Excellent estate and tax attorney

Peter has ably assisted my family over the past 10 years, providing a rare combination of professional expertise and wisdom in navigating family relationships. He has handled both of my parents' estates, as well as that of my brother. I served as power of attorney and co-executor for all three, so I ...have worked closely with Peter throughout this work. Prior to their passing, he helped our family with comprehensive estate planning by suggesting and implementing a careful program of trusts and real estate transfers. My brother had Down Syndrome, and Peter understood and assisted us with all the complications of special needs law. Only recently did I discover that Peter has an LLM, additional training beyond his JD, in taxation law, and he lectures at Boston University in probate and family law. Beyond the technical aspects, Peter has been a friend and trusted advisor to our family. His caring approach is evident in all of his work. I recommend Peter Frasca without hesitation for any estate and taxation law needs.

Excellent Estate Attorney

Peter represented me and my family our father's estate. He was very responsive and explained things in a way that was easy to grasp. He made an emotional matter much easier to deal with. We recommend him highly.

Great experience working with Peter Frasca

In my capacity as a commercial real estate broker specializing in single tenant retail, I come across a lot of deals that would create a problematic tax situation for the buyers; the most complicated of which is the taxes associated with "phantom income". Most brokers and lawyers I've dealt with hav...e not been able to work out this issue. When I contacted Peter Frasca he displayed a tremendous amount of knowledge on this issue and was able to advise my clients on a number of complicated deals. He is now my main resource attorney for all of these types of deals.

Excellent Attorney

Peter set up the LLC for my florida company and gave invaluable advice for the formation and continuing operation as well as advising for the past 10 years for my taxes and tax related matters and the formation of my commodity trading company.

A really excellent Lawyer

I found Peter through a friend of mine. I was having some issues with my taxes (my fault) but he untangled my mess and got me on the right track. He also set up a trust for my business. He saved me some serious money and stress. I would be happy to refer him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
