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!

Great new business owner advise and tax preparer

Jeff is very knowledgeable about the tax laws and provided me with sound advice as to how to set up my company (sole proprietor vs LLC) that put me and my finances in the best position for taxes. Jeff has been preparing out taxes for almost 20 years and proactively contacts me throughout the year fo...r YTD pay so he can predict and prepare for a change in tax rate.
