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.

When only "the best" will do.

Bill is a no nonsense tax attorney and got to the heart of my issues and meticulously laid out a plan for dealing with the IRS in the most efficient way. Before being referred to Bill, I was working with another tax lawyer who seemed more interested in telling me how great he was and then having me ...fill out form after form and then charging me for it. Dealing with the IRS is very stressful. Bill assured me I was not the only person with the issues I had and calmed me down and always gave me a light at the end of the tunnel. Finally, Bill's ethics are of the highest caliber. He made sure everything was properly and truthfully disclosed - the only way I know how to do things, myself. When seeking a referral for a tax attorney, I had heard horror stories about some others in the field. Bill came highly recommended from a well-credentialed member of the State Bar's tax law committee. Without hesitation, I would use him again - I hope I never have to - and I would, without hesitation, recommend him to anyone in need of "the best" tax attorney in the State. When he was done with my matter, he also referred me to a top-notch accountant who he feels was just the right one for me to make sure I didn't need his help again.

William Marutzky

Bill Marutzky has not only a wealth of knowledge, but is also extremely intelligent, and knows the system inside and out. Bill is highly respected among other attorneys, and many times they come to him for advice and then hire him. He treats his clients with such care, as if they were his own family ...member. One could not ask for better representation.

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.
