Raymond James has recruited financial advisors Justin Adams and his father, Stephen Adams, to join the existing San Francisco, CA, office of Raymond James & Associates, the traditional employee broker-dealer of Raymond James Financial.

Justin and Stephen Adams, both senior vice presidents of investments, are joined by registered service associate Carol Hines. They join from Sterne Agee, where they managed more than $200 million in client assets and had annual fees and commissions of more than $1.1 million.

Justin began his financial services career in 2000 with Dean Witter and then joined his father at Van Kasper & Co, which was acquired by Wells Fargo. In 2004, they joined Nollenberger Capital Partners, which was acquired by Sterne Agee in 2011.

With over 40 years of experience, Stephen began his financial career with Shearson Hammill then opened the first West Coast branch for Loeb/Rhoades. He later helped found Van Kasper & Co and in 2004 moved with Justin to Nollenberger/Sterne Agee. Over the years, he has held several leadership roles in securities industry associations.
