Summary

Tax attorney Robert Hoffman handles both domestic and international tax matters. He specializes in estate tax planning, income tax planning, and general tax litigation, and provides experienced legal representation for both closely held corporations and individuals, including high net worth and high income families.

As an attorney who specializes in estate tax planning, Robert has extensive experience assisting clients with legal matters ranging from the preparation of wills and trusts to advanced healthcare directives and powers of attorney.  For those who wish to provide a legacy of future financial support for disabled relatives, Robert can facilitate the creation of a robust special needs trust to keep your loved ones comfortable and secure.

In addition to working closely with families, couples, and individuals, Robert routinely consults with business owners and employers to protect their best financial interests, providing respected legal guidance in matters of formation and dissolution, entity structure selection, hiring and employment practices, and the creation and maintenance of nonprofits, including 501(c)(3) organizations.

Outside of his legal practice as a Los Angeles tax lawyer, Robert is an active member of his community.
