Biographical Information: Rick
L. Law,
Estate Planning, Disability and Medical Assistance
Lawyer
 “The generous and the bold, lead the most fulfilling lives.”
— Chinese proverb
"World
class" is defined by Webster's Dictionary as "being of the highest caliber in
the world." In my role as lead attorney of the Law ElderLaw organization, it is
my job to surround myself with people who are committed to serving our clients
in a world class manner. We must be people who are trustworthy and
client-oriented. Our team must see itself as an organization where not only our
clients, but also our co-workers, are treated with respect and courtesy and a
heartfelt commitment to put the interests of others above our own. We can only
provide world class service when we ourselves live out the Golden Rule in such a
way that we imagine what we would want and then grab the initiative and do that
for others.
I invite my clients to hold me personally accountable for the actions,
performance, and results of anyone on our team. My commitment to building a
world class organization is a commitment that is never-ending.
