Courteous and thorough

Attorney Richardson put together a complete estate planning package: last will and testament, durable power of attorney, and healthcare proxy for both myself and my wife. Throughout the process he displayed an in-depth knowledge of the process, and kept us informed as to what we needed to complete th...e paperwork. He was very responsive in my questions, and made himself available to ensure that my constant revisions were taken care of. I would heartily recommend Attorney Richardson for anyone seeking legal estate planning services.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
