About Denis P
Denis P Rischard built his legal foundation in the Midwest. He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Notre Dame in 1983 after beginning studies in 1979. He then moved on to the University of Oklahoma College of Law, completing his J.D. in 1986.
After law school he entered practice in Oklahoma. He joined the State Bar of Oklahoma in 1986 and has remained an active member since then. Early work involved general civil matters common to young practitioners in the state, giving him broad courtroom and client-facing experience. Over time he narrowed his practice to matters that affect older adults and their families.
Rischard shifted his focus toward elder law and estate-related issues as his career developed. He handled matters such as long-term care planning, guardianships, powers of attorney, and probate administration. He gained experience advising clients on Medicaid eligibility rules and the paperwork that often accompanies public benefits for seniors. He also worked with families on incapacity planning, seeking to reduce future uncertainty through clear legal documents.
Much of his work has taken place in state courts and in counseling sessions rather than in high-profile litigation. He built a practice that emphasizes steady case management and practical problem-solving. Colleagues describe his approach as straightforward and procedural; he tends to emphasize clear instructions and careful documentation when dealing with courts, care providers, and benefit administrators.
Today he operates Rischard Elder Law. The firm handles elder law matters and related estate administration in Oklahoma. He continues to represent clients on issues common to aging households, including planning for medical expenses and managing transitions that come with declining capacity. He maintains his State Bar of Oklahoma membership and practices under the same state jurisdiction in which he was admitted in 1986.
Clients who consult him can expect direct attention to estate paperwork and benefit eligibility, coupled with the routine court filings elder law often requires. He keeps a steady practice in Oklahoma focusing on elder law and estate administration.
