I can’t say enough great things about Richard. I highly recommend him!

Richard Lee efficiently and throughly resolved my family trust issue. it took him very little time and his advice made perfect sense.
having been involved with legal matters up to my ears in the past i have worked with many attorneys. richard is among those at the top of my list in all aspects. i highly recommend him.

Richard Lee … Thank you for doing terrific work. Writing business documents was a breeze with your guidance.
Richard and his team were a pleasure to work with and I recommend him to help you organize and file all of your business documents.

I used Richard Lee to convert my individual trust to a family trust. It was complicated since my wife was not a US citizen. He explained all details to us patiently. I found it easy to ask RIchard many questions, often repeatedly.
He filed all the forms for us, and got everything recorded. It took a while it to be done, but I am so glad its all done, and that we used Richard Lee as our attorney.
His fees are very reasonable (compared to other lawyers I contacted).

Richard Lee is competent, professional, knows his stuff inside and out, an excellent communicator, easy to work with, and charges fair and reasonable rates. I highly recommend you hire him, you will not be disappointed.

It is hard to make Woohoo! apply to estate and trust work, but Richard is definitely as good as it gets.
Richard is an Attorney filled with integrity. He has worked with artists and filmmakers for decades and was one of the founders of the Film Arts Foundation. It is always important to me that the people I work with and to whom I make introductions are good people. And Richard is just such a person.
He did my family trust and I have referred many clients and friends to him for similar work. The reports all come back the same — good work, fair price, nice guy, easy to work with.
I have been a financial planner for 16 years and after the birth of my first child, I knew that I needed to have a will and trust written up to protect my family from the trials and tribulations that would certainly be visited on them if we left everything up to the State of CA probate system. Richard helped in the conversation about who the best choice for power of attorney might be and who the best choice of guardian for our kids might be. His advice and support in this process were worth well more than the price we paid for the service.
I guess the best thing I can say is that I have been an investment professional and financial planner for 16 years and I have been introduced to and worked with dozens of estate planning attorneys and I asked Richard to write my family’s trust.

I have worked with Richard for over 20 years. He helped me set up contracts for my video production business, provided some advice when I was faced with a frivolous small claims suit, and helped with various business issues I have had over the years.
He helped establish the Film Arts Foundation and over the years provided legal assistance, some of it pro bono, for filmmakers and community organizations.
More recently he set up a family trust for my bride and me. He took as much time as we needed to walk us through the processes, and he made sure we understood the legal jargon he was using. On short notice, when we had some trouble with a home loan, he provided us with legal documents that helped us get the loan.
Richard is a gem. He really cares about doing good in the world by helping individuals. He is reasonable with his billable time. I highly recommend him.
