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.
Richard & Judy, Springfield
Richard was referred to us by a family member who was updating his estate plan. Richard made sure our family’s separate estate plans were coordinated to best take care of the different needs of our beneficiaries. We recommend Richard if planning for your extended family is important.
Tom & Anna, Kimberling City
We were referred to Richard by our life insurance agent. Because we are a second marriage and own a business with our kids, we weren’t sure of the best way to plan for our kids and property. Richard explained our options and helped us come up with a plan that makes sure we, the kids and the business are taken care of.
