Phillip Zagotti is a JD/CPA with over 20 years of experience advising business owners, trustees, and high-net-worth individuals on the tax, legal, and financial issues that keep them up at night. He practices at North Star Law Firm, where his work spans tax planning, entity structuring, trust and estate administration, international tax compliance, bankruptcy law, and business transactions.

He is also a published author, writing books that translate complex tax and legal concepts into practical guidance for people who aren't lawyers or accountants but need to make decisions as if they were.

Before most clients find him, they've already learned the hard way that tax and legal problems rarely show up one at a time; they show up tangled together.

That's where the JD/CPA combination matters. Phillip brings both lenses to every conversation, whether he's helping a business owner plan an exit, walking a first-time trustee through their fiduciary obligations, or advising an investor on cross-border tax exposure.
