Expert guidance for our family business succession plan

When our family began planning the transition of our multi-generational manufacturing business, we needed counsel that understood both the intricate tax implications and the delicate family dynamics. David Merline was recommended for his expertise in closely held companies, and the recommendation was spot on. His dual background in tax law and business organizations proved invaluable. He didn't just draft documents; he guided us through a comprehensive strategy that minimized our tax burden while ensuring the business's legacy. His recent recognition in the field is clearly well-deserved. Throughout the 14-month process, David was patient, exceptionally clear in his explanations, and always responsive. The final outcome provided our family with tremendous peace of mind and a solid, tax-efficient structure for the future. We are profoundly grateful for his skillful and professional handling of such a critical matter.
