About Howard
The size of Hurley, Burish & Stanton is a tremendous asset in Howard Sweet’s eyes. “We’re able to have a more personal relationship with clients, while still offering a broad range of expertise. Attorneys from diverse disciplines are more collaborative here – different from a larger, corporate law firm.
Estate Planning; Probate and Trust Administration
All aspects of estate planning, from modest to large. Probate and trust administration experience includes estate administration, tax planning and representation in connection with tax audits and probate-related litigation.
Tax-Exempt Organizations
Organizational and operational aspects of both large and small operating and grant-making foundations. Extensive work in connection with fund-raising and grant-making.
Tax
Individual income tax issues as well as business tax issues arising from the purchase and sale of businesses. Tax-exempt organization issues relating to private foundations and establishing charitable remainder trusts and pooled income funds. Practice before the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, the Internal Revenue Service, the Wisconsin Tax Appeals Commission, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Real Estate
Representation of developers and contractors as well as negotiating terms of large commercial leases on behalf of both lessors and lessees. Representation of individuals in connection with the purchase and sale of single-family and multiple-unit buildings, as well as agricultural and recreational properties.
Business
Purchase and sale of retail, real estate and manufacturing enterprises. Corporations and partnerships on matters such as creation, finance, tax, contract negotiation, and compliance with various governmental rules and regulations.
On helping clients
“Often, I deal with people who are under stress. I help them think through what their choices are. It’s rewarding – later – to sit and talk through where they were and how they were helped through it.”
On listening
“Listening is critical to understanding what concerns people have. They may not be able or willing to share their concerns. You need to probe and listen to get to the issue at hand.”
Education
University of Wisconsin
