Combining thoughtful listening with practical, strategic solutions, Daniel (Dan) Guinan advises individuals, families, and small business owners on complex estate planning, tax planning, business succession planning, and general corporate legal needs.

Dan’s goal is to help each client design and implement a specific, comprehensive tax-efficient estate plan that aligns with their personal, family, financial, and long-term business objectives.

Dan knows that estate planning can often be a sensitive and complicated matter. At the start of the estate planning process, he dedicates time to understanding his client’s desires and needs, then patiently answers questions to ensure his clients feel that their wealth will be securely passed on to future generations. Dan looks at the big picture when working with his clients on an estate plan, considering his client’s income, assets, businesses, and family needs. He strives to make complicated tax planning strategies easy to understand for his clients all at the same time while building a comprehensive plan that protects their wealth, assets, business, and family’s future.

Dan is a dedicated legal advisor to nonprofit corporations, with a passion for supporting mission-driven organizations through every stage of their lifecycle. With extensive experience in nonprofit formation, governance, IRS compliance, board fiduciary duties, and conflicts of interest compliance, he helps clients navigate complex regulatory landscapes while staying focused on their charitable goals.

Dan holds a Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy® designation from The American College of Financial Services. He works with clients to identify and implement charitable giving strategies to build and preserve their family’s legacy.

An active member of the community, Dan has and continues to dedicate time to serving as a board member for several nonprofit organizations in the Omaha area. Outside of the office, Dan enjoys spending time with his family and golfing.
