Nancy H.

-San Rafael, CA

Richard set up two trusts for me over many years. Recently, I found my home in another state had not been put into the trust properly. I did not have my trust papers. I called Richard who was on vacation but called back right away. He was able to locate my trust documents in his files and email me a copy. He saved the day. What a competent and professional lawyer. He would not even charge me. How refreshing to know an attorney like Richard. I highly recommend him.

Matt G.

-San Rafael, CA

I met Richard a few years ago when we needed to set up a living trust with my mother. He was professional, knowledgeable, personable and treated us as old friends. Most people feel a bit out of their element when dealing with legal matters, but Richard made it smooth and painless, even educating us along the way. We have since met with Richard on a couple of other legal matters and he didn't even charge us for some of the work and what he did charge us for was extremely reasonable. Easily deserves the highest recommendation.

Carol H.

-Kailua, CA

I have been working with Richard for over a year now to complete the complicated & disorganized estate of which I am the trustee. Without his diligence and perseverance, we would have lost a valuable property to foreclosure. He took on the case after our first attorney had it for a year and accomplished nothing. My family & I can't thank him enough for seeing this through no matter how hopeless it seemed. He's the best.

Barbara R.

-Novato, CA

Richard helped my sister and me review our mother's Will and Trust. He have us excellent advice. He mentioned several procedures we need to do that we never heard about. He gave us common sense advice and was highly personable and professional. I highly recommend him.

Mary V.

-San Rafael, CA

Richard has been a great help to us in setting up our will, advance planning, and so forth. He was recommended by a friend and we've been more than pleased. He's patient, explains everything, and helped us think through various angles. And he's great at answering other questions and making needed amendments that come up as time goes by. Also, he makes it easy to meet with him, whether at your home or in his office. I'd highly recommend him to others -- he has compassion and really aims to help you, not simply to get the bucks.

Julie S.

-Petaluma, CA

Richard did ALL of our will and living trust work - and even made some adjustments for us without charge. He is a real stand-up guy. He is simply the BEST. Highly recommend.

Terrie G.

-San Rafael, CA

Richard helped my husband and I with our trust, our wills and our powers of attorney. He came recommended to us, and I in turn recommend him myself. His unique professional experience gives him a very special perspective on trusts. Very easy going, patient and kind.

Jack D.

- Oakland, CA

I was referred to Richard by my banker. He is an excellent attorney. Practical and down to earth. He did everything I needed, gave me excellent advice, and then put it all together for me. He is easy to work with and I heartily recommend him to everyone.

Mark S.

-Walnut Creek, CA

Richard is the best. He helped my wife and I set-up our Trust for our kids and from start-to-finish was great to work with. We initially met at our home in Walnut Creek and then the second time, he met us in downtown San Francisco (where we both work) to make things easier for us.

The legal work was tight and he is just a really great guy.

Highest recommendation!

Sandy M.

-Novato, CA

Richard is currently helping me deal with difficult ex-in-law as I handle their son's Trust fund. He has offered several solutions to a problem that will continue for a long time. Allowing me to make informed decisions has lifted a heavy burden & Richard will be there for me as we move forward. Responds quickly, honest & straight forward, he has provided mental relief, education, options and a path to resolution. I like him & definitely recommend him. My worries are gone. Thanks Richard!

VL.

-Novato, CA

We had a great experience with Richard!

Richard is professional and very personable at the same time. We loved how he gave us lots of face-to-face time and took the time to explain everything in language that was easy to understand. We appreciated his follow-through and his patience with us (with our numerous questions). We have recommended him to several friends and will definitely return to him when it's time to update our estate paperwork. Also his rates are reasonable. Thank you Richard!

Luke B.

-San Francisco, CA

- Richard came highly recommended by a friend of mine who is a high level attorney at the DOJ.
- He was very personable, empathetic, and efficient.
- From our very first conversation I had the fullest confidence that he would VIGOROUSLY defend my mom's Trust and Estate.
- His hourly rate was very much inline with what other local attorneys with similar years of experience charge.
- A small retainer, equivalent to 5 hours, was all that was required for a case that could have ultimately resulted in litigation. (Thankfully due to his skillful approach things never escalated to that level)
- At the conclusion of his work, Richard provided a very detailed and easy to read ledger. He was also kind enough to NOT charge me for all the time he spent on my case.
It's a pleasure to give Richard my highest, most confident recommendation!

Elyse L.

-Cotati, CA

Richard is all the good things other clients have said about him. For example.... He was considerably more efficient than the last attorney I spoke with; he was able to "cut through the clutter" to offer sage counsel and help us achieve a favorable result. He was also able to focus on details while also holding the big picture in mind. (This is a rare and valuable skill.) And he was patient and persevering when it came to returning calls. (He even did things like figure out what my schedule was so that he would be able to catch me at home.) I'm sure I am not doing him justice (which I know, is a kind of a pun), but he's clearly one of the good ones.

Richard is truly an amazing person and a fabulous attorney. I can not put in words how much I would recommend him to anyone needing an attorney to deal with making sure your trusts etc. are in order. Many thanks Richard!
