About Richard J.
Richard J. Herndon has spent many years in the legal career after finishing his formal education in Missouri. He moved from an undergraduate degree within the 1970s into law school within the early Nineteen Eighties, then built a steady professional legal career that has continued into the 2020s.
He earned a Bachelor of Science from Truman State University in 1974. Nearly a decade later he acquired his J.D. from the University of Missouri–Kansas City in 1983. The two degrees bookend a period of coaching and early professional improvement that organized him for lengthy-time period work in private practice and expert institutions.
Herndon’s call appears at the membership rolls of Wealth Counsel starting in 2006 and continuing to the present. Wealth Counsel is an organization that gives assets and networking for lawyers who work on property making plans and related things. His long-standing association with that group signals ongoing engagement with that segment of the bar and with the continuing education and record equipment the company makes available.
Public history and expert listings display a continuous, practice-orientated profession instead of a path through educational posts or excessive-profile public office. He has remained related to the network of lawyers who manage trusts, wills, and succession matters. Colleagues and professional peers have often defined attorneys with similar memberships as practitioners who handle estate planning, trust administrations and probate work for individuals and families, relying on based record drafting and client counseling methods.
Across extra than 4 decades since his undergraduate degree, Herndon has balanced practical law practice with participation in professional networks. That combination has kept him recent on evolving statutory and tax issues that have an effect on estate plans. He has used the resources available thru national groups to refine how he approaches client matters and to stay informed about modifications within the area. As of 2026 he continues to practice regulation and directs his work towards property making plans, trust administration and probate matters.
