Richard J. Guggenhime

My practice is devoted to the challenges associated with complex estate planning, estate and trust administration and federal estate and gift tax practice. I have counseled high-net-worth clients facing a full range of wealth transfer planning, including tax implications.

My deep commitment to my clients fosters relationship that have spanned generations. My clients’ well-being has always been at the forefront of my practice, working with each client and their unique challenges and objectives. With nearly half a century of experience, I have seen it all.

I am also actively involved in the San Francisco community. I began my public service as a member of the Parking Authority from 1975-1978. I was then appointed to the Board of Permit Appeals (1978-1985), the Fire Commission (1985 to 1989) and the Recreation and Parks Commission (1989-1993 and 2004-2005). I was appointed to the Airport Commission by Mayor Gavin Newsom in August 2006 and reappointed in August 2009 and again in 2013. I am also Past Director of the Commercial Bank of San Francisco, Global Savings Bank and North American Trust Company.
