Lawyer-led, start to finish support with clear scope and pricing. No extra or surprise fees, period.
I help founders, boards, and existing organizations form nonprofit entities and pursue federal tax-exempt recognition. The focus is practical: set the organization up correctly, document governance properly, and prepare an exemption application that matches the organization’s real activities.

I work with a wide range of organizations and classifications, including public charities, private foundations, religious organizations, social clubs, political committees, political action committees, and other exempt organizations, as well as mission-driven entities that require careful structuring. I also work with schools, professional organizations, volunteer organizations, and membership-based organizations.
I am admitted in New York and New Jersey. I work with organizations nationwide, and I can coordinate with counsel and other professionals in additional U.S. jurisdictions as appropriate. Where matters involve national or international operations, affiliates, or cross-border relationships, I can help identify, anticipate, and address governance, compliance, and coordination issues that commonly arise.
Scope varies based on the organization’s needs, jurisdictions involved, and regulatory requirements.
Engagements are scoped in advance and confirmed in a written engagement agreement. Pricing is clear, agreed upon before work begins, and does not include surprise or add-on fees. In many matters, pricing starts as low as $1,500. Final pricing depends on entity type, operational scope, jurisdictions involved, and required filing fees, which vary by state and by the applicable federal exemption application.
