Renick Law Group, PLLC specializes in family law, estate planning, probate, and tax conflict.

I've hired attorneys in the past and these experiences have left an impression on me. At Renick Law Group, PLLC, I take a personalized approach to each case, ensuring that the client's needs and concerns are always the top priority.

Each case is unique and requires a different approach to get resolved. We don't have cookie-cutter pricing. Renick Law Group, PLLC offers competitive pricing for legal services, and provides transparent billing to clients. Fees and payment arrangements are discussed and agreed upon before any work is done. 

Yes. Because IRS matters are governed by federal law, I can represent clients from any state in resolving federal tax issues such as audits, notices, collections, or appeals. I am a licensed attorney in Washington State and authorized to practice before the IRS under Circular 230, which allows attorneys in good standing to handle federal tax matters nationwide.

However, if your issue involves state tax law — such as a dispute with the Minnesota Department of Revenue or other state-specific tax rules — that would require a Minnesota-licensed attorney. In those cases, I can coordinate with local counsel if needed.

The minimum waiting period in Washington is 90 days, but the actual timeline depends on whether your case is agreed or contested. Complex issues involving custody, property division, or support can extend the process. I guide clients through each step efficiently and help avoid unnecessary delays.

You should review your plan every 3–5 years or after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or significant financial changes. I help clients maintain their plans over time, ensuring they stay accurate and effective.

It depends on how your assets are titled and their total value. Proper estate preparation can often minimize or avoid probate. I can review your plan and help structure your estate to reduce complications for your loved ones.

Absolutely. Feel free to schedule a consultation. If I'm unable to help you, I will refer you to another attorney who can. I have a large network of other attorneys, who practice in different areas of law, who may be able to help.
