EASTMAN ESTATE PLANNING - Key Persons


Darren L. Richardson

Darren is often asked why he chose estate planning and administration to be the focus of his legal practice. For him, the real question is - why not? Most people spend a lot of time and energy to build their nest egg. Sadly, too many people pass away without their hard-earned assets passing to their loved ones as intended. Knowing from firsthand experience the frustration, confusion, expense, and family divide that improper planning can cause, Darren chose to focus his practice on estate planning and administration to help bring peace of mind to hardworking individuals and families. Darren has practiced estate planning and administration exclusively over his legal career and served as the director of estate administration for many years at another valley firm before joining Eastman Estate Planning, PLLC. Darren graduated Cum Laude from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas, where he earned his bachelor's degree. He received his Juris Doctor degree from Phoenix School of Law, where he served as a law clerk for the Arizona Governor's Office of General Counsel. Darren is a member Wealth Counsel, the Maricopa County Bar Association's Estate Planning, Probate & Trust section, and the J. Reuben Clark Law Society Greater Phoenix Chapter.
