Tom Wrobel helped me answer questions about applying to the IRS for our non-profit's 501c3 tax exempt status and pursuing charitable contribution registration. He was encouraging, accessible, and clear in his explanations without being condescending, which made the entire interaction enjoyable.

I had been working in India for several years offering expressive arts workshops for survivors of human trafficking under a fiscal sponsor and it was a daunting decision to finally take the step to become a registered 501(c)3 but Tom and his entire legal staff made the process so easy! No matter who answers your call (sometimes even Tom) T.S. Wrobel and Associates are always friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and most importantly, generous with their time. I highly recommend this law practice. It is an invaluable investment while navigating the process of becoming a non profit. You will have peace of mind having Tom and his team guiding you on your journey.

I've worked with Tom to file 501(c)3 applications for two organizations I've worked with and he and his team have been outstanding. He's an incredible resource for anything related to starting a non-profit, best practices, compliance etc. and a joy to talk to!

From start to finish Thomas and his team were great and easy to work with! They got us our 501c3 status! If you are thinking about starting your own non-profit, starting a business, or estate planning Call Thomas!

Tom Wrobel and The Non-Profit Center provided me the opportunity to create my own non-profit without worrying about the legal necessities. Paperwork needed to start up, remain solvent and running was handled quickly, effeciently and perfect the first time. I advise any person seeking non-profit status to use TW and the Center rather than doing it themselves. One reason is because it is quite overwhelming and includes many objectives a lay person will not have the knowledge to complete. The second reason is that of time, i.e.: if you make ONE mistake, you can count on the IRS or the CA FRANCHISE BOARD rejecting your application. This results in a 6 to 12 month delay. Time is money. Money well spent is to engage TW instead of going it alone. I have had and continue to have a great professional and personal relationship with the Center any urge anyone seeking non/profit status to make this investment for your own piece of mind. I give Tom Wrobel and The Non/Profit Center 5 stars!

I'm in awe at the speed it took to get my 501 (c)(3) determination letter from the IRS. It took 11 days. My fear of failure caused me to procrasitinate, but Mr. Worbel and his staff held my hand and walked me through the process. Thank you for not giving up on me even when I lacked confidence in myself.

Thomas was a HUGE help in setting up our 501c3 nonprofit corporation with the IRS. He guided us through all of the paperwork and made sure we got an expedited response -- it would have been a nightmare without his help and expertise. Definitely recommended.

The non-profit animal rescue I founded has been using T.S. Wrobel & Associates for almost seven years for help with our year end filings. Mr. Wrobel and his team have been extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the process. Every year, our tax preparation is done in an organized, timely and streamlined fashion. I highly recommend that you utilize his services. The team does a wonderful job and I come back year after year for the great work provided.

Tom and his associates at the Nonprofit Law Center made sure that we were able to make an informed decision to start a 501c3 nonprofit organization. They were there to support every step from beginning to end, complete and register applications, state forms and insure the acceptance of our tax filings (along with rescuing us from a tax issue we had), in a timely, professional yet friendly manner. We have recommended this law firm to many in Michigan looking for a trusted, reliable, knowledgeable law firm to handle their affairs. I will seek their advise for many other legal issues such as wills, probate, trusts and the land and property lease issues our nonprofits will be visiting in the near future. Many thanks to you, Tom!

T.S. Wrobel & Associates helped us with all the legal documents and applications that are required by federal and state to be approved as nonprofit organization under 501(c)(3). After explaining objectives of our organization, he and his team knew what applications are relevant for us and helped us with processes. Some of the greatest assets of T.S. Wrobel & Associates were their patience with us and their availability for questions throughout the approval processes and beyond. In addition to 501(c)(3) approval process, they helped us with IRS tax except status and we received our approval in a timely manner.

We, Bay Area Pal Tsechen Ling board of directors highly recommend T.S. Wrobel & Associates as Thomas's expertise in legalizing nonprofit organization in California is very valuable. We are very satisfied with services we received from him and his associates and will definitely contact him for any future services.

Tom is a very approachable, extremely responsive attorney. He helped us with the formation of our nonprofit. Not only did his office make the process easy, but they helped answer the many questions we had. Throughout the process, it was clear that Tom genuinely cared about us, which is, in our minds, the most fundamentally important thing to look for in an attorney. We are deeply grateful for Tom's hard work, and highly recommend him for your nonprofit legal needs.

I worked with Thomas starting mid august of last year and it was easily one of the best experiences I've had. They're speed and efficiency was tremendous and they made the transition of us moving from a fiscal sponsor to a full fledge non profit an easy one. The staff is equally friendly and professional, with the ability to create a positive and efficient environment in which one is able to learn and get things done. Their customer service has been superb from start to finish. I'm very grateful to have been referred to them from one of the top law firms in san francisco. I could not recommend a better team to assist you in all of your non profit needs. Thank You TS Wrobel & Associates!

Tom helped our long time loose organization transition into a 501c. He was very knowledgeable on all every facet of the process and the on-going maintenance needed to be in compliance. He's been available when the Board needed consultation for follow up and we continue to consider him a great resource for our org.
