I was very impressed and pleased to know I could call Richard Myers and he would get back to me so quickly on a personal matter that I had. He answered all my questions without hesitation. I highly recommend him to others.

I and my family highly recommend Richard Myers. He has guided us through the unending difficulties of accessing assistance for my Mother through the last three years of her life. He helped us apply for veteran’s assistance, set up a family trust, worked directly with the nursing home and any issue that I had questions about whether it was what to do with accounts at the bank or dealing with the pressure of getting all the bills sorted out. Richard and his staff worked to gain Medicaid assistance when mom had to go into a nursing home. This process was beyond difficult and I certainly would not have be able to negotiate the process on my own.
The support and wisdom that Richard provided has provided made our journey much smoother. My only regret is that I did not find him sooner. My husband and I will continue to work with his firm in planning and anticipating our financial needs for the rest of our retirement and beyond.
