Estate Planning 35%

It is a natural progression for business owners whom we are advising about business planning,financing, and succession, to request assistance with their family estate plan. Many of the issues we address in an estate plan affect businesses and business owners. In some sense, our estate planning completes the picture for individuals seeking to address wealth transfer, tax, and health issues, together with asset protection and insurance matters.

A great all around Business Lawyer

I have known Bryan for over 10 years. He is an ethical and savvy attorney that knows much about business and real estate matters. I have had many occasions where I received valuable advice from Bryan during the course of my real estate sales career. He recently helped me when I sat down and consulted... with him regarding tenants rights regarding refunding a security deposit. His information was invaluable in helping me get this issue resolved. He has always treated me with respect and his advice has always been accurate and practical. Bryan has a keen knowledge of business and real estate matters and can pin point issues and he offers very understandable and cost effective solutions. I would recommend Bryan for any business or real estate issue without reservation.

Appears to listen and care about your needs

Mr. Gianesin sat with me one and one and went over my issues. When talking with him about a sensative subject, I knew he was listening and that our conversation would stay confidential. He was very knowledgeable and the information he gave me made sense. I would recommend Mr. Gianesin as an attorney ...to any of my friends/family.
