Welcome to the official website of Richard Bryan Attorney, PLLC. My office is conveniently located at 370 7th Avenue, which is one block South of Penn Station and Madison Square Garden on 7th Avenue (8th Floor).

My practice is limited to New York City, and my firm focuses on Estate Planning and Elder Law, as well as various matters which go along with those two areas of law. Estate Planning, for the most part, includes drafting Wills, various types of Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Health Care Proxies, Living Wills, Burial Proxies, and many other documents that help someone protect their wealth, values and dignity, and pass their assets to their children and other heirs in an efficient and tax-effective manner at death. Probate and Administration of decedent's estates is a specialized area within the field of Estate Planning, and if someone in your family has died, I can provide efficient representation in all New York counties.
