Darin DeAngeli
Partner
As an attorney and a certified public accountant for over 25 years, Darin DeAngeli has focused on all aspects of estate and wealth planning, charitable giving, charitable organizations, and business succession planning. Prior to forming Ahrens & DeAngeli, p.l.l.c. with Ed Ahrens in 1997, Darin served as a family wealth planning manager with Arthur Andersen. Darin has represented some of the wealthiest families and largest companies in Idaho and the western United States, and he is known regionally as one of the top legal advisors in matters involving charitable giving and charitable organizations. Ahrens DeAngeli Law Group’s clients and colleagues appreciate Darin’s experience and unique approach to complex legal issues, which always includes wit, humor and practical wisdom. Recently, Darin narrowly averted a run-in with ADLG’s human resources department when a future-ex-employee described 80’s music as “oldies.”
