Dan Gasink is an experienced problem solver who helps people who are concerned about how their family will manage their estate and those who don’t want death taxes and fees to eat away their assets. Dan has helped over a thousand clients over his fifteen plus years of practice. Dan takes pride in making sure that his work for clients is reliably prepared on time. Dan works with his partners and staff at Johnson, Gasink & Baxter, LLP, to protect his clients, their families, and their wealth.
Dan lives in Williamsburg with his wife, Ginny, their young children, and their yellow lab, Lucy. Moving around much in early years, his family settled in Northern Virginia where he attended high school. At William and Mary, he majored in history, minored in religion, and received a teaching certificate. Upon graduating, he taught high school social studies in Hampton before returning to William and Mary for a law degree. He practiced Estate Planning law in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area until he married Ginny (another William and Mary alumna) in 2005 and they soon returned to Williamsburg. Dan has been in private practice in Williamsburg since that move and enjoys speaking as an Estate Planning expert and as a continuing education teacher. His hobbies include playing music and hiking and canoeing through the lovely Virginia outdoors.
Dan focuses his law practice on Wills, Trusts and Probate. He enjoys helping families through the difficult transitions of life and passing. Dan’s law firm, Johnson, Gasink & Baxter, LLP solves clients’ problems using careful planning, reliable procedures, hard work, and creativity.
