Lyndsey Richard

Founding Partner

Lyndsey focuses her legal practice on estate planning matters, working in close partnership with individuals and families. She helps clients determine their estate planning goals and develop wills, trusts and other essential legal documents, and to navigate their roles and legal responsibilities during the probate process or through trust administration. For some, planning for the future and caring for loved ones also means maneuvering around real estate or small business challenges, family conflicts or other complexities. Having practiced law for nearly 15 years, Lyndsey uses her experience litigating a broad range of personal, business and real estate disputes, including probate and contract matters, in her counsel as an estate planning attorney.

In addition to working directly with our clients, Lyndsey manages our team and legal practice, which she founded in 2011 after working at a prominent downtown Denver law firm for several years.

My Approach

Estate issues, trusts, creating a will...whether your circumstances are simple and straightforward or riddled with complexity, these matters are always personal and extraordinarily meaningful. I know how crucial it is to connect with and understand the unique needs of each individual and each family. My role--and my responsibility-- is to provide my clients with thoughtful, comprehensive, efficient and accurate assistance. My strength is in helping them understand their options and in mapping out a common-sense path that meets their goals.

In addition to being an attorney, I'm also a mother and a wife, a daughter, a sister--I know, personally, how difficult it can be to balance our many responsibilities and plan for uncomfortable contingencies. I also understand how crucial, and comforting, it is to have a tailored set of estate planning documents on which your family can rely. I work hard to be the trusted advisor you call on to help navigate life's unexpected challenges, and to help achieve new goals, along the way.

My Community

I’m a sixth-generation Coloradan, born and raised in Denver, and live in Washington Park with my husband and children. My family and friends are deeply important to me and I spend as much time with them as possible, whether we’re riding bikes through Denver’s beautiful parks, playing tennis, skiing, cooking, or trying some of the city’s great new restaurants, or traveling abroad.

My community is also tremendously important to me. I have had the honor of serving as a board member, advisor, and volunteer with several organizations that are focused on building a strong community and supporting future generations to come.

I've served on the boards of the following organizations:

• Anti-Defamation League (Mountain States Region)

• Colorado Agency for Jewish Education

• Denver Center for the Performing Arts Fourth Wall

• Jewish Women's Fund of Colorado

• MazelTot
