A hallmark of our tax practice is the recognition that each tax matter requires a customized action plan for its resolution. Implementation of a failed strategy will not lead to a successful resolution. The development of a successful action plan is a process that requires a partnership between attorney and client. It also requires a candid assessment of your options by an experienced attorney who focuses solely in the area of tax law, and who can explain each option’s respective benefits and drawbacks, and any alternatives to the legal process that may be available to you.

Accordingly, all of our clients work directly with firm founder Rob Leonard. This allows him to gain a thorough understanding of your case, and to create a case strategy that fully aligns with your goals. Mr. Leonard will personally return your calls and emails, and will provide advice and updates throughout the entire process of your case. At all times, Mr. Leonard will work tirelessly to relieve the fear and anxiety which you may be experiencing during this difficult time.

Mr. Leonard receives many referrals from other professionals,

such as attorneys and accountants. These professionals understand the risks associated with tax problems, and the referral to Mr. Leonard is the recognition that their mutual clients will be well taken care of by an accomplished attorney dealing exclusively in the field of tax law.

I have known & worked with Robert Leonard for many years. Our work together has been challenging in its’ complexity and he has always risen to the occasion.

A good guy!
