Richard Kelsheimer pursues a singular goal in working with others – to help them move from success to significance. With a career that spans over 30 yrs. in the financial services industry, Richard has helped countless families and business owners create a lasting legacy with his trusted counsel, insightful planning, and expert implementation. He has distinguished himself in many roles: as agent, investment advisor, trustee, coach and mentor.

Richard is known for building and maintaining authentic relationships that are mutually beneficial and uniquely enable him to understand a client’s character, temperament, and what is most important to them personally and in their business. This enables him to help clients chart a course to accomplish their most critical goals.

Born and raised in the Texas Hill Country, Richard attended Texas Tech University where he majored in business, with an emphasis on personal management and finance. He spent much of his career with Prudential Financial Services as an agent and manager shepherding others. A five-time qualifying member of the Million Dollar Roundtable, Richard brings a wealth of business resources, financial knowledge and common sense to your business.  If you bring the vision we can make it happen together.

In 2014, Gray convinced Richard to make the Metroplex home.  He brings a wealth of insurance and financial knowledge to Strickland Financial clients and is a huge resource in the areas of business, insurance and estate planning.

As a coach he prides himself in helping others build value personally and in their business. He and his wife Traci live in Arlington, Texas. Richard loves the outdoors and enjoys working in his yard, swimming, golf, hiking, fishing and competitive long-distance shooting when he is not helping his clients.

Michael Kelsheimer focuses his practice on the employment law needs of Texas businesses and executives across several industries, including healthcare, oil and gas, construction and real estate. With more than 160 laws that impact the employment relationship, clients count on Michael to find effective solutions for every workplace problem they may encounter, both in and out of the courtroom. He has achieved favorable results in litigation before state and federal courts and in arbitration involving many issues, including non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, trade secret theft, all types of discrimination claims, executive employment agreements and FLSA wage and hour claims.

Michael is always on call to guide employers through day-to-day and emergency decisions regarding the hiring, compensation, investigation, discipline and termination of employees. He also prepares strategic documents, including employment agreements, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, separation agreements and comprehensive personnel policies. Outside the employment setting, Michael helps clients solve a variety of other challenging problems, including complex commercial disputes involving breach of contract, collections, fraud and DTPA claims.

After many years of practice, Michael knows that employers can be overwhelmed by technical jargon and long-winded explanations, and they often receive information or advice that’s flat out wrong. Amazed at how many books and online sources provide unreliable, impractical guidance on key employment issues, Michael created the Texas Employer Handbook, an online resource focused on giving business owners plain-English explanations of complex employment issues and helping them spot concerns before they become real problems.
