Clients
Our clientele encompasses individuals, estates, small businesses, and non-profit corporations. We serve numerous and varied clients in tax, estate planning, and general business matters.
Philosophy
Our business philosophy is to provide prompt and excellent service and advice to our clients. We handle small matters with the same diligence devoted to large and complex ones. Our goal is to meet our clients’ needs and maintain harmony in the client’s family or business. Unlike most firms, we do not litigate. Our only interaction with the court system is in the process of probating an estate and occasionally serving as an expert witness in a tax-related matter.
Fees
Depending on the type of work to be done, we offer flat fee, billing within a range, or hourly billing. When billing time we do so in increments of a quarter hour. We provide a monthly bill for work performed during the prior month and expect payment at that time, unless other arrangements have been previously made.
