Ryder & Associates handles a wide variety of comparatively simple as well as extremely complicated tax matters for individuals and small businesses. Complete compilation of such matters would be too voluminous for a website. Below is a representative sample of types of matters commonly encountered in tax representation. But just because your particular issue may not be listed doesn’t mean we can’t handle it professionally.
Considering the thousands of cases negotiated in the last fourteen years, it would be unrealistic, if not impossible, to categorize them all. However, we apply a standard of excellence to each and every case to obtain the best possible results. Of course, nothing is guaranteed as outcome depends primarily on facts and circumstances of each case. But we can guarantee that your case will be handled by a skilled and competent attorney properly supervised to maximize potential for positive case resolution and client satisfaction.
