Excellent

Great information and very thorough on setting up a trust. Dan is very knowledgeable about trusts and all the aspects of setting one up. He went over and above what most attorneys would do and didn't charge for every little minute. One charge for all the time and communication he did for us. And ...he did extra work to help us out without charging us. We would highly recommend Dan for all your trust needs.

Family Trust

Dan did an great job setting up our family trust, explained how it worked, what we needed to do and had done in a timely manner.

A Man of Integrity and Compassion

My husband and I met Dan Dorsch several years ago. He led us through the legal aspects of having a trust, how it worked and what steps were needed after he completed our trust. He took time to explain things thoroughly, answer questions and made us feel very comfortable discussing financial issues ...with him. Fast forward several years, and I found myself calling Dan again to ask questions concerning our trust due to the fact my husband had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. I wanted to make sure we had everything in place prior to his passing. Dan again took time to answer all my questions and graciously offered his assistance during my husband's illness. Once my husband passed, I again needed Dan's advice. He walked me through the process of what I would need to do and how. I can't think of anyone else I would trust with my legal matters. Dan is a man of integrity and compassion.
