Welcome

More than a tax office

Zapalski Tax and Accounting is the taxation and accounting practice of Zapalski Law. Since 2002, clients have trusted us with their returns, their books, and their most difficult tax problems — because behind every engagement stands a Florida attorney with an LL.M. and a Doctor of Business Administration.

That means your tax planning is informed by the law, your books are kept with an eye toward compliance, and if the IRS ever comes calling, your preparer can also be your advocate.

The Difference

Why an attorney-led tax practice?

Most tax offices can prepare a return. Few can defend one. Because this division operates inside a law firm, your relationship carries protections and capabilities an ordinary preparer can't offer — and your tax strategy is built by someone who understands both the numbers and the law behind them.

Attorney-client privilege on sensitive tax matters
Representation before the IRS and taxing authorities
Tax planning grounded in law, not just software
Litigation backup from Zapalski Law if a dispute escalates
One office for returns, books, payroll & advice

Who You'll Work With

Tax Leadership Team

Your taxes and books are guided by leadership with advanced degrees in law, business, and economics.

Christopher R. Zapalski, LL.M.

Managing Partner

Chris leads the division with a rare combination of credentials: a Florida law license held since 2002, a Master of Laws (LL.M.), and a Doctor of Business Administration (D.B.A.). He has spent more than two decades preparing and planning taxes, resolving IRS disputes, and advising businesses — and when a tax matter turns adversarial, he can represent clients directly as their attorney, with the protection of attorney-client privilege.
