Taxes, unfortunately, are an inevitable part of both our business and family life. Our Taxation Group can help make the tax process more predictable and less stressful. We assist businesses, tax-exempt organizations and individuals with a wide variety of federal and state tax law matters.

Virtually every business faces tax-driven issues. DARS advises business clients at every stage of their life-cycle, from formation to dissolution. Our attorneys also counsel clients on tax-driven strategies, including tax-free reorganizations, restricted stock plans, incentive stock option plans, tax-free exchanges, and plans of liquidation.

Our estate planning attorneys assist clients in preserving family wealth with practical estate and business succession planning strategies. Often, relatively simple planning can save a family a substantial amount in estate taxes.

We represent non-profit clients in every stage of legal development, including formation, preparation of governing documents, and obtaining tax-exempt status.

The firm also assists business clients with various state tax issues, including sales and use tax, personal property tax, and transfer and recordation tax.

We also represent clients in federal and state tax disputes and litigation, including tax appeals, and offers and compromise.
