At The Law Firm of Bruce A. Danford, L.L.C., we strive to combine personal service with professional results. Admitted to practice throughout Colorado, federal trial and appellate courts and before the U.S. Tax Court, attorney Bruce Danford, along with attorneys Wilton Anderson and Daniel A. Edelstein, represent people with legal concerns in a number of important areas:
Tax Law : A former CPA and corporate controller, Bruce Danford has more than 30 years of experience in the tax field and possesses an advanced law degree (LL.M.) in taxation.
Our lawyers provide advice and representation in taxation issues ranging from explaining the tax considerations in business organization to IRS audits and litigation before the U.S. Tax Court. Client concerns have included the gift tax, estate taxation, state and IRS tax liens, levies and deficiency notices, offers in compromise, and negotiation for abatement of interest and penalties.
IRS Disputes and Defense : Whether you are a business owner or individual, dealing with IRS and state tax issues can be overwhelming. We can assist you in addressing IRS and state audits, collection actions and other tax liability-related issues.
Collections : We strive to help individuals, businesses and creditors deal with collection actions on either side of the issue. While the majority of our collection practice involves working with business creditors seeking payment on past due and delinquent accounts, we also work with individuals seeking payment on service contracts, promissory notes and loans. Additionally, we work with individual and business debtors to resolve debt issues with creditors.
Estate Planning and Wills : Mr. Danford's LL.M. included a concentration in estate planning, giving him a complete understanding of strategic estate planning.
We strive to create an estate plan that minimizes potential tax liability while protecting your financial and personal interests. Services include the preparation of wills, trusts, general durable powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney, advance medical directives, and the formation and operation of family limited partnerships for estate planning or succession purposes.
Our experience with other complex estate planning tools such as charitable lead trusts (CLT, CLAT, CLUT), charitable remainder trusts (CRRT, CRAT, CRUT), grantor retained annuities (GRAT), and intentionally defective grantor trusts (IDGT) can promote even the most complex financial goals.
Probate : Whether you were named an executor or administrator of a will or need to contest one, The Law Firm of Bruce A. Danford, L.L.C., can assist you. We not only create estate plans, we also protect them during the probate process. We advise executors, administrators and trustees as they administer and distribute complex estate plans.
Should disputes arise, we are experienced and effective trial lawyers. We can contest wills and trusts or work to protect your interests during probate proceedings in other ways. We also represent clients in issues involving guardianships and conservatorships.
Nonprofit and Tax-Exempt Entities : Mr. Danford has extensive experience in the proper formation of nonprofit entities and securing tax-exempt status designations from the Internal Revenue Service. He can also advise on the continuing operation of the entity within all state and federal guidelines to ensure your organization maintains its tax-exempt status and operates effectively.
Civil Law and Litigation : Mr. Danford advises businesses and individuals on general business law and represents those involved in a wide variety of civil disputes.
