Posted by William & Brenda | November 06, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Trusts

He will do everything he says he will and..............

Myself and my wife had to do a family trust for some reason unexplainably we don't know why he tends to have trouble with his housekeepers the office was very clean when we went in the next time wonderful he will listen and charges a fortune but it is way worth it!!! We had to remove our daughter fro...m the family trust due to her drug addiction. It's worth the price hint hint... They have a wonderful Christmas tree that is in the office every year and their staff is so courteous the lady at the desk that answers the phone is such a sweetheart my wife teases me all the time about it everything from attorneys to staff and to housekeeping is trustworthy... We never have been so happy in all our lives

Hawkins estate.

Richard helped me through the probate situation of a friend who had Died and had Real property, and 2 cars and many personal items . And Finances that had to be divided to 6 different banks so the money would not be uninsured. He guided me through the process and in 1-1/2 years it was over. In prob...ate the courts are slow. He helped with auctioning off the property, removing one car and transferring the other to a Museum in Sacramento. He got the will distributions done and those that were in the will, not including myself, were given their due. I was very satisfied, as was decedents family.

Good man

I had no idea what to ask or expect in planning for my estate. Richard was easy to talk to, listened, and prepared everything far beyond my expectations. I feel more informed now and taken care of.
