Client-Focused Attorney Serving Tacoma, Washington

Tax Representation | Estate Planning | Criminal Defense

When your legal problems intersect with your tax problems, you want to know you have the help of someone who understands tax laws. Some law firms may be content to pass their cases onto paralegals, legal secretaries and other attorneys. This is not the case at The Law Office of Andrew J. Makar, P.S.

My law practice is defined by personal relationships with my clients. I sit down and discuss your issue, explaining the complexities and describing your options. My goal is to ensure you fully understand the decisions you make before you make them.

To arrange a consultation with me, attorney Andrew J. Makar, call 253-926-0202.
