Taxation

tax_lawWhether a state or federal tax return has been selected for audit, or estate or business planning is involved, the expertise of an experienced tax lawyer is often needed. Our law firm is well equipped to meet these needs.

We can provide effective counsel and guidance on matters involving tax planning, including estate, charitable giving and business succession planning, as well as on post-death strategies to minimize estate and income taxes.

While our mission is to provide our clients with proactive advice and representation to avoid future tax problems and audits, we also advise and represent clients who have found themselves faced with an income tax or estate tax audit. Our collaborative approach to representing our clients involves consultation with our clients’ advisors and working with other attorneys in our firm in order to devise the most cost effective strategy to resolve their planning needs and address the legal challenges raised on tax audits and controversies.

The matters in which we have been able to provide our clients with knowledgeable and effective advice and solutions for minimizing income and estate taxes include:

  • Minimizing Estate and Gift taxes through Estate Planning
  • Post-death Tax Strategies to Minimize Estate Taxes
  • Business Formation Planning
  • Business Planning on Dissolution and Sale of Business
  • Nonprofit Organizations – Tax Exemption and Compliance Issues
  • Estate and Income Tax Audits
