Attorneys are not accountants, nor are they tax attorneys.
If you have a significant estate or perhaps concerns about capital gains or are worried about a dependent spouse or child who requires long-term financial assistance, educate yourself on the benefits of a financial planner, who can work hand-in-hand with the attorneys on the case to make sure that assets are maximized and taxes are minimized.
