Daniel R. Hargrove
Founding Attorney · J.D., LL.M. in Taxation
Daniel R. Hargrove founded Hargrove & Bell LLP in 2004 to give owners and professionals counsel that is direct, credentialed, and discreet. Before opening the firm, he practiced tax and business law at a larger firm and saw how often a client's real need was simply a clear explanation and a sensible plan.
His practice centers on tax, with an LL.M. in Taxation and admission to the U.S. Tax Court, and extends across the employment, real estate, and general business matters that businesses face day to day. He works with each client directly, rather than handing the matter to a rotating intake desk.

How We Work
Direct counsel. You work with the attorney on your matter. The advice is plain, and the explanation is part of the service. You should understand your own situation, not just trust that someone else does.
One firm for connected matters. Because the practice covers tax, employment, real estate, and general business, a matter that touches more than one area stays with one firm and one consistent view.
Discreet by default. Communications with the firm are confidential. The consultation is a place to speak plainly about what is going on, without concern that it travels further.
