About the Practice
A practical working relationship
Initial contact is with the Client Intake Team. If a local practice and lawyer are the right fit, the engagement and its scope are confirmed before legal advice begins.
Washington Legal Landscape
Washington is one of only a few states that imposes its own estate tax, with exemptions and rates set under RCW 83.100. Estates exceeding the state exemption threshold face graduated rates up to 20%. Our Issaquah lawyers help clients structure plans using bypass trusts, qualified terminable interest property (QTIP) trusts, and strategic gifting to minimize Washington estate tax exposure while ensuring comprehensive asset protection.
Washington's Secretary of State oversees business entity filings. The state's robust tech economy and absence of a personal income tax make it attractive for business formation. Our Issaquah lawyers guide founders through LLC formation under the Washington Uniform Limited Liability Company Act (RCW 25.15), corporation formation, and compliance with Washington's Business & Occupation (B&O) tax requirements.
Washington has no personal income tax but imposes a Business & Occupation (B&O) tax and a capital gains tax on certain high-value transactions (RCW 82.87). Our Issaquah lawyers help clients navigate these obligations while leveraging Washington's favorable tax environment for wealth preservation through trusts, charitable planning, and multi-generational transfer strategies.
