Extremely knowledgeable, experienced and gracious legal practitioner.

Mr. Marutzky, or as I know him – Bill, is a consummate professional attorney. His expertise is great and his knowledge encompasses almost all facets of the legal issues he so well solves. I have seen him volunteer at legal clinics as a pro bono attorney to help people under financial duress, and he ...has addressed matters for individuals and corporations that enter into another stratosphere of understanding. Bill knows and understands the various tax and legal codes that prevent other lawyers bringing a case to a close. Mr. Marutzky is highly recommended. He has earned high regard from his peers and great respect from the bench. You should have no reservations in hiring this man to represent you and in him finding a solution for your problem.

Excellent tax and financial assistance

I worked with Mr. Marutzky to assist with tax and financial problems I was experiencing. He provided excellent assistance and guidance in resolving my problems with the IRS and also on dealing with a personal bankruptcy. He is an extremely knowledgeable attorney having compassion and also a terrifi...c personality.

business formation and family trust

In the process of starting a new business, I realized that I needed to incorporate trusts to hold certain assets from the sale of my last business. My will was out of date and Bill was thoughtful enough to ask whether it needed refreshing. I had spoken with a local estate planning attorney who was n...ot as creative or thorough, did not recognize several of the issues which Bill brought up, and was too busy to explain why he made the structure suggestions that he did. I'm glad I called Bill, and was lucky to find that he understands liability protection offered in the various states in which I will be doing business. In addition to giving me a path to protect my assets, he was able to advise me on the various tax ramifications of using a limited liability company rather than a subchapter S corporation which would have been a disaster for me I if I had followed the other attorney's advice.

A great and trustworthy tax attorney

I last retained Mr. Marutzky in March of this year to assist me with tax problems that I was facing. I retained Mr. Marutzky in light of the fact that he has represented me off and on for the past six years for similar tax issues. His knowledge of the tax code is tremendous. In retaining Mr. Marutzky... I have been able to take advantage of several tax reducing benefits that I did not know existed. Because of the ease of which I was able to work with Mr. Marutzky I will be able to retain him for any future problems I may have with any state or federal taxes.

It's never too late

Mr. Marutzky represented me some 21 years ago. My move from IL prompted sorting through documents, that is keepers and those to dispose. Mr. Marutzky did a marvelous job, in and out of the courtroom; to include his preparation of the appeal phase. Needless to say, we (he) won the case involving a ...firearm. Mr. Marutzky disarmed the prosecution as well as the judge. Upon learning that I was a disabled Viet Nam Era Veteran his fee was non-existent. This is a "lawyer worth his weight in gold." I can't say enough without getting "mushy", however in a pecuniary, mercenary world, Mr. Marutzky loves the law and his first love is its practice. Thanks is a word used much too often, however, no other word comes to mind.
