Yesner & Boss, P.L. is proud to be the key sponsor of the 9th annual "Bikes for Kids" event, which will be held at the Amir Academy on Friday, December 17th from 5pm-8pm. Each year the Amir Academy gives 200 bicycles to underprivileged area children. The children are selected by two non-profit organizations, Women on the Way and Male Outreach, which are working to improve the lives of families in need in the St. Petersburg area.

The Amir Academy obtains the bikes pre-assembled from Walmart at the end of November for only $40 per bike. In addition to the bicycles, Mr. Amir also gives one single mother an automobile as a surprise gift during the event.

We know how difficult today's economic conditions have become and we can just imagine how nice it will be for children of these families in need to receive a brand new bike for the holidays this year.

If you would like to make a kid smile this holiday season and donate a bike, please click this link for the event flyer or feel free to call 727-821-4097.

St. Petersburg, Florida – Yesner & Boss, one of Tampa Bay's best-known law firms in the areas of tax defense, real estate, personal injury and family law, is celebrating the opening of its Sarasota office, inviting area residents to meet members of the firm at an open house Thursday, Nov. 18.

The Sarasota office is led by long-time Sarasota attorney Jo Ann M. Koontz, who is also a certified public accountant. Koontz joined Yesner & Boss, P.L. (www.YesnerBoss.com) in February, 2010 to help buyers and sellers of commercial and residential real estate deal with the tax consequences of their transactions.

Yesner & Boss has extensive overall experience in tax law and IRS negotiations, personal injury, family law, foreclosure defense, bankruptcies, short sales and debt negotiation, as well as business law and wills, trusts and probate.

With the official opening of its Sarasota office, Yesner & Boss now has offices in St. Petersburg, Tampa and Sarasota.

"The tax and real estate crisis has hit all of Florida very hard, much harder than in most of the rest of the nation," said Shawn Yesner, the founding partner in the firm. "The more people we can help, the more of a positive impact we can have in the region we all call home. We're eager to get to know our new neighbors in Sarasota."

Koontz said she was attracted to Yesner & Boss by the firm's hands-on, personalized approach.

"It is important to me to be able to remain accessible and responsive to clients," she said. "The firm's team approach also allows me to keep abreast of all facets of a client's case."

The open house and ribbon cutting is scheduled from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 18, at the Yesner & Boss Sarasota office, 1819 Main Street, Suite 215. The ribbon cutting will be at 5:30. The office can be reached at 941.362.0050.
