Tax Planning Assistance

Our tax planning services are designed to address issues related to estate planning and probate as well as business transactions. To legally minimize your financial loss due to tax payments, our staff closely examines your specific situation to search for means to limit your tax liability, whether it be through the creation of a trust or through proper entity selection during business formation.

We are often able to assist in the reduction of tax related expenses during the estate planning process by favorably structuring estate, gift, and generation skipping taxes.

For business, we can help you manage tax liability on compensation to your employees, saving you much needed capital to be deployed elsewhere.

Tax Litigation

In addition to our tax planning services, our staff is highly knowledgeable in addressing IRS audits and disputes. We have seen a rise in audits, as the tough economic climate has prompted the government to take steps to maximize tax revenue. If you have received a notice of an audit or are currently being audited, speak to an attorney promptly.

Contact our office to discuss your specific tax planning or litigation needs today.
