Welcome to Palestra Financial... We are proudly Celebrating 30 Years!!!  1986 to 2016

Wanting to help people is what first attracted Francis R Palestra (Certified Financial Planner Practitioner & Investment Advisor Representative) to the financial services industry, and that is what has kept him going throughout a 50 year career.  After 20 years in corporate finance, and now another 30 years with the public, individual efforts have grown into a family practice.  Together with his son, Damon A Palestra (Chief Operations Officer & Managing Director), and the rest of the Palestra Team, they have introduced a vision for the next 30+ years - Palestra Financial - a firm where financial structure is something that all existing and future clients deserve ... and receive.

Just another way that Palestra continues to help people help themselves to financial security.

At Palestra Financial, we work to assist clients in protecting themselves, their families and their businesses from the unexpected turns life often takes.  Our comprehensive planning approach charts a course and lends guidance for attaining financial security unique to each individual.  Our combined 75+ years of experience in financial services along with our uncompromising ethical standards provide a perspective that is paramount.
