About Adam M. Damerow
Adam Damerow assists ultra high-net-worth individuals in creating tax-efficient estate plans to preserve, protect and transfer wealth to future generations. He also guides fiduciaries and beneficiaries through disputes over estates and trusts, often helping them avoid the time, expense and burden of litigation.
Advising clients with both pragmatism and strategy
Adam focuses solely on private client matters. He knows that wealth creators don't just want to transfer their wealth in tax-efficient ways; they want to give their beneficiaries the flexibility to use and maintain that wealth for future generations. He works to understand his clients' values and goals with their tax planning, and then achieve those goals as efficiently and creatively as possible.
"He has a very good understanding of not only trust law but tax law and implications. He has an excellent manner about him that would work well with clients. He provides strong representation but he's personally quite congenial and co-operative.'"
