Navigating the complexities of estate planning can be daunting; however, my experience with attorney Rich Gains and his assistant, Marcel Pollock, at Legacy Legal transformed this intricate process into a seamless and comprehensible journey. As soon as I stepped into their office, I was met with a sense of warmth and professionalism that immediately put me at ease.

Rich possesses a depth of knowledge in estate planning, paired with an ability to explain complicated legal concepts. The thoroughness and attention to detail with which Legacy Legal handled my estate plan assured me that my affairs were in capable hands. The support staff at Legacy Legal deserves special recognition. Marcel was consistently helpful, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure my needs were promptly met.

The Legacy Legal team excels in both legal expertise and their commitment to providing outstanding client service. I wholeheartedly recommend Legacy Legal for anyone seeking comprehensive and compassionate estate planning services.

I have known Rich at Legacy Legal for 20 years now. Even when I was helping my grandmother through that tough time in 2000 right after my grandfather passed away, Rich was there to guide her, warmly and intelligently. He put together a plan for our family and worked with us consistently over the years as our situation changed and as the law changed. He ensured we had a good, current, and legally sound plan. My grandmother passed away in 2019 and all we had done paid off. He has created plans for my mother, my aunt, my cousin, my children and me too, of course. He knows families and yet is always discreet. I highly recommend him if you are looking for an estate plan.
