selection.
