About Richard Samuel
Richard Samuel Price built a foundation in business and law before turning to tax and estate work. He holds a B.A. in Business Administration from California State University, San Bernardino (1990), earned a J.D. from Western New England University School of Law (1996), and completed an LL.M. in Taxation at New York University School of Law (1999). Those degrees shaped the areas he would practice for the next two decades.
He began his professional life in the early 2000s in both private practice and consulting. In 2000 he joined KPMG LLP as an international tax consultant, a role that exposed him to cross-border tax questions and structuring for individuals and entities. That same year he started operating under his own name, founding The Law Office of Richard Samuel Price and handling matters that bridged tax, estate planning and probate.
Over time his practice shifted further toward estate and trust work. In 2017 he established Price Law Office, APC, where he continued to represent clients on matters that combine tax implications with estate administration. He participates in multiple local bar associations, including the San Bernardino, Riverside and Los Angeles County Bar Associations, and the Western San Bernardino County Bar Association. Those memberships reflect steady engagement with the legal community across several Southern California counties.
He is a Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Law, a credential granted by the State Bar of California’s Board of Legal Specialization. That certification signals additional study and testing in probate and trust law and a record of work in related matters. It also aligns with his prior LL.M. training in taxation, a combination often useful where estate plans must account for complex tax issues.
Colleagues and clients describe him as practical and methodical. He takes technical tax concepts and translates them into estate plans, trust instruments and probate filings that a client can understand. He has experience advising executors and trustees, preparing estate and gift tax calculations, and structuring instruments to reflect clients’ distribution goals while accounting for tax consequences.
In the office he balances document drafting and litigation avoidance. He advises on trust administrations, probate proceedings and related fiduciary duties, and he prepares the underlying agreements and filings. As of 2026 he practices through Price Law Office APC, handling estate planning, trust and probate matters alongside tax-related issues affecting estates and trusts.
