LaFleur & Godfrey is a SEC Registered* Investment Advisor (RIA) based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The firm traces its origins to 1987, when James LaFleur and Richard Godfrey began serving individuals and families in the West Michigan area with professional money management services. Although both Jim and Rick have since retired, Dan VanTimmeren, John Koczara, and John Dice lead the firm with the same high standard and investment principles set forth 35 years ago.  While we have grown organically throughout the years, in 2020, L&G acquired the assets of Gimbal Capital Management and in 2021, Investment Counsel, Inc. came on board. We welcome you to check us out and see why a diversified stock centric portfolio, grounded on research and analysis may be right for you.
