Real Estate Attorney + CPA Referral South Bay Area or Santa Cruz?
Can anyone recommend a real estate attorney and CPA in the Bay Area, or more specifically, in the South Bay or Santa Cruz? Ideally someone with deep knowledge in structuring investment partnership/sponsorship entities, as well as tax strategy. Thanks!

I'm looking as well with emphasis on tax strategy. I live in Santa Cruz and have not found someone yet that can help with structuring and tax strategy. Most seem to use turbo tax themselves to do your taxes, or something similar. I'm wondering if "CPA" is the wrong search word for what we're looking for...perhaps "tax strategist"?
