Couldn't be better!

Daniel Dorsch helped us establish Power of Attorney during a crisis in our lives. It was an emergent and sad time for us. Dan was sensitive to our situation. He was more than professional, he was caring. He placed our needs in front of some of his other work to be sure our situation was covered in... time. Later, after our loved one passed, Dan helped us establish an Executor of Estate and even helped us research some information and figure out next steps in a situation that had no benefit for him. He was responsive, efficient and in constant communication with us. We consider him a blessing and could not have asked for better service.

Very satistied and incredibly pleased!!!

Daniel Brown Dorsch is an incredible attorney and has a "salt of the earth" personality! He is highly educated and has a kind and dear demeanor which allows him to be a real person along with providing extremely professional service. My partner and I have different needs than a heterosexual couple,... and he is providing us with some excellent ideas of "getting our ducks" in order for the future. Daniel has represented me on several occasions, and the prompt service with which he responded and his ideas and insight have been just exactly what was needed. He is a family man, and has outstanding values which one experiences as they continue to work along side of him. He knows the law, and has always kept me abreast of certain situations that might affect our future. I had the opportunity to look through his Handbook of Estate Planning he uses with his clients, and I was blown away. I have seen and heard of other attorney's handbooks whatever their specialties are, and never seen one as complete and professional as his. He has been a very dear friend since high school, and I am proud to call him my personal and professional friend. Dan is a "Class Act," and I personally like that. Hire Dan, and you will never have to look for any other attorney. I guarantee you will be satisfied!

Super Experience

Dan helped us with a will, and did an outstanding job. He is very organized and has a great attention to detail. He was also very patient and did a great job explaining all of the details, since this was our first experience with a will. I would highly recommend him to others!

Great Estate planning attorney

My wife and i needed to do estate planning. Mr Dorsch did an excellent job listening to our situation and then setting up trusts that were tailored to our needs. I highly recommend him.

High Value, High Integrity - Exceptional Client Centered Delivery

I am in the business of working with world class individuals-Olympians, Olympic medallist, multiple medal winning Olympic coaches, teams, and programs. So, when I met Dan the bar was high in expectation. I can truthfully say, I consider Dan and the subsequent work he did for our family-world class. I...t was exceptional and beyond measure, as is Dan himself. It was a tremendous privilege for our family to partner with Dan's to assess and redefine our needs for our family trust given an extended move overseas. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have retained his services-discovered a world class individual, one committed to delivering the right result at the right time and with high level engagement. More and more today, it is difficult to locate individuals who have and demonstrate high integrity and deep care for clients. From the first time I met with Dan, I knew our family would be well looked after. Dan demonstrated a thorough approach and process that ensured our family's needs were 'center stage' and paramount when developing our trust. He has an extraordinary ability to make you feel at ease, involve and educate you on the estate / legal processes. He helped create real clarity for me on tough issues which required immediate decisions-ones that would inevitably affect the future of those I hold most dear-my family. Getting it right, was essential. One great example of Dan's commitment and understanding may be that we needed to get a final asset approved and we were coming cross barriers in time and location-our flights were due to depart in days, Dan leveraged his skill, local resources and personal contacts to ensure our last asset received the special and unique signature it needed to be included. This was an extraordinary. Simply put Dan is 'high value.
