Estate Planning

My husband and I needed to update our wills. We also needed Advanced Directive and Power of Attorney documents. Prior to our consultation, Ms. Richard supplied us with questionnaires which guided us as we gathered pertinent information. During the consultation she took the time to address each item e...xplaining all legal terms and contingencies so we could determine which options best met our needs and preferences. She listened and carried out our requests. When we met to sign the final documents and have them notarized, she again took the time to go over all the wording and ensure that what she had crafted was in line with our intentions. During and after the process her firm provided a portal where we could access documents. I highly recommend Ms. Richard and her firm.

Helped resolve my problem.

Darley Richard listened to my situation and agreed to handle the legal matter for a reasonable price. She completed the legal work quickly. I have already recommended her to others.

Guardianship and POA

Ms Richard was very responsive and knowledgeable in the area of mental health guardianship vs POA. She respectfully worked with our young adult child to suggest a solution that would meet all of our needs. Ms Richard was easy to work with and was very familiar with our local mental health network.

Avvo Rating

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.
