We formed Engrav Law Office on the premise that a smaller firm would be able to  work closer with its clients in developing strategies and seeing them through to implementation.

At Engrav Law Office, we develop personal relationships and an in-depth understanding of our client’s businesses.  We help them to understand the issues and opportunities that are relevant and material to their company.

Client Testimonials

Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:

Engrav Law Office has been instrumental to our business by helping us properly structure our internal operations agreements, custom HR needs, and coordinating service agreements with external clients and their legal teams. Excellent turnaround; we highly recommended them for all your business law needs.

Liquid Lock Media

Engrav Law has far exceeded our expectations. Not only have they been exemplary when representing us, but they also take the time to answer questions that arise with our business. I strongly recommend them and look forward to doing business with Engrav Law for years to come.

Whole Body Health
Physical Therapy

Since retaining Engrav Law I have had service I’ve never experienced before from a law firm. My phone calls and emails are returned promptly. They have handled all of our issues with high importance. I never get the feeling my needs are less important than any of their other clients. We recently implemented an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and their attention to detail was so impressive. I knew nothing about ESOP’s and Greg lead me through the process one step at time and making sure I was understanding and comfortable at each step. Personal touch of a small firm yet knowledge and professionalism of a large.

LaRusso Concrete Inc.

I first started working with Greg in 2000 and continue to use him as a resource today.  At Columbia we have access to all of the big accounting and law firms and while those organizations are great at providing national level technical expertise, Greg also has a deep understanding of how to apply this technical knowledge in a practical implementable and sustainable way.  Greg has been a valuable independent resource for helping us to weigh the technical feasibility of tax projects with the operational feasibility in order to make the best decision for our business.  He has also helped us to present these findings to senior management in a way that is both highly professional but also understandable to a non-tax professional.  Over the years we have had Greg review technical conclusions, draft intercompany legal agreements, and even perform reviews of structures that we have implemented.  I would highly recommend Greg as a general tax and business advisor for a business and also for specific projects like those mentioned.
