Superior Elder Care Attorney and team
We are repeat customers of Takacs. Our first interaction with the firm happened after we moved to Hendersonville. Tim and his staff helped us move our Michigan family trust to Tennessee and we saved several hundred dollars a year not having to pay state income taxes in Tennessee. Our next experience...
"I have had the privilege of working with Tim Takacs since 2010. He is a brilliant attorney with extraordinary legal recall. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is a walking encyclopedia. His technical brilliance is matched by his insight and his ability to connect with those he serves. He is a great listener who conveys deep empathy for clients and their families. He is also a generous mentor who has had a major impact on the lives and careers of hundreds of attorneys nationwide."
