A Letter to the Clients
Hi, I'm Paul Riffel, and it has been my honor to represent thousands of clients in the Tampa Bay area over the last 43 years.
Forty-three years is a long time, so it's time for me to move on and do some other things. As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and therefore I am retiring and moving on to other things.
But I can't leave my clients hanging. They still may need updates on their estate planning or other legal help, and so I have associated myself with the law firm of Drummond Wehle & Yonge.
Specifically, Tyler Yonge is the attorney who will be handling my clients. He does estate planning, which includes, of course, wills, trusts, life estate deeds, advance directives, probate, summary administrations, formal administrations, and guardianship.
They don't do family law or bankruptcy, but if you need assistance in those areas, you can call my number, and they will refer you to someone I have hand-picked to help you.
Now, Tyler is a much younger fellow, and I have known him for some time. He's a good guy, and I really feel he will be a good replacement for me. He is highly qualified in this area, and he has a great personality to help all my clients with their legal needs.
He also has access to my estate planning files, if you give him permission. By contacting him, he can access copies of your wills, trusts, advance directives, life estate deeds, and things of that nature.
So he has that advantage for you, and he's also in the north end of town, which is good because I've always been on the north end of town, and I represent many people in north Hillsborough County and into Pasco County. So he has a good location there on Fowler Avenue.
If you are in need of legal services, contact my number at 813-265-1185. You'll be connected with Drummond Wehle & Yonge, and you can let them know you're a former client of mine and that you're looking for continued legal assistance. They can jump on that immediately and help you out with any of your legal needs.
Many people ask me, "Well, what am I going to do?" I have a lot of things that I want to do. I'm not going to be sitting around watching TV.
We just got back from a trip to California and saw the Redwoods and Yosemite Valley for the third time. Awesome.
I have children who live on opposite ends of the country, so there will be a lot of traveling to see them in the years to come.
So, I wish you all the best, and I hope that Tyler can be of service to you and your family and help you with your estate planning needs, probate needs, or guardianship needs.
It's been my honor, and I wish you all well.
Thank you.
