About Jeramie
Biography
I am an attorney based in Austin, Texas. I focus my practice on meeting the legal needs of business owners and real estate owners and investors.
My business planning practice involves advising companies and individuals on business matters, including taxation, mergers and acquisitions, choice of entity and company formation, and corporate governance. I have also been lead attorney on several multi-million dollar business acquisitions in the Southeast.
My estate planning practice involves maximum use of federal credits and preservation of wealth through the use of trusts, partnerships, closely held businesses, private foundations, and charitable trusts. I have served in various capacities with the Real Property, Trust & Estate Section of the American Bar Association.
My real estate practice involves preparing real estate transfer documents quickly and efficiently. Through the use of document automation to streamline the deed preparation workflow and lower cost, my firm has prepared over 7,000 deeds for individuals, businesses, and governmental agencies throughout the United States.
