Excellent Attorney

Jeff has helped with both my business and personal taxes for over 10 years now and I couldn't be happier with the results he has achieved for me.

Extremely knowledgeable about tax law.

Attorney Jeffrey Burzawa is excellent when dealing with tax laws and preparation of family and individual tax returns. I have been a client of Jeff's for over 25 years and his advice and professionalism are outstanding!

Settling my Parents estate

Jeff did an outstanding job planning and settling my parents estates. His insight into will preparation allowed our family to save thousands of dollars in taxes. Unlike others in his industry he responds promptly to questions and has the work done on a timely basis. He is the rare attorney who bl...ends business sense, common sense and a sense of humor with the law. I highly recommend him!

Level headed approach

We sought assistance with Jeff to help us with a complicated estate. His expertise was superb and he kept things moving at a steady pace; his guidance was assuring to us and calming, when 'situations' arose. We have since used him for wills, a property transfer and our taxes. His knowledge of the t...ax code has helped reduce our tax situation! We have only worked with Jeff over the past four years, but felt comfortable with him from the first meeting.

The Best and Only Tax Attorney You Will Ever Need

Jeff came highly recommended to me from another local attorney. His professional manner and expert knowledge of intricate tax laws proved invaluable for helping me out of a tough bind with the IRS. Jeff's fees were reasonable for all of the work he did for me, and his ability to communicate complic...ated issues to me in simple terms was much appreciated. Without question, if you need tax help, Jeff is the lawyer you need to call.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
