Exceptional guidance through a complex estate settlement

After my father's passing, our family was faced with the daunting task of settling a complex estate involving multiple properties and a family business. We engaged Andy Krause at Taft based on a colleague's strong recommendation, and it was the best decision we could have made. Andy's deep knowledge, honed over 22 years and backed by his LL.M. in Estate Planning from the University of Miami, was immediately evident. He navigated intricate tax implications and potential family disputes with a steady, strategic hand. His recognition in Trusts and Estates and Tax Law is clearly well-earned. What truly set him apart was his ability to explain every step in clear, understandable terms, making a stressful process manageable. He was not just our attorney; he was a trusted advisor who ensured our family's legacy was protected and the transition was seamless. We achieved a far more favorable outcome than we anticipated, thanks entirely to his expertise and meticulous approach.
