Consider all taxes in any deal or lawsuit
Nearly every legal situation involves either sales taxes,  income taxes, property taxes, and /or estate taxes.  Aside from doing the basic legal work regardless of whether it is a business, real estate, estate planning or other type of situation, we consider the taxes and advise on the tax effects.  While considering the taxes is important, our motto is to “not let the tax tail wag the economic dog”!
