Richard Brouillet

Richard is currently helping me deal with difficult ex-​in-​law as I handle their son’s Trust fund. He has offered several solutions to a problem that will continue for a long time. Allowing me to make informed decisions has lifted a heavy burden & Richard will be there for me as we move forward. Responds quickly, honest & straight forward, he has provided mental relief, education, options and a path to resolution. I like him & definitely recommend him. My worries are gone. Thanks Richard!

Richard helped us create our will and trust documents when the noun « Unilocal» only meant a sharp, short cry, so my review is late, but it’s given me time to judge his follow-​up service too. Our time with Richard was well spent. He asked the right questions, gave us clear answers, and provided information so we could complete the process painlessly and accurately. I’ve called and emailed Richard with a question or two every few years, and he always gave me a useful, honest answer gratis. I referred my brother– and sister-​in-​law to him after they had a bad experience with a trust attorney, and they were as happy with Richard’s service as my wife and I were. He’s a great attorney and a great guy. I wish there were a Richard Brouillet in every profession.

— Richard came highly recommended by a friend of mine who is a high level attorney at the DOJ.
— He was very personable, empathetic, and efficient.
— From our very first conversation I had the fullest confidence that he would VIGOROUSLY defend my mom’s Trust and Estate.
— His hourly rate was very much inline with what other local attorneys with similar years of experience charge.
— A small retainer, equivalent to 5 hours, was all that was required for a case that could have ultimately resulted in litigation. (Thankfully due to his skillful approach things never escalated to that level)
— At the conclusion of his work, Richard provided a very detailed and easy to read ledger. He was also kind enough to NOT charge me for all the time he spent on my case.
It’s a pleasure to give Richard my highest, most confident recommendation!

Richard recently created a living trust, wills, durable power of attorney for health and personal affairs for my husband and myself, and he also helped us transfer our real property into the name of our trust. We found Richard through my legal insurance at work. We could not be more pleased with Richard’s services! He met with us several times to make sure we understood and were comfortable with the process, and he clearly explained everything to us. He helped make the legalese easier to understand. He’s kind and easy to work with, and he’s a straight shooter, which we truly appreciate.
On top of his fabulous services as an attorney, he provided us with delicious pizza and adult beverages on two of the times that we met with him — talk about perks! He was flexible with his schedule, and we were able to meet him at his home office after hours to avoid taking too much time away from work during typical «business hours.» If you need an attorney for estate planning, give Richard a call — you won’t be disappointed!

Richard is the best. He helped my wife and I set-​up our Trust for our kids and from start-​to-​finish was great to work with. We initially met at our home in Walnut Creek and then the second time, he met us in downtown San Francisco (where we both work) to make things easier for us.
The legal work was tight and he is just a really great guy.
Highest recommendation!

Updating my review of Richard Brouillet, our attorney, just to reiterate what a fabulous lawyer he is. We are so lucky to have found him. He did all of our Will and Living Trust work, and even made some adjustments for us without charge. He is a real stand-​up guy — not your typical blood-​sucking lawyer. He is simply the BEST. Highly, highly recommend.

I was referred to Richard by my banker. He is an excellent generalist attorney, practical and down to earth. He did everything I needed, gave me excellent advice, and then put it all together for me.
He put together a very good will and trust for me and my family.
He’s easy to work with, easily available and a hard worker. I heartily recommend him to everyone.

Richard helped my husband and me with our trust, our will and our powers of attorney. He came recommended to us, and in turn, I highly recommend him myself. His unique professional experience gives him a very special perspective on trusts — — we loved the advice Richard gave us. Very easy-​going, patient and kind.
