Estate Planning Lawyer and much more…

Tony Madonia is an Attorney and Certified Public Accountant who concentrates in the areas of Estate Planning and Administration, Business Strategy and Planning, Wealth Counseling, Corporate Law, and Taxation. Consequently, he is often referred to as an estate planning lawyer, but is really so much more.

Madonia founded Anthony J. Madonia & Associates, Ltd. with a vision of creating a service-oriented, hands-on practice where clients receive comprehensive support and expedient attention. Earlier in his career as a tax accountant, Tony recognized the value of providing multi- dimensional insight when guiding clients through complex transactions.

Today, Mr. Madonia is known as a valuable business and tax resource helping privately-held firms and the families and individuals they support preserve wealth. As noted earlier, he is much more than an estate planning lawyer.

Mr. Madonia thrives on legal and tax challenges-the kind of complex problems that require understanding from multiple viewpoints.
