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.

Pleased with Service

We would highly recommend the law firm of Habiger and Associates Elder Law. Richard Habiger is very knowledgeable of the legal requirement and regulations affecting the establishment of a supplemental needs trust. The trust is very detail. His legal assistant, Jennifer Boyd was knowledgeable an...d helpful in working up mother’s application for medical assistance. She guided and assisted us in obtaining the necessary paper work to submit with the application. She was always very cheerful, helpful and eager to assist us anytime we meet with her or telephoned with questions or information. We recently received notification that mother’s medical assistance application has been approved by the Illinois Department of Human Services.

The Law Firm was a Life Saver at its BEST!

My husband and I came into to discuss Trust and Estate Planning. It was infomrative and the staff was wonderful. Taking us by the hand and answering any and all questions. The Trust was finished and we were so thankful. Suddenly after 2 months of having our Wills and Trusts in place, my husband ...suddenly died of a heart attack. This man was a picture of great health. We did not see this tragedy hitting us so quickly. I can not imagine where I would be if this firm had not explained everything in detailed and helped my family in creating our family's trust and estate planning. It has been very painful and we are all working through this, but it could have been much worse. So please, do you and your family a favaor and bless them with the best gift ever and go to see Habiger & Associates, they will help you every step of the way. Get your Planning done sooner than later, You NEVER KNOW what can happen. Dont put it off, it is necessary, do not pass this earth without will's, trusts, deeds in place!! Do it for your Family. Kay

One of the Best

Richard helped me deal with a very difficult estate planning situation for my elderly parents. He's seen it all, and his experience definitely showed while helping my family through a difficult time.

I was impressed!

I went to Mr Habiger regarding my parents that were in a situation with nursing home care. I didnt even know what Elder Law was. He was very intelligent and knew just by my description of their situation, what needed to be done. I couldnt be happier with the results I got from Mr Habiger and his staf...f. I will continue always refer him to anyone that may need the similiar help that my parents and I were needing. Thank You
