Danning Gill

What Danning Gill does

Danning, Gill, Israel & Krasnoff, LLP — operating as Danning Gill — was a boutique bankruptcy and insolvency law firm headquartered at 907 Westwood Blvd., Suite 1078, in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 1953 by Ben Danning and joined a decade later by David Gill, the firm operated for more than 70 years as one of the longest-lasting bankruptcy boutique practices in Los Angeles, providing dedicated legal representation and fiduciary services to bankruptcy trustees, debtors, and creditors involved in insolvency proceedings. The firm was organized as a limited liability partnership with a small professional staff of attorneys, paralegals, and dedicated support personnel.

The firm operated on a pure professional services revenue model, generating fees through hourly billing, flat fees, and retainer arrangements tied to individual bankruptcy and insolvency matters. Its go-to-market was relationship-driven and referral-based within the Los Angeles legal community, with no formal marketing, digital channels, or technology product surface. The firm maintained no proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI tooling; its entire value proposition rested on the specialized expertise of its attorneys and its decades-long reputation for fiduciary and legal work in bankruptcy proceedings.

Effective January 31, 2025, Danning Gill permanently closed its office, and as of February 1, 2025, the firm ceased the practice of law. The dissolution was not an acquisition or merger; former attorneys relocated to successor firms including LNBYG and Greenberg Glusker, and client file inquiries were directed to the firm's accounting email. As of the source data, the entity is no longer an operating business.
