If you need business law, tax law

on minimizing estate and gift taxes
and probate fees.
I've been certified as a tax law
specialist by the State Bar of California,
Board of Legal Specialization, and
have an LL.M. (Masters of Law) degree
in taxation from the University
of San Diego School of Law, Graduate
Tax Program. I provide the highest

I will personally handle every aspect
of your case from start to finish.
I can provide you with fast, knowledgeable
help you on all of these problems:
• BUSINESS LAW
I provide expert California
business tax and legal help. I can
help you through:
- Tax planning to give your business
the legal form (corporation, LLC,
partnership, limited partnership,
professional corporation) that
will best protect your assets,
save you the most tax dollars,
and provide limited liability.
- Handling your incorporation,
formation of LLC, partnership,
business law regulatory and licensing
compliance.
- Providing sound legal advice
and services for payroll tax issues,
payroll, accounting, operating
problems and corporate liquidation
and winding-up.
- Reviewing and drafting business
contracts, including LLC operating
agreements, buy-sell agreements,
independent contractor agreements,
confidentiality agreements and
employment agreements.
- Keeping your corporation in
compliance with law by ensuring
annual shareholder meetings are
held and minutes properly recorded

key employees including employee
stock option plans and addressing
the estate planning needs of owners
and key employees.
- Representing your business at
trial in any business lawsuit,
including unfair competition,
fraud, misrepresentation, contract
disputes, and other business disagreements.
• IRS TAX HELP
I provide IRS tax help to individual
taxpayers and businesses suffering
from IRS tax problems. IRS problems
include IRS tax levy, tax lien,
payroll tax problems, 941 payroll
tax penalties, offer in compromise,
tax evasion, innocent spouse relief,
IRS audit, criminal tax, evasion
or other IRS tax problems. I am
experienced in obtaining fast resolution
for most cases through negotiation
with the IRS, FTB, and SBE. If I
am unable to settle a tax case,
I have the experience, resources
and tenacity to take your tax case
through trial and appeal.
• CALIFORNIA STATE
TAXES
I also solve California tax problems
by providing California tax help to
taxpayers under audit or collection
for income tax, sales tax, or use
tax by the California Franchise Tax
Board (FTB), California State Board
of Equalization (SBE) and /or the
Employment Development Department
(EDD).
• TAX-EXEMPT NON-PROFIT
CORPORATIONS
If you have a non-profit foundation
or association, I can help your organization
seek a tax-exempt status by forming
a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
This will help protect the organizers
from personal liability for the organization's
activities and is a necessary step
for tax-exempt status. I will also
prepare bylaws for receiving and administering
donations and indemnifying founders
and employees from claims and lawsuits;
the bylaws will include provisions
necessary for tax-exempt status. Finally,
I will file for the best IRS tax-exempt
status for which your organization
qualifies.
• ESTATE PLANNING
& LIVING TRUSTS
I am uniquely qualified to prepare
an integrated estate plan for you.
This generally includes a living
trust, will, living will, power
of attorney, health care power of
attorney and probate and trust administration
services. I take pride in tackling
difficult estate planning issues
to provide you with complete peace
of mind. I can help ensure that
your children will be cared for
by the persons you choose. Your
living trusts, carefully tailored
to your needs, will allow you to
avoid costly probate proceedings.
I also follow through to ensure
that your trust is properly funded
and that your beneficiary designations
are coordinated with your estate
plan.
