An excellent attorney

Dan has assisted my family on multiple occasions for many years now beginning with the settling of my grandmother’s estate upon her passing, to helping us form an LLC for the protection of our investment properties, to aiding some other family members with Trust-related matters. My husband and I plan... to have him prepare our Will and Trust next. While Dan is very knowledgeable and professional, he is also very warm and caring. He makes sure to explain things thoroughly to everyone involved and provides various options or directions to go. We have absolute faith in him and truly believe that he always has our best interest in mind. Without any doubt, we highly recommend Dan Morrin for business and estate planning to both individuals and families alike.

Dan Morrin

Dan is a former colleague of mine harking back to the early 90s. Recently, I hired him to draft a trust for myself and my husband as well as a special needs trust for our son. Dan has an excellent command of the law in this area and a comforting, friendly, warm rapport with the client. If you need... a will, trust and estate lawyer, Dan is the man for you.

Awesome Lawyer For Business & Personal Needs!

Dan was referred to us by our accountant for our corporation. He came out to our business and went over everything we were interested in doing. Dan first helped us with our family trust which he carefully went over with us, so that we had a clear understanding of what we were signing. Now that we hav...e our trust in place I can relax a bit. Secondly, my mother in law and I have recently started a new business and he helped us get our name, tax ID and an LLC for this new business. Dan is very informative and know his stuff! We highly recommend Dan Morrin for your business and personal needs!

Daniel Morrin-Great Attorney!

In an effort to lower our mortgage interest rate, my husband and I decided to remove my name from the deed of our house. Last January, my husband unexpectedly passed away. I was unable to locate my husband's will, so I turned to Dan Morrin to assist me in my petition for sole ownership of my home. Mr.... Morrin also drafted the probate paperwork for my husband's other assets and planned my estate. In a very short time, Mr. Morrin was able to secure my ownership of a home that I helped to purchase and maintain. My estate is planned and my children’s interests are secure. I have every confidence in Dan Morrin and his ability to represent me and I would recommend him to friends and family for their estate needs without hesitation.

Estate planning lawyer | Dec 05

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"A little over 20 years ago, my parents worked with Dan Morrin to create an estate plan. They owned a manufacturing company with approximately 100 employees. Their concern was to preserve their assets and to keep the company viable after their deaths. The problem they faced was the confiscatory 55% estate tax. Dan created an estate plan to discount the amount of estate taxes. When my father died in 2009, the estate taxes became due. Because of the estate plan and Dan’s skillful negotiations with the IRS, the estate taxes were substantially decreased. Without his knowledge and efforts, over half of my parents’ estate would have been lost to the government. Dan was also able to work out with the IRS a 15 year plan for me to pay off the estate taxes. Without this and the estate tax reduction, I would have had to close the company and sell off the assets to pay the IRS. I and many employees whose jobs were saved are very thankful to Dan."
