Branch Office Profile

Robert Robles, Resident Director for the Galleria Office, is a seasoned Wealth Management Advisor whose responsibilities include leading the Galleria branch of Merrill's Thundering Herd of experienced, high performance advisors in our north Dallas office location of Merrill.  Our team is committed to being your trusted resource and the premier Wealth Management offering in the industry.  We accomplish this for you through a relentless passion, focus, and discipline in serving the sophisticated individual and business needs of both Clients and our Financial Advisory professionals.  Our vision: Sustainable Growth, through a Preeminent Client and Employee Standard.

About Us

The advisors at the branch can offer financial strategies that come from years of combined wealth management knowledge and experience. We also stress that our role goes beyond wealth planning advice and guidance. Employing the broad resources of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, advisors can assist with retirement income planning, guidance on concentrated stock positions and traditional investments, as well as providing access to Bank of America’s estate planning services, while working with your outside professionals, such as accountants and tax attorneys.

Culture

The branch is committed to providing transparency and openness, and we believe that’s why many clients have remained with us for long periods of time. Our branch’s advisor teams understand and respect the significance that individual investors and families place on trust, and they strive to develop a level of trust and intimacy that we believe is necessary to permit frank discussions on a wide range of individual, multi-generational and business needs. Let’s discuss how the branch and the wide array of services offered may benefit you.

Community 

Through our volunteerism and charitable outreach, the branch helps support the economic, social and cultural life of the communities in which we live and work. In virtually every Merrill location across the country, employees are involved in fundraising activities meant to benefit their many neighborhoods and causes. And as a local branch office, we feel it is important for us to “give back” and help maintain vibrant, healthy communities and non-profit organizations.

Client Commitment

The branch’s mission is to address the needs of our clients while striving to exceed their expectations at all times. As our branch manager is fond of saying, “Good service doesn’t just happen, it’s up to us to make it happen.” The advisor teams within the branch understand how clients want to be treated and they strive to create an atmosphere that invites questions and makes each meeting satisfying for the client. We are committed to exceptional client service with each contact.

Advisors at This Location

Our deeply committed advisors call upon Merrill’s tools and resources to help clients pursue personal and professional financial goals, as they also help them prepare for financial and lifestyle challenges that may lie ahead.
