Fantastic advocate and upholder of all that is right kind of Super Hero
Ms Richards has to be one of the best professionals I have ever worked with. She is caring, ethical, very thorough, and focused while always wearing a smile.
Dawn always new it was her job to protect me from me. She did just, with successful or acceptable outcomes every time.
You won’t be sorry if you use her for all your legal needs.
I met Dawn Richards in the year 2016 when I needed help to sort out issues related to my late mother's estate. It was a pleasure to work with Dawn and I highly recommend her as she is very knowledgeable and professional.
A native of Pennsylvania, with ties to Georgia and Florida, I am a former combat medic and hospital CFO who attended law school in 2004 at Temple University in Philadelphia. As an attorney I have practiced various types of law throughout the years and now focus on estate planning, trusts and wills, probate, business law, contracts and health law for mid-sized medical practices and ancillary facilities.
As an associate at Capozzi Adler, P.C. in Harrisburg I represented nursing homes with employee and compliance issues. This provided me with a basis of understanding of elder law and the needs of our elder population. Throughout my career in healthcare I was responsible for financial management and the administrative processes associated with admissions, billing, and case management. As a financial officer my goal was to improve the internal processes of the hospitals I was employed by to minimize wait times, resolve problems, simplify the admissions process and assist with billing and insurance disputes. This experience provided me with an understanding of the difficulties experienced by patients when faced with challenging life decisions and has helped me to develop compassion toward my clients in my practice now.
I am licensed in Pennsylvania, Florida and Georgia and spend time in all three states. I enjoy traveling which affords me the opportunity to hike in the mountains or walk on the beach. I have support staff in both Florida and Georgia who coordinate services, respond to inquiries, assist in document drafting, and file court forms. Many of our services are offered virtually, saving you time and money.

Mrs
Dawn was very thorough and extremely knowledgeable. She was always eager to answer any questions we had about making out our wills, and guided us in the decision making process.

Expert Advice
Dawn is very thorough and detailed in preparing wills and explaining documents. She prepared a questionnaire for me to complete before we met to discuss estate planning. Once my documents were completed she highlighted and flagged most important information and where I was required to sign. I was extremely please with her knowledge and expertise and in breaking down information to simplify legal terms. I highly recommend her.
