Dear Friends,
I’m honored to share that I’ve been recognized as a Five Star Wealth Manager for the 15th consecutive year.
This award recognizes wealth management professionals who meet rigorous evaluation criteria, including client retention, industry experience, and regulatory history. While I’m grateful for the recognition, what means the most to me are the relationships behind it.
Since joining JL Bainbridge in 2003, I’ve had the privilege of working with so many wonderful individuals and families, helping them navigate important financial decisions and plan for their futures. Many of these relationships now span decades, and I consider that the greatest reward of all.
One of the greatest compliments I can receive is when someone refers a friend, family member, or colleague to me. I’m always happy to welcome new clients to JL Bainbridge, and I’m truly grateful whenever you think of me as someone who could help the people important to you.
Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in me, for the relationships we’ve built, and for allowing me to serve this wonderful Sarasota community. I look forward to many more years together.
Warm Regards,
John Leeming

The Five-Star Wealth Manager award is issued by Five Star Professional (FSP), an independent research firm not affiliated with JL Bainbridge. Candidates are evaluated on objective criteria — regulatory and complaint history, client retention, firm review, and peer/leadership review — based on a self-completed questionnaire; no client survey was used. This rating covers the period 02/18/2026–07/31/2026 and was issued 09/01/2026. It is a point-in-time assessment, not an evaluation of ongoing services or investment advice quality, is not indicative of future performance, and does not represent any one client’s experience. Award recipients paid FSP a fee for use of marketing materials; no fee was paid for consideration or selection.
