Avoid procrastination

The #1 reason dreams are derailed.

Fortunes have been lost by people who endlessly put off getting their affairs in order.

Sometimes professionals can fix the consequences of procrastinating. Often we can't.

Procrastination is your enemies' best friend:

• the tax collector
• the grim reaper
• the university bursar
• the nursing home
• the hospital
• lawsuits
• A divorce in the family
• Outliving your savings

You can protect yourself against all of these people, but you can't wait forever. None of us know exactly when we'll fall seriously ill, become disabled or pass on.

The sooner you take action, the easier it is to protect yourself.

Shall we take the next step?

How the Herbst Approach is different — and better

I want to be your trusted attorney. I've represented clients for decades. I've seen them succeed in life and meet their objectives. You will find very few tax or other lawyers who take this coordinated, comprehensive approach to helping you and your business achieve success:

• Simply put, I'll solve your tax problem, file and keep your taxes under control, and help you plan for The Good Life!
• As a licensed attorney, what you tell me is privileged and kept confidential. My job is to be your advocate. As a lawyer, not only can I prepare your tax return, I can represent you, draft wills, trusts, documents, deeds, and other instruments that other advisors aren't allowed to.
• I combine those capabilities with a sound knowledge of tax law to both minimize your tax liabilities and keep the focus on enjoying The Good Life.
• I'll work with whomever you want me to, but I'll spare you the unwanted extra advisors, consultants, soothsayers, and pushy salespeople, who only put a strain on your budget.

I think that you'll find my rates quite reasonable compared to some of the alternatives out there.
