Cornerstone Advisors supported us with our core provider contract. The process was efficient, organized and completed within our established timelines. Our experience with Justin Colella, Senior Consultant was professional, and he exceeded our expectations at every level. He provided us with documents and reports that were detailed and gave us the information to make decisions. Thank you, Justin and Cornerstone Advisors.  - Scott E. Evans, President/CEO, Homestead Savings Bank
