Trustworthy and experienced estate attorney

My long-standing relationship with Austin Frye dates back to work he did for my father. When my mother needed estate planning guidance, Austin did a remarkable job for her, as well. Similarly, when my new mother-in-law was in need of estate planning services, the only person I would trust is Austin... Frye. He is very likeable and always knows the exact questions to ask, and as my mother-in-law observed, he is not only charming but very smart. The whole process was very smooth, and completed in a short period of time.

A complete solution for my business and personal legal needs

I have known and worked with Austin Frye and his team since 2008. In that time he has helped serve both my business and personal legal planning needs. From guidance on reviewing and keeping shareholder and state documentation up to date, to incorporating new businesses and establishing entities, Au...stin has kept our corporate legal needs on track. For my wife and me, regarding our estate planning, as well as in the handling of my mother’s probate, Austin gave us excellent guidance and servicing. Austin Frye and his team are courteous, responsive, and logical, and have an impressive level of expertise.

Trusted counsel who cares about his clients

I’ve been a client of Austin Frye for several years, having been referred to him when I opened my boutique law firm, after many years at a large firm. Austin counseled me at the outset, and ever since he has been a trusted advisor on matters related to the firm’s operation and growth. Most importan...tly, of course, he has given wise counsel on the firm’s 401k/profit sharing plan. And he has counseled me personally as well on estate and retirement planning matters. What’s extraordinary about Austin, beyond his expertise, credentials and impressive track record, is the personal attention he gives his clients. That's really important, but rarely experienced. Austin and his team of professionals offer wise counsel on estate and retirement planning, and they’re responsive. Put simply, they are very good at what they do, and they care about their clients! You’ll do well to have Austin Frye and his team of professionals in your corner.

Outstanding Attorney

Austin Frye provided legal services to my father while alive and to his estate after his death; when showing the EP docs his firm prepared to other professionals (lawyers, financial advisors, accountants), they all commented that these were the most “tight” documents they had ever seen, as to thoroug...hness and specificity (included the right details) and as to format. During the period when my father was very ill and near death, Austin did a great job of preparing and getting me familiarized with what to expect and the steps to be taken. Over the course of the probate administration, Austin and his team were extremely helpful and patient (even with “silly” questions!); AND our total fees were definitely lower than we expected! I attribute this to Austin and his team’s ability to walk me though completing some of the needed steps on my own, as I desired , and thus keeping our overall billing lower. Austin and his staff were highly knowledgeable and experienced in navigating us through all the IRS court requirements. In addition, my mom met with Austin a couple of times for follow up planning, and she was extremely satisfied.

My most Trusted Attorney

I was recommended to Mr. Frye about twelve years ago by my personal accountant who was also his client . Since then he has been there through the death of my father and my only brother. He learned of the news and called me from his vacation to answer any questions and give me a telephone where I coul...d reach him at the vacation site. He has helped me through the tragedies and guided me wisely. Our affairs, assets and estate are well organized and protected because of his advice over these many years. During that time he has helped me with Estate/Trust planning, Asset Protection, Business Entity Structuring, Employment Contracts and Probate Administration with a fair and reasonable cost. I hope to have him as a consultant and trusted friend for the next six years when I hope to retire, and even afterwards.
