Gerard P. Charette’s practice area focuses on health law, business law, and taxation and estate planning.
“My clients are in the business of creating wealth for our country. On the other hand, modern governments are, by and large,in the wealth destruction business. Therefore, my goal is to help my clients keep as much of their hard-earned wealth out of the hands of governments as is legitimately possible.”
Gerard P. Charette
Experience
Over the past 30 years of practice, Gerard has helped many health-care and business professionals keep more of their wealth through the legitimate multiplication of tax benefits and the legitimate avoidance of taxation.
“The clients that I represent enjoy a better lifestyle, employ more people and purchase more goods from people. These people, in turn, also enjoy better lifestyles.”
