“Forget all the lawyer jokes you've ever heard because when it comes to Richard Seward, none apply! Here is a kind, caring 'gentleman,' who puts one at ease in a warm and relaxing atmosphere. His knowledge and meticulous attention to the details of the legal system are next to none!
My family and I will be forever grateful to Mr. Seward for encouraging us to get our "affairs in order" at a time when we were stress free and clear thinking. How could we have foreseen that only SIX days after meeting with him that his work would be put to the test? Sadly, my husband was involved in an accident that left him with a brain injury. 'Traumatic for our entire family' is an understatement. However, having Rick to guide us, and with all the necessary legal documents already in place (medical directives, powers of attorney, etc.), we had an "upper hand" on the situation. A lesson to all of us — not to procrastinate.
Rest assured by placing any legal matters in Rick's capable hands, your life will run more smoothly in a time of need."
