**HOW WE DID IT: To compile our list of the top financial planners, we asked every CFP in the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the Financial Planners Association to cast an online ballot. Outside-firm votes counted more than inside-firm votes. Self-nominations were tossed out. A panel of esteemed local financial planners reviewed the final list.
