Rich Gaines

From his second year at Southwestern University School of Law, Rich knew that working with the tax law to benefit people in protecting and perserving their wealth for generations was his passion.  Positively building up a person’s future while maximizing tax savings and protecting that wealth has been his mission ever since.  To further his career Rich pursued and received a Master of Laws in Taxation from Denver University School of Law.  Rich worked for a national CPA firm and then spent several years with prestigious law firms before establishing a private practice in Carlsbad California.

Rich brings a unique learning environment to legacy planning allowing people to experience and explore new possibilities for themselves and their families. Rich holds workshops in a fun and provocative way where people are actively participating in building a secure future for themselves and their family.  In a way, these techniques are breaking down the walls in how families are talking about money, bringing them together, fostering opportunity to create a common family vision and making their wealth last for generations.
