Biography

Richard is the founder of Chisholm Law Group, and he brings a massive amount of experience to the table. With over 40 years in the field, he isn't just a lawyer; he’s also a CPA and a former IRS Revenue Agent. This unique combination means he sees the full picture—legal, financial, and regulatory—when helping families protect their wealth. He spent 14 years teaching law students about estate and gift taxes as an adjunct professor, so he knows the rules inside and out, but he’s best known for his common-sense approach. Richard takes the time to truly listen to what a client wants before designing a strategy. Whether he’s helping a business owner with tax issues or guiding a trustee through their fiduciary duties, he makes complex systems feel manageable. He has spent his entire career navigating the intersection of law and taxes, and he uses that deep knowledge to get efficient, creative results for every family he works with.
