RUDY R. COLMENERO, J.D., C.P.A.
As co-founding partner with Page Mitchell, Rudy brings a CPA’s eye to one of the most complex areas of the law. From a solid background in business formation and planning, to estate and tax issues, Rudy is dedicated to providing the highest-quality legal advice to his clients. Whether a business owner, individual or professional, Rudy’s understanding of complicated tax issues, as well as basic business law principles, will help you and your business succeed.
Taxation is one of the most complex areas of the law. It usually takes a lawyer many years to get a feel not only for how the laws work, but also for how to navigate and apply the law to a client's advantage. Within the Mitchell & Colmenero law firm, everything we do — from providing legal services in taxation, estate planning and probate, to business formation and planning — is supported by our years of experience interpreting and applying tax law. We are a boutique law firm dedicated to providing the highest-quality legal advice and representation to our clients, who include business owners, individuals, professionals, accountants and other attorneys in the greater Austin area.
Rudy is a member of the Board of Directors of Austin Capital Bank, SSB and KLRU-TV and is a member of the University of Texas at Austin Planned Giving Advisory Board. Rudy has previously been active in various civic organizations including Leadership Austin, the Texas Lyceum, Communities in Schools, St. Gabriel’s Catholic School and the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
