Why would you want to work for us?
For the right candidate, we not only offer a job, but a bonafide career. Our office and team provide a fun and fulfilling work environment. The salary and benefits are competitive with room for advancement. Your primary contact, Matt Schwartz, is an excellent estate attorney who knows his stuff backwards and forwards, enjoys a great reputation and is happy to share that knowledge. Our other estate attorney, Karen Mathias, is extremely competent and a joy to work with as well. Jim Lange, the owner of our three firms, will not likely be involved in your day to day work as Jim spends much of his time attracting and meeting with clients.
You would also have the pleasure of working with a group that we believe provide the best services available in the tax/financial/estate planning arena. Our law firm offers what we believe is the best estate plan there is for traditional families: Lange’s Cascading Beneficiary Plan™. If you don’t believe us, you may believe some of the people who have given Jim’s bestselling book, Retire Secure!, (Wiley, 2006, 2009 and 2015) glowing testimonials: Charles Schwab, Jane Bryant Quinn, Larry King, Roger Ibbotson, Burton Malkiel, and dozens more. The following nationally known estate attorneys also gave our books glowing testimonials: Natalie Choate, Michael Palermo, Martin Shenkman, Gary Lesser and Steve Leimberg.
Our strategies have been quoted (with attribution) 33 times in The Wall Street Journal.
Our Roth IRA conversion strategies are the best in the industry. Jim’s other bestselling book, The Roth Revolution, also received the highest praise from top IRA experts and attorneys. Jim is also the author of several mini books, the most recent book being titled The Ultimate Retirement and Estate Plan for Your Million-Dollar IRA: Including How to Protect Your Nest Egg from the Pending “Death of the Stretch IRA” Legislation. These books clearly demonstrate that our office is on the cutting edge of planning for IRA owners.
Over the years, we have earned a reputation for being extremely ethical and have had stellar client satisfaction and retention.
