Nonprofit Law:

Our attorneys are dedicated to growing your idea. We share our clients’ commitment and dedication to charitable causes and will strongly advocate your position to the Internal Revenue Service. Local, state and federal legal requirements for tax exempt organizations are extremely complex and time sensitive. The requirements are different in some aspects from those of for profit entities. Our attorneys have considerable experience working with nonprofit organizations and governmental entities. Our attorneys currently serve as board members and directors of various nonprofit organizations and have considerable experience working in local, state and federal government.

From the filing of the Articles of Incorporation, to receipt of an IRS determination letter, our attorneys will review, draft, advocate, appeal, and communicate at each step in the process of filing for 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.
