Non-Profit Legal Center

T.S. Wrobel & Associates are professional, effective, and easy to work with. They guide you through the entire 501c3 process, from incorporation to annual state and federal requirements. Their attention to detail and their quality-​work sets the bar high. I’d work with them any day!

In 2002, with the help of T.S. Wrobel and Associates, our organization transitioned from being a small local business to a global Non-​Profit. Having had no previous background working in the Non-​profit sector, we weren’t sure what to expect or how to begin. From our first call, Tom put us at ease. Professional, insightful, clear and extremely helpful, he guided us, step by step, through the paperwork and the building of the board. His demeanor was always one of generosity, with a commitment to our success. Thank you Tom and Associates! We are forever grateful for your contribution and for helping us be of service in the world.
If you are looking for a team who will be there for you every step of the way, T.S. Wrobel and Associates is the legal service for you.

I am on the board of an organization that made the decision to become a Non-​Profit. We were all very excited about the change but soon learned that we had no idea how to make the shift. Thankfully we found Tom Wrobel and the Non-​Profit Legal Center. Tom took the time to meet with our board, go over our questions and give us step by step direction on how to make becoming a Non-​Profit a reality. With Tom’s leadership we soon became an official 501c3! Thank you Tom! I don’t know where we would be without your leadership and vast understanding of what it takes to become a Non-​profit.

Tom Worbel and the Non-​Profit Legal Center provided me the opportunity to create my own non-​profit without worrying about all the legal necessities. Paperwork needed to start up, remain solvent and running was handeled by Tom and his associates quickly, effeciently and perfect the first time. I would advise any person wishing to apply for non-​profit status to use Tom Worbel and the center rather than doing it themselves. One reason is because it is quite overwhelming and includes many many objectives that a lay person will not have the knowledge to complete. The second reason is that of time; re: if you make one mistake, you can count on the IRS and CA Franchise Board rejecting your application. This results in a 6 to 12 month delay in your obtaining your 501c3 status. Time is money. Money well spent is to engage Mr. Worbel and associates instead of going it alone. I have had and continue to have a great professional and personal relationhip with the center and urge any person or organization seeking non-​profit status to make this investment for your own piece of mind. I give the Non-​Profit Legal Center and Tom Worbel 5 Stars.

Tom and his team made the process of forming a non-​profit really easy and straightforward. He has a really broad grasp of nonprofit business and legal issues and is able to explain them in an approachable, compassionate way. He’s not one of those experts who «knows better than you,» even when he actually does. In other words, he’s easy to work with and gets the job done.

Thomas and his staff (Krista and Stella) were a pleasure to work with in obtaining the 501c3 for my non profit dog rescue «A Cause for Paws, Inc.» They were extremely responsive to all of my questions and concerns. Thomas continues to guide me as my business grows. I consider myself VERY lucky to have found them and know that I can always trust and depend on their knowledge and advice!
Thank you Thomas, Krista, and Stella!

I am part of an arts collective that is turning into an official non-​profit with the help of Tom Wrobel. Tom seems to have a lot of experience doing this type of work and was very helpful in answering our (many) questions about the process. I feel supported by him and confident that soon, we will be running as a non-​profit. Thanks Tom!

Tom Wrobel and the Non-​profit Legal Center turned a seemingly daunting task into a fun and exciting endeavor. Our unique arts organization has benefited greatly from Tom’s knowledge and personal attention. Tom offers his legal expertise at an affordable rate and he and his staff are very kind and attentive. I would recommend this firm to anyone seeking to start a non-​profit.

I’ve know Thomas Wrobel for over ten years. He is a outstanding attorney and real contributor to others; tremendously generous with his time and insight.
Tom helped me with the 501c3 nonprofit that I founded, The Future Leader’s Institute,
. His support and advice was instrumental in helping make FLI a success that continues serving the lives of thousands of youth year after year. He is professional, warm and such a treat to work with!
I recommend him highly and am very grateful for his legal expertise and diligence over his representation of FLI and involvement with the FLI Board of Directors.

TS Wrobel and Associates are the most wonderful firm for helping non profits to start up. They made it so easy, kept me well informed and when I had questions, answered them thoroughly. I would highly recommend them to anyone! Everyone in the office is so helpful and supportive, it’s heartwarming! I am so grateful they are on my team!

Tom was absolutely fantastic to work with. I found him to be highly professional yet deeply personable at the same time. His work was thorough, his knowledge of the legal arena we were working in was both broad and deep, and he brought plenty of insight to the situation. I highly recommend him.

Thomas and his administration are excellent at what they do to help nonprofits get started or help to continue to be successful. TS Wrobel and Associates helped get me started and attain my 501c3 statusin just seven weeks. My board and his team worked together smoothly without any issues. They understood what we needed and by working together Inspired to Give Inc. Was established in just seven weeks as a 501c3 NPO. Thank you Mr. Thomas and to his administration.

Tom Wrobel is an extremely insightful, strategic nonprofit tax attorney. Regardless of the complexity of the matter, Tom considers not only your legal taxation strategy, but also provides deeply insightful business and human dynamic practicalities towards your nonprofit legal needs. His demeanor and personality enable clients to develop a complete trust and confidence in his advice, which as the head of the Nonprofit Legal Center, I deem critical. He understands the need to offer the appropriate level of input to meet your specific needs, so that financial, organizational, and legal benefits are taken advantage of. Plus, and for me this is a huge plus, he’s a great guy, with a heart of gold. Highly recommended!”

Tom is a great attorney that distinguishes himself by having great character and integrity. I can count on Tom to keep his word. I’m a chiropractor that worked with Tom on a personal injury case. Both myself and the client were very satisfied with Tom. He gave direct advice and personal attention to the legal situation. He really cared that the outcome was positive for all. He also provided legal guidance to a nonprofit fraternal organization that I belong to. Plus I think he’s funny. Tom’s got a good sense of humor that always lightens up a room.

Staring a non-​profit was daunting. His team helped me answer my questions regarding the paperwork, the budget, and the consultation I received from Thomas was worth it. I’m sure most of the paperwork could have been completed by me without their help, but not accurately. There is a method to their success and I was happy with this referral. I was nervous about getting started and they worked at a payment plan that was a win-​win. My only advice is to double check your paperwork and educate yourself on how much you have to the state for fees.

We could have not made the transition to a non profit without the help of TS Wrobel & Associates. Thomas Wrobel and Associates provided quality and professionalism at an affordable rate and everyone was a pure joy to work with.

We are a booster club for the golf team at a new high school. TS Wrobel and associates were able to help us through the application process of applying for a 501c. They were very professional and answered all our questions. We highly recommend them.

I used Thomas Wrobel & Assoc. to set up my 501c3 college scholarship program. I couldn’t be happier with the level of professionalism I received. In fact, just today, the IRS approved our application! The turnaround time from application to approval was amazing! Everyone in the office was so helpful and ALWAYS answered my questions promptly. I highly recommend this law firm to set up your non profit organization. John Rubinow, M.D.
