Local Edward Jones Financial Advisor Tim Baker and Branch Office Administrator Juli Alderman in Conyers recently were ranked within the top 25 percent of the country for excellence in client service at Edward Jones.

This honor was based upon the results of a survey in which random clients were asked to rank the service they received from the staffs of their local Edward Jones branch offices. The survey identified Baker and Alderman as providing some of the most exemplary client service within the firm.
