Dan has worked as a trustee for my family for over fourteen years. He has negotiated a real estate sale for multiple trusts to multiple buyers. He has negotiated an employment agreement for me. He holds a mortgage in trust for a family member. He does multiple trust quarterly tax filings as well as record keeping for multiple trust tax returns. He handles a total of 8 trusts and one six partner family partnership. He coordinates Life insurance policies for us as well. He is honest and has always been helpful as a confidant. I have referred Dan to a number of close friends and will continue to do so.

Dan has a knack for guiding people in the right direction and making them feel as if it were their idea all along. His collaborative and collegial style is refreshing and very necessary for the type of work that he does. I had a pleasure working with Dan on a trust matter recently and highly recommend him.

Jennifer Guimond-Quigley

Attorney

I worked with Dan to resolve a sticky situation involving a single pot trust for the benefit of two children who lost their father and who have different mothers. Dan handled the situation with intelligence, grace, clarity. Because of his efforts and approach, we were able to reach an accord with all interested persons, helped to preserve family relations, and limit the expense of future administration. Dan is a top shelf trustee and advisor.
