I have been practicing tax and business law in Grand Rapids since 1983. My wife – who has a successful family law practice – and I have raised our family in Grand Rapids, and we are active members of our community. My entire legal career has been in Grand Rapids, and I anticipate spending the rest of my legal career here, as well. Most clients are looking for lawyers who can help develop practical solutions to their business and legal problems. I make a commitment to understanding the various, underlying business problems my clients face, and then use my legal, problem solving, consensus-building and counseling skills to help them develop practical solutions. This is a fundamental component of the philosophy I use to practice law. I represent family businesses and business entrepreneurs on a ‘cradle-to-grave’ basis. I form business entities and then help them solve their problems along the way, such as dealing with employment, contract, real estate, tax and regulatory issues. I also help clients develop the business systems needed to make a business run smoothly. I draft buy and sell agreements, form agreements between shareholders and create agreements for the sale and purchase of businesses. These matters are milestone events for any business, and a successful business lawyer needs to be adept at dealing with all of them.As a result of our extensive work together, I develop close, personal relationships with my clients. This often leads to estate planning and estate tax planning using wills, trusts and other related documents. The bottom line: I believe my experience in all these various aspects of business and tax law puts me in a unique position to develop comprehensive business planning and consulting solutions for my clients.Specialties: Areas of Practice:Business and Corporate law Commercial lawBusiness Planning and Development Mergers and Aquisitions Purchase and Sale of Businesses Succession Planning Taxpayer Representation and Litigation Tax Planning and Analysis Estate Planning, Probate and Trust Administration
