Recommendation of Atty Gary Schwarcz
Gary has been a tremendous help to our investment group in the LLC setup and structure. He has also been an used as an advisor in our Public Accounting Firm and assisted us in Partnership Tax Law/Compliance/Tax Return preparation. He has a very strong skill set relative to Partnership/LLC Taxation in planning and structure. Gary has the ability to to apply the Tax Law to practice/application and not just theory, this is not common for many attorneys we have worked with.

Gary Schwarcz: He's really the very best!
I've worked with many attorneys during multiple business and real estate dealings with other companies, and I've ALWAYS been glad Gary Schwarcz was on MY side. I've never seen a better business and real estate negotiator. He is tough when necessary, and sincerely sensitive when that is required to get the job done. I've never seen another attorney who knows the law better than Gary, regardless of the firm or client they represent. If a matter is outside of his area of expertise, he VERY quickly puts you in touch with other top resources. Expert indeed! He is extremely professional, extremely knowledgeable, very personable, highly commendable and highly recommendable.

Trust Planning
Mr. Schwarcz was extremely helpful to my wife and I in setting up a family trust. We were not at all familiar with the process and he spent the time to patiently walk us through all the decisions that we needed to make and the process to move forward. He took care of all of the details and made the process as smooth as possible.
