"Richard did a great job in developing Wills, Living Wills, and Power of Attorney for my wife and me. He used a clear method in determining the necessary information he needed us to provide. He brought up alternatives when something we might have thought would create issues or challenges for our executor or heirs. I would recommend Richard to anyone looking for this type of legal work."

"Mr. Dawahare was contracted by my brother for a family matter, that is how I became associated with him. He was very good working with my brother who has a disability. He was kind and patient with my brother which gained a lot of respect from me. He always promptly answered or returned phone calls, was helpful and always answered questions. I was very pleased the way my brother was represented. He (Mr. Dawahare) is a nice and respectful person, and the matter he was involved with had a very good outcome."
