I endorse this lawyer. I have lost track of how long I have known Steve, but likely for over 10 years. I first met Steve when he was a presenter at a national estate planning conference on practice development. I was amazed then at his knowledge and insight and despite having heard him speak many times since I am continually impressed. Steve created a law practice that was able to deliver wonderful and caring legal services to his clients and provide a fabulous atmosphere for his employees to work and thrive. Steve is a great teacher of other attorneys and is able to cut through issues that may be holding us back in developing the type of law firm we desire. He helps his coaching clients create the type of practice they want and encourages us along the way to never stop improving. I highly recommend Steve to any clients, but also to any lawyer wanting to improve their business and their life

Steve is an amazing lawyer and teacher of lawyers. He has a wonderful ability to make you feel he is talking only to you in a room full of people. The insight, forward thinking and his ability to help lawyers prioritize what is important to life has made the difference in my life and the lives of hundreds of other lawyers. You can only get this type of teaching from someone who has been there and done that and done it well. One cannot put a value on his advice. I endorse Steve Riley 110%.

Steve Riley is one of the thought leaders in the United States in field of estate planning and elder law. As a practicing attorney, he represents his clients in a caring manner, developing a long term relationships with them. He is more than a practicing attorney, however. He is called upon to teach practice skills to estate planning and elder law attorneys (and others!) all over the country. Steve is always on the cutting edge of practice techniques. He has consistently been the voice of caring, relationship-based law practices. He has a unique gift for teaching whether his students are other attorneys or his clients. When Steve finishes explaining a concept - simple or complex - we understand what he means and how it is best implemented. His are the skills of a seasoned and skilled lawyer. Any client will be well served in his hands.

Steve has long been a leading voice in the Estate Planning community, whether it be local, statewide or on the national stage. He puts the client first and focuses on the relationship first. This leads to the solution that the client wants, rather than the "cookie-cutter", "one size fits all" approach of so many in this area of practice. Steve has now became a nationwide authority in the area of Elder Law. Very few lawyers practice in this area and even fewer do it effectively. I am proud to call Steve my partner and friend.

I have known Steve for about 10 years -- as an accomplished Business and Estate Planner, Professional and Life Coach, friend, and family man. His life is dedicated to being of service. His empathy and understanding of people is profound, his reserves of patience huge, and his wisdom unique and deep. He is a life-changer. When you work with Steve, you are dealing with the best.

Steve Riley is an accomplished attorney, respected among his peers. One of Steve's unique characteristics is that, unlike other lawyers, he is quite personable and easy to talk to. He will not talk down to you, but rather, he will ask you how he can help you. Steve is especially capable in helping families preserve their assets rather than see them all spent down to pay the costs associated with long term care. I give Steve my highest recommendation.
