Lugenbuhl recognizes that tax planning and tax litigation are two very separate practices. Whether you or your business are in a planning or restructuring stage or, need help with tax litigation, our attorneys work directly with CPAs and financial advisors to determine the best outcome for the client’s individual or business goals. Our knowledge of Federal, Louisiana, and local tax laws allows us to guide clients through all aspects of tax planning and litigation.
