Ronald J. Cappuccio, J.D., LL.M.(Tax), business and tax attorney, has more than 30 years of tax and business law experience. Our firm helps form businesses and helps you grow and increase the profitability of your business. We will not let the IRS and state government prevent you from being successful.

As a lawyer since 1976, admitted to practice before NJ State and Federal Courts, including the US Tax Court and the Court of Federal Claims, I have helped clients from around the U.S. as well as multi-national clients.

I have dedicated my life to agitating people - especially the IRS and government functionaries. I have never worked for the IRS and therefore I do not have to worry about them as former colleagues. Fighting the government so you can keep your money is just plain fun for me!
