Mark & Viviana, Springfield
We were referred to Richard by our financial advisor. We knew we needed an estate plan but didn’t know where to start. Richard worked with us to figure out the best plan to make sure our kids will be taken care of and our assets will be managed the way we want. We recommend Richard if you are confused about the best way to plan for your estate.
Justin, Monett
I was referred to Richard by my CPA. I had been in business for a while but didn’t know whether I needed an LLC. Richard explained how an LLC works and how to protect my business and personal assets. Richard was easy to work with and made sure my business was set-up right.
Lynn & David, Springfield
We were referred to Richard by our insurance agent. Richard explained our options and worked with us to make sure the inheritance for our kids and grandkids was protected. We are relieved to know that there is a plan to take care of us and our family.
