Mr. Danzo was extremely helpful in helping me set up a youth sports non-profit organization. He made the complex process of dealing with the IRS painless. Mr. Danzo and his staff were efficient with something I was told could take a long time.
I met Frank through a professional acquaintance. I was looking for an attorney that I could trust to present to the members of an organization. I needed someone knowledgeable that could also speak to every-day people, and I needed someone that understood that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for estate planning. Frank has fit that perfectly. I’ve been able to trust him repeatedly to present good information to the classes, and I always hear rave reviews from the participants. Because of all of this, I’ve personally created my estate plan with Frank. He made sure to make the correct plan for my husband and I (We’re younger, poorer :) and have no kids, so it is simpler). Everything was done on time and professionally. I do recommend him to family and friends.
Mr. Danzo has advised me regarding elder law, estate law and real estate issues. I have found him to be trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable. Mr. Danzo always returns my calls and has kept me well informed. I would recomend him without reservation. The specific legal matters that he helped me with, were with regard to planning before and what to do after death and also guiding me through a short sale. His referals to other professionals have been great. The location of his office is very central. I felt respected by his staff and comfortable spending time at his office. His fees were fair for the work he provided. Best of all I liked him as a person. He is a good guy!
