Daniel Ruttenberg, JD, CPA, LLM – there are as nearly many letters after his name as there are in it. While the list of credentials is impressive, what’s really important to 14-year partner at SmolenPlevy is what he learned achieving them. It’s to approach his clients’ legal needs from multiple angles. “Most people who refer business to me think of me as a high level tax attorney,” explains Ruttenberg, whose practice areas include tax planning for business, general corporate law, estate planning and estate administration. “Taxes often drive the planning I do with clients, but by no means are they the only factor to consider. There’s family and business politics, cash flow needs, risk tolerance, creditor protection issues and incapacity concerns. The list goes on and on. It’s my job to craft solutions based on those many issues.
