A Master Strategist for Complex Estate and Tax Planning

After decades of building a successful family business in Colorado, my siblings and I faced the daunting task of navigating a complex estate transition while minimizing the significant tax burden. We engaged Samuel Levy of Greenberg Traurig, and it was the best decision we could have made. Mr. Levy’s 54 years of experience were immediately evident. He didn't just draft documents; he architectured a comprehensive strategy that integrated tax planning, real estate holdings, and corporate structure into a seamless succession plan. His deep focus on trusts and estates, coupled with his recognized expertise in tax law, was precisely what our situation required. He patiently explained every nuance, from the implications of Colorado probate law to sophisticated real estate syndication considerations related to our commercial properties. Mr. Levy’s approach is both profoundly knowledgeable and genuinely personal. He treated our family’s legacy with the utmost respect and care. The outcome was a robust plan that provides clarity, security, and remarkable tax efficiency for the next generation. For anyone in Denver with intricate business and estate planning needs, Samuel Levy is an invaluable resource.
