Jonathan is committed to providing professional legal counsel. He will personally attend to any legal matter for which he is retained and will clearly state the bases upon which he is retained, including the scope of engagement and the amount of his legal fee.
He is licensed to practice law in the State of Maryland and in the District of Columbia. However, for federal tax matters, his firm can represent individual and institutional clients anywhere in the United States and can work cooperatively with local professionals in structuring charitable gift plans or creating charitable entities across the country.
This firm's practice is centered in several interrelated areas:
assisting nonprofit organizations with the legal aspects of
their creation, qualification, governance and operation,
enhancing the fundraising efforts of charitable organizations,
and assisting charities in accepting gifts of sophisticated
assets or through sophisticated gift planning vehicles,
structuring and implementing charitable gift plans on behalf
of donors and their families,
assisting families in structuring their estate plans for federal
and state tax and non-tax purposes, including the creation
of Wills, trusts, economic powers of attorney and
heath care directives,
assisting families in dealing with the estate administration
process when a family member has passed, and
assisting business owners in the creation, governance, and
succession planning of their businesses, and in the sale
or purchase of assets, stock or other interests in their
businesses.
