I have known Richard for many years in association with several national estate planning organizations. He not only attends many attorney seminars, he is often in the front of the class teaching other attorneys, CPAs and financial advisors. His knowledge about estate planning, charitable planning, business planning and asset protection is remarkable and he has the ability to communicate his knowledge in down to earth terms. He is very respected locally and also on a national level. Not only does Richard have highly toned technical skills, he is a warm, compassionate person who truly cares about his clients and doing an excellent job for each and every one of them. I strongly endorse Richard and if I were looking for an estate planner in Alaska, I would be going to the law firm of Foley and Foley.
