Richard’s practice focuses on empowering his clients’ ability to make those decisions that provide for the best planning for themselves, their families, and their businesses. Richard’s career expands over 25 years when he first served as general counsel to legendary New York Yankee owner, George M. Steinbrenner, before deciding in 1998 with his wife Linda that southwest Florida was the ideal location to raise a family. Only five years later, Richard and his father, Kevin Lyons would decide to open Lyons & Lyons, P.A. with the mission to provide the same quality service often found in large firms with the personal touch that clients feel when working with a boutique practice.
