Taxation

Attorney Lonnie L. Simmons has thirty-nine years of experience handling federal tax matters and working with his clients to navigate the complexity of the federal tax code. Drawing on his knowledge and experience as a Certified Public Accountant, he has represented both individuals and corporate clients in most facets of federal taxation. His tax planning and consulting practice regularly helps clients consider the tax implications of complex transactions to implement their business strategies. He provides tax planning and sound legal advice to corporations, LLCs, partnerships, and other business entities, helping them to minimize the tax consequences of routine business transactions, such as the purchase or sale of a significant asset, commercial real estate purchase or lease, and employee compensation plans. He proactively looks for opportunities to improve the tax consequences of each transaction, including the merger of entities, business acquisitions, corporate reorganizations, and investment transactions. Attorney Simmons also serves as special tax counsel in cases which require additional expertise related to federal tax law or which involve unusually complex transactions or novel tax issues. In addition, his tax return preparation practice is open to all clients, with a special emphasis on estate tax returns and income tax returns for corporations, LLCs, partnerships, estates and trusts, and individuals.
