Wonderful to work with

Richard and his staff are polite and efficient to work with. They provided clear answers and services when organizing my trust. I would definitely recommend the firm to others who need help with elderly relatives or trust creation.

Richard Habiger

He prepared numerous documents for us and other than a few tiny errors regarding birth dates were what we needed to have all of our affairs in order and protect our assets. Using understandable examples, he patiently explained legal workings of documents and terms, sometimes more than once. His assis...tant Jennifer did an outstanding job of keeping the many copies of many documents straight and was very knowledgeable as well. We are very satisfied with what has been accomplished and have been told we or our children can continue to contact them with pertinent questions or clarifications.

Professional and caring

When I was dealing with cancer, and the only caregiver for an elderly mother with dementia, Mr Habiger helped me make certain my mother would be taken care of if I pre-deceased her. He did so with real concern and compassion for my situation, always there to listen to my worries and offer the profess...ional advice I so badly needed. He did all this while dealing with his own personal challenges. Knowing that my mother's affairs were in order in case I could not care for her, let me apply my energy to fighting my cancer. A year later I am doing well and forever grateful, thank you. Mr Habiger's own personal experiences give him tremendous insight and competence to handle all areas of elder law.
