I have a diverse background and experience in business, real estate, estate planning, and taxation, and my prior experience as a CPA, I am able to skillfully handle small, medium and large matters in a way unlike most other attorneys in Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert, Glendale, Paradise Valley, Peoria, Chandler, Queen Creek, Cave Creek, Surprise and other communities throughout Arizona. For example, in larger firms, clients will often work with two attorneys on a business matter. The first attorney is usually a general corporate attorney, the second is an attorney experienced in tax matters. Thus, the client is forced to use two attorneys to review the same document, most likely at billing rates higher than that of a smaller firm. This inefficiency drives up the cost to the client. Since my background includes both corporate law and taxation, the client pays for one review instead of two.
I continue to maintain my CPA license in Washington State, and I have a great deal of experience working with finances, taxes and business planning. My clients know me as an attorney who provides them with legal advice on their potential liability exposures as well as the tax ramifications of their decisions. You can count on me to provide honest feedback and clear communication regarding your options, the challenges you may face, and advice on the best course of action.
Oenning Law Office, PLLC also maintains a twenty-four business hour call back policy for all clients. Generally, once you become a client of Oenning Law Office, PLLC, I will return your phone call within twenty-four business hours. I am aware of the fact that no one calls their attorney unless there is a pressing matter that needs attention.
After spending most of my legal career in large law firms, I, attorney Brent J. Oenning, founded Oenning Law Office, PLLC, in Scottsdale, Arizona in December 2009, with the goal of using my large firm experience within a small firm to provide personalized, responsive, and cost-effective legal and tax services as a Scottsdale business attorney. My Scottsdale based firm is dedicated to providing legal and tax services at the highest level so that clients can make informed business and personal decisions.
Many business attorneys approach business and planning issues only from a liability standpoint. However, when most clients are faced with life-changing decisions, they want to know how those decisions will also impact them from a tax standpoint. If they are incorrectly advised or using business attorneys without tax backgrounds, thereby potentially neglecting the tax issues, their decisions could end up costing them a great deal of money. My dual background in tax accounting and law gives me the necessary tools to advise and educate my clients on both the potential liabilities and the tax implications of their decisions. Prior to practicing law in Arizona, I was a practicing Certified Public Accountant in the State of Washington.
