Ms. Genzler brings the same attention to detail from her tax practice to estate planning, helping clients create documents that reflect their actual circumstances and hold up when they're needed most.
Starting or running a business shouldn't mean guessing at legal requirements or hoping a contract you found online covers you. I help entrepreneurs and small business owners build on solid legal ground, from day one through the inevitable bumps along the way.
I assist with business formation and structure, choosing and setting up the right entity, whether LLC, corporation, or nonprofit, with an eye toward the tax and liability tradeoffs of each.
I also draft and review contracts, including vendor, independent contractor, service, and partnership agreements, written in plain language to protect your interests.
For those facing overwhelming debt, I also provide debt relief and bankruptcy services, including Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings.
Whether you're launching a venture or facing financial hardship, I bring the same standard of care to every matter: careful, honest, and grounded in your actual circumstances.
About Zoe Genzler
Genzler Tax & Legal was built on a simple idea: everyone deserves a tax and legal advisor who understands their life, not just their paperwork. I work with individuals, families, and small business owners to make sense of taxes, plan for what's ahead, and get straight answers without judgment.
Zoe Genzler, J.D., LL.M. (Taxation)
Attorney at Law
I'm a Wisconsin-licensed attorney with a Master of Laws in Taxation and more than a decade of hands-on tax preparation and compliance experience. I've prepared and reviewed federal and state tax filings for individuals, independent contractors, partnerships, LLCs, corporations, and tax-exempt organizations, and I've helped clients resolve back taxes with the IRS and state revenue departments, reducing penalties where possible and bringing past filings into compliance.
I understand the tax questions working-class families, independent contractors, and small business owners actually face, including the added complexity many LGBTQ+ individuals and families encounter.
I also help individuals and families of all kinds plan for the future through estate planning: wills, powers of attorney, and related documents built around your actual circumstances, whether that means a traditional family or a chosen one. Because I bring the same tax-informed perspective to estate planning, I can make sure the documents you sign today and the returns you file tomorrow work together instead of against each other.
My approach is personal, because tax and legal problems are personal. I promise you careful, honest, and grounded advice.
