I did a search in this forum, but most of the old threads only contained harsh words for commission-based financial advisers who work for financial institutions.

I know the basics of personal finance, but many of the blogs, books, and people I've spoken to seem to recommend getting a financial planner to help with long-term financial planning. I'm now at the point in my life where this is probably a good idea. Does anyone here use fee-based financial planners (i.e. those with CFP designations)? If so, what have been your experiences generally? If you can make some recommendations, feel free to PM me.

TIA.
