Get Exempt. Stay Exempt.™ Pfau Englund Nonprofit Law, P.C.

Information & Legal Advice for Nonprofits

We're glad you stopped by!

We think our law firm is a little different than most because:

1) We tell you our fees up front.  Many services are provided for a flat fee. Our rule - no surprises.

2) We stand behind our work.  For nonprofit start-ups this means our flat fee rate includes responding to IRS questions about the Form 1023 or 1024 we draft for you. It's common for the IRS to ask questions before granting tax exemption. We don't just fill in the blanks.

3) We want you to call or email.  We don't charge for telephone calls or email questions about our services. We charge our clients only for the services they request, and keep our time down as much as possible. We know that you are running a nonprofit!  

Send us an email or give us a call.  Let's see if our firm is a good fit for you.

How can we assist you?
