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.

I had the good fortune to choose Steven to handle my mother's estate. He has expertise in many areas of business, but I was primarily interested in settling the estate. From probating the will to recording deeds everything was done quickly and efficiently. He could not have made the process easier. Steven is not only a personable guy, but will readily address any questions or concerns you might have and he will respond quickly.

Steve has been doing our taxes for a few years now and his work is always consistently excellent. We are in a somewhat strange situation of being nonresident aliens for tax purposes, and of course we want to make sure that we adhere to our obligations to the IRS while living in the US! The prospect of trying to figure out our taxes was really intimidating and frankly rather complicated, but Steve has been amazingly patient, thorough, and kind throughout a stressful process. It has been an enormous relief to know that we can trust him to get everything right on our behalf! We are so lucky and so grateful to have found him. Thank you, Steve!

I can’t say enough about Steven J. Fromm & Associates. What he did to resolve my tax situation was above and beyond. I received a letter of Intent to Sue from the city on February 2020 involving taxes for 2001 (19 years ago). I had no clue how I could prove anything without the documents that I had paid. It was involving business taxes from my husband who had recently passed. I am glad to write this review because Mr. Fromm brought this to a much better resolution than I thought was possible. Thank you! Patricia Everett

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.

Mr. Fromm was really so helpful - he was patient, thorough and walked me through all of my questions.

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.

Steve was so helpful! I had a complicated question about settling an estate and Steve talked me through a variety of options. 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.
