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.
