Steve Fromm goes out of his way to help
I had a big problem trying to protect assets of my mothers Will after she passed away. Steve took the time to talk to me . He was very knowledgeable and showed a great deal of compassion and understanding. I only wish I would have found him a year earlier .He could have avoided alot of anxiety and loss of property. He was so easy to talk to and so down to earth. I highly recommend him for any estate and tax planning.

Posted by anonymous | May 11, 2012
he will be in your corner
Fromm was in addition to estate planning involved in a very messy probate case; he was the one who summarized the probate case as:
"Your brother-in-law has defrauded you."
Once I saw that -- brotherinlaw defraud--I knew Fromm saw something other counsels had not seen. I am extremely grateful for that. I highly recommend him.

Clear Statement of Issues Involved
Mr Fromm kindly listened patiently to my question, and then very clearly set out the obstacles that I would face in trying to rectify the situation. Unfortunately, he also had to advise me that he was not in the proper venue to handle my case,

The world needs more lawyers like you..wish you were licensed in my state
I came across Avvo in my desperate search for information, advice and attempts to find a lawyer. I posted my question with no expectations, ready to hear repeated advice. Mr. Fromm not only answered my question, he provided additional advice that proved very useful. I feel he went above and beyond with his knowledge and committment to assist. His response time and follow up amazed me. I live in another state from where I need a lawyer in a probate "disaster". I've worked on this situation for months and still have a long road ahead. So many questions to ask and decisions I have to make still. This man not only provided free information, he renewed my hope and faith that I will find a lawyer that I will be able to give the same rating I gave him. Hiring a lawyer would be a simple choice if he were licensed in the state I need him in. Mr. Fromm, it's obvious to me that you care and take great pride in your profession. You are an example of what ALL lawyers should strive to be. Again, many Thanks to you and God Bless You and yours.

Power of Attorney Question
I went online and found a site called Avvo that had alot of information about elder abuse. I had some questions about POA rights when the person that assigned them is still alive but in a nursing home therefore having no knowledge about how their finances are being handled. Within just a few hours Mr.Fromm emailed some advice and also did a followup a few days later. I really appreciated that he took time (and at no charge) to help a stranger (me) to help an elderly person.

Within the limitations of Legal Advice, at a distance.
With the topic and cross state limitations to my question. He responded the best he could given the distance and limited given information. His answers were relative to what I asked, and even broader than expected. If I were within the state of PA, I would gladly consider him to be an Attorney of Choice.

I wish Steve Fromm was my lawyer!
I have asked a couple of questions on AVVO. Both times Mr. Fromm was very quick to respond and give me good information. He also responded to an e-mail I sent directly to him. I am amazed because the dealings I have had with lawyers do not compare to what I have received from Mr. Fromm! I believe he really wants to help people with their legal matters. I think anyone who retains his services will be so glad they made that choice. Thank you, Mr. Fromm, for your help.

Great help from a true professional........
My mother passed away and I needed help with highly dishonest family members. Steve Fromm was an encyclopedia of information for me. Not only were his responses such a help, but the speed at which he responded to my request for help was more than impressive.
I feel that Avvo is most fortunate to have Mr. Fromm as part of their team and anyone who is in need of legal services would do well to contact him. I'm very appreciative and I thank you Steve for a job well done.

HELPFUL!!
Im creating an estate for my father without the help of legal representation. I found Steve on here and he answered my questions in a very short time!
Posted by anonymous | October 24, 2010
Answered my question regarding paying for maintenance of house in trust quickly.
I have been having issues with my brother and his wife second guessing me on handling paying for the maintenance of my father's home, which is in an irrevocable trust. I had to pay for tree and shrub removal using money from the trust checking, and my brother acted as if I had done something wrong, so I asked about this. Thankyou, Mr. Fromm. I will consult with my father's trust lawyer, however, your response gave me some peace of mind tonight. God bless you!
