Samuel Evans
After my mother's passing, our family was faced with the daunting task of administering a complex trust with significant charitable components. We engaged Richard Wehrle based on his long-standing reputation in Lexington. His 42 years of experience were immediately evident. He patiently explained every step of the administration process, from interpreting the trust language to navigating tax implications. His deep knowledge of both estate planning and charitable giving was invaluable, ensuring my mother's philanthropic wishes were honored precisely. The recognition he received, such as the 2012 Lawyer of the Year award, is clearly well-deserved. Mr. Wehrle combined profound expertise with genuine compassion, turning a stressful situation into a smooth, respectful process. I cannot recommend him highly enough for trusts and estates matters.
