About
Kendra Rychlick is a Partner at Kirschner Rychlick PLLC, where she helps individuals, families, and business owners create thoughtful plans for the future. Her practice focuses on estate planning, as well as trust and estate administration.
Kendra believes estate planning is about much more than signing documents. It is about protecting the people you care about, preserving family harmony, and ensuring your wishes are carried out when they matter most. She works closely with clients to understand their goals and values, then develops practical solutions tailored to their unique circumstances.
One of Kendra's favorite parts of her practice is helping clients navigate decisions they may have been putting off for years. Whether working with young families planning for the unexpected, retirees looking to preserve a legacy, or business owners thinking about succession planning, she strives to make complex legal and tax concepts understandable and approachable. Clients appreciate Kendra's practical advice, straightforward communication, and ability to make complex planning concepts easy to understand.
Before joining the firm, Kendra represented employers and handled a variety of civil litigation matters, including workers' compensation, property disputes, and homeowner association issues. Her litigation background gives her a unique perspective on the disputes that can arise when planning is incomplete and helps her create plans that are designed to minimize future conflict.
Kendra earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Washington School of Law in 2015. During law school, she received the William Sampson Fellowship, which allowed her to work with legal aid organizations in Dublin, Ireland, focused on law reform and expanding access to legal services.
Kendra is active in the legal and business communities and is a member of the Washington State Bar Association's Real Property, Probate and Trust Section, King County Bar Association, Washington Women Lawyers, East King County Estate Planning Council, Bellevue Breakfast Rotary, Seattle Executives Association, and ProVisors.
Outside of work, Kendra enjoys spending time with her family and pets (a golden retriever and an opinionated Maine Coon cat), reading, listening to podcasts, and traveling.
