Trustworthy & Knowledgeable

Jeff and his team were instrumental in helping our organization attain our 501(c)(3) public charity status. He partnered with us on every level to create and develop our organization and navigate the process with ease. I have recommended him to my friends and colleagues as an essential resource to th...eir "side project" needs.

What a blessing for non-profits!

Jeff has been a blessing as a new non-profit organization. He has directed me in filing 990N, filed BCO 10 and PA Tax Exemption paperwork to free me up for the other things in creating and running my non-profit. As a Social Worker and Attorney, he understands all aspects of non-profits and provides ...great insight.

Jeff is an excellent attorney and social worker and provides thoughtful, careful support to new businesses.

Jeff was extremely helpful when we reached out to him for legal support in creating a nonprofit organization to support individuals with social and learning differences. Jeff first supported me with numerous consultations at my LLC. As a result of the fantastic support he provided there, we hired Jef...f again in an effort to earn 501c3 status (which we did, swiftly!). We contracted with Jeff immediately after meeting him in person and understanding the level of both legal and social work support he could provide us. It was and continues to be so meaningful to us that Jeff has a unique understanding of the social services field to guide him in providing us with appropriate legal support that helps both of us as directors of the nonprofit, and also supports our clients' unique needs. Jeff is thoughtful, measured, and supportive, and I have already made several recommendations to others who have benefitted from his services.

Helping a Small Business Owner Get Off the Ground

I just started my own food truck business and Jeff has helped me obtain my proper licensing and permits on both a local and state level. Being a small business owner it has been a huge help and weight off my shoulders knowing that he has been taking care of these issues and has allowed me to focus on... my bottom line and the growth of my business. Jeff is an incredibly professional and friendly person to work with and I am happy to have him on my side as an attorney. I strongly recommend utilizing his expertise and knowledge for all your legal needs.

Excellent Legal Consult, Excellent Person

As a budding nonprofit organization, the Arts for Autism Foundation was faced with two major obstacles: funding and expert legal support. Jeff Fromknecht's Side Project was conceptualized to aid nonprofits in overcoming these specific hurdles and, literally, came to our rescue. A Board member... introduced me to Jeff and Side Project for the purposes of establishing a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation and filing for federal tax exemption. It was an unexpected connection that has provided the expert legal counsel I was originally seeking and so much more. In addition to softening the edges of a daunting process by filing corporate formation and tax-exempt applications at cost, the folks at Side Project have remained genuinely interested in the success of our program. Because of this dedication, they continue to help us network with relevant groups, review our grant applications and simply take the time to listen and problem solve as questions arise. Jeff and his colleagues have gone above and beyond in establishing a solid footing from which we are flourishing. Having directly benefitted from the mission of Side Project, I fully endorse Jeff Fromknecht's expertise.

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.
