About

By way of introduction, my name is Lucas P. Frei and I am a tax and estate planning attorney licensed in Arizona and Colorado. I was born and raised in Gilbert and am a lover of all things Arizona.I graduated from the Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law in 2014. I then had the opportunity to attend the University of Denver and received an advanced degree in the laws of taxation (LL.M.). This intensive program required that I take one extra year of law classes, all in taxation. During this time, I was fortunate enough to work at several small law firms in the Denver area. Upon graduating from the University of Denver, I immediately began work at a large law firm in Colorado, eventually being promoted to lead tax attorney in charge of tax planning, estate planning, and tax litigation.After many years serving the Denver area, I moved back to Arizona in 2021 and have now joined the Citadel Law Firm. I chose Citadel as we share the same values and approach to the practice of law. We treat clients with respect and pride ourselves on customer service. We believe in a straightforward, honest, and transparent approach to the practice of law. If I can’t help you or if you would be better served by hiring a different attorney, you will hear it from me first. Your trust is of the utmost importance to me.I utilize my customer service background from my days as a business owner and restaurant manager, coupled with my legal experience stemming from having worked hundreds of cases, to ensure that my clients receive the best possible legal service. It is for these reasons that I was chosen as an Arizona Super Lawyer Rising Star for 2022, a peer given distinction provided to less than 2.5% of attorneys.While the majority of my legal experience is in tax planning, estate planning, and tax litigation, I have also been involved in business, criminal, immigration, personal injury, and family law matters.I welcome you to contact me and to schedule a free consultation to investigate your legal matter. I look forward to meeting you and to serving your legal needs.Sincerely,Lucas P.

I consulted with Lucas on guardianship paperwork for my newborn. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He made the process very easy and didn’t try to sell me stuff I didn’t need. I highly recommend him!

I'm so fortunate to have had Lucas on my side in a tax matter. He was always so kind and helpful and he took the time to explain exactly what everything really means with the IRS. Super smart guy and always professional and courteous!

I was very anxious and worried about a Real Estate/Tax matter that could potentially produce extremely negative and expensive consequences. After consulting with Mr. Frei, I was completely at ease thanks to his friendly style and thoughtful, expert analysis with specific, step-by-step advice on how to resolve my entire matter. He's like finding a really great guide to lead you out of the deep woods and back home. I whole hardheartedly recommend Mr. Frei and will absolutely hire him as my family's legal needs arise. Thank you Mr. Frei!

My attorney is Lucas Frei. I came to meet Lucas 3 years ago after finally giving up on the notion that I could outrun the IRS and my life in shambles. I contacted Lucas and basically piled up 10 years of bad choices on his desk and asked if he could make my tax problem at least something that I could live with and not so overwhelming. As we all know the IRS is relentless in their pursuit of your debt: Lucas took my case with the confidence of a Roman general. He assured me that he could make my situation better. Well after all was said and done and the numerous phone calls he answered from me and emails he responded too he was able to secure my offer and compromise from the IRS. I must say Lucas was amazing and very professional as well and compassionate through this whole process and a man of integrity and values. My OIC that Lucas secured was incredible and it definitely has changed my life. Believe me when I say. You can work through your problems when you have the right person in charge. My person is Lucas Frei. I assure you as a man of faith Lucas is the real deal. I cannot thank the Lucas enough for getting my life back to a manageable state. 5 star service and a first class attitude are what you will receive when you hire Lucas! He truly is the best. Respectfully and beyond Grateful Alan

I found Mr. Frei's name from the Better Business Bureau website and called him for a phone consultation. I am trying to file bankruptcy but I have a life estate for a family property and was worried about tax implications/IRS before going forward. Mr. Frei was extremely helpful and reassured me during this very stressful time. After addressing tax implications, he referred me to an excellent bankruptcy attorney. I will use Lucas if I ever need assistance with tax issues in the future, and I will definitely refer all my friends to him if they require his services

I cosigned for a school loan for my son and the bank sent a 1099 form with only my name on it.. Our accountant told me that there should be one with my son's name and we would need that in order to off set some of our tax liability. When I called the bank, they said they did not have any other 1099 and were unable to help. I contacted Lucas and he assured me that the bank should have a 1099 with my son's name on it. He called the bank and within a week or so, I received the correct 1099 form. Having the correct form to submit saved us several hundred dollars in owed taxes. Lucas saved me from the stress of dealing with the bank and arguing with them regarding the form. He is very professional and I would definitely recommend him.

Lucas assisted me with setting up a plan to pay the IRS. I could not have done it without his help. He knew his way around the IRS and had answers to all of my questions. I had tried to figure out the process myself but only ended up with stress and red tape. I will use Lucas again if I ever need assistance with tax issues in the future.
