Steve is an excellent attorney who has provided help for my family personally for business, tax, and other services for many years. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, and is extremely good at explaining legal concepts to me in clear terms understandable to a non-attorney. It is difficult to pick only three attributes above, since Steve’s work meets most if not all of the attributes above.

Steve Fromm is a superb lawyer and I highly recommend him! After a terrible experience with a previous lawyer concerning an estate administration, I entered his office feeling very deflated, confused and discouraged. However, I left his office feeling enthusiastic and eager to get down to business. My situation was very unique, I needed his expertise for an array of things and Steve was able to address all of my needs. With a limited timeframe and an extreme amount of obstacles to overcome he worked meticulously, diligently and accomplished extraordinary results. His professionalism is incomparable and I am forever grateful.

Steve has handled all of the details of my father's estate with extreme professionalism, always in a timely manner and most of all with a kindness that goes above and beyond. For 8 years now, he has answered every email quickly and accurately, he has explained concepts that were above my understanding and has been an absolute pleasure to work with in every way. I know I speak for my whole family in recommending Steve.

Great call with Steven. He walked me through what my situation would look like with a potential move. He covered everything from tax planning to real estate to lifestyle considerations. He was fun to talk to, which is rare for an attorney! Highly recommended.

I highly recommend Mr. Fromm. He recently helped me through a very complicated tax filing for American expats. He is very knowledgeable, thorough and has lots of experience. I couldn't have been happier with the work that he did for me. Thank you.

After unsuccessfully reaching out to other tax attorneys and a tax accountant, Steven Fromm responded immediately to my concerns regarding a complex business tax issue. Steven was reassuring and very knowledgeable. He was receptive and engaging while providing clear concise recommendations to resolve this issue. Steven's professionalism and ability to explain matters in a simple, logical way was most reassuring to me. He gave me the answers I needed and I'm confident now that my business tax issue will be successfully resolved. I highly recommend Steven J. Fromm & Associates, P.C. for all your business tax concerns. David Scott

I called with a tax law question a few days ago. Mr. Fromm picked up and introduced himself and proceeded to listen to my question and offered me various suggestions so that it could be resolved. I followed his recommendations and was able to resolve the issue within a few days. He was very respectful and patient. I would return if I have further issues in the near and distant future.

We had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Fromm as a consultation. We had previously used an attorney and paid fees, though accomplished nothing. In our short discussion with Mr. Fromm, he clarified our situation and provided a clear path forward. He was candid and frank, while being transparent about the fees and our expectations. My wife is an attorney and very selective and she was quite impressed with Mr. Fromm and would not hesitate to engage him for legal work. We're grateful for his time and glad we had the opportunity for his counsel.

Steven was such a great help to me when we lost my mother unexpectedly. I was completely clueless about how to execute her will, but he walked me through every step, even with the difficulty of me being out of state. He helped me with every unexpected bump and curve as we navigated the process. I highly recommend him!

I highly recommend Steven Fromm & Associates. My wife and I have used Mr. Fromm's services for the last two years and will continue to do so. He is conscientious, thorough, kind, and professional. We were very lucky to find him - he has been nothing but helpful throughout situations ranging from the mundane to the rather more complicated.

Steven is fantastic and very personable. Supremely attentive to my needs, provided excellent advice and support, and demonstrated incredible knowledge of partnership agreements. In our first consultation he addressed complex issues that may arise down the road and how to keep my interests protected. I highly recommend engaging Steven Fromm as your corporate attorney.

He's extremely knowledgeable and was willing to spend the time needed to help me understand the various actions I could take. In addition, he was friendly and sympathetic.

THE BEST OF THE BEST!!! After doing hours of research by speaking with attorneys, checking public records, and reading legitimate client reviews, I determined that Steven J. Fromme is the best attorney of his type in the Philadelphia area and one of the finest in the country. My subsequent personal experiences with him further proved my determination. He is not only a talented, knowledgable, honest, world class expert but he sincerely cares about his clients. He is definitely not the typical money-hungry sociopath masquerading as a caring lawyer. Notice that Mr. Fromm has a RARE five-star rating on Yelp, where it is almost impossible to post fake reviews. I have done your homework for you. You cannot surpass Mr Fromm.
