Legal & Tax/Small Business Acquisitions

as a small community-oriented investment fund, we engaged Suzanne to help us with the acquisition of a key local business. along the way we discovered we needed to make major adjustments to our tax & legal status. Suzanne guided us through on both counts... and has helped us with a number of knock-...on issues. We'd recommend her without hesitation.

Great help with 501c3 filing

Suzanne helped my organization file our 501c3 documentation to transition a for-profit business into a 501c3 nonprofit. This was a very messy, drawn out process, involving several former owners who were at odds throughout. Suzanne's expertise and guidance helped us file an application with a minimum ...of difficulties, and, based on the application she prepared for us, we were ultimately granted status as a 501c3. From talking to colleagues who had been through similar experiences, I had been prepared for the worst; Suzanne made a very complicated process fairly straightforward, and she helped me understand my options as we moved through the application process. I was pleasantly surprised how well everything went, given how many moving pieces were involved and how daunting the prospects seemed at the start.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
