FIRM HISTORY

Sandra Pfau Englund founded Pfau Englund Nonprofit Law, P.C. in March 1993 shortly after her first child, Drew, was born. In the past twenty years Sandy has added a daughter and another son to the family, and developed a nationwide and international practice assisting nonprofit organizations.  Sandra's son Drew is now an attorney of the Florida Bar and practices at our newly structured, RENOSI Law, P.A.

Sandy had her "aha moment" about working for tax-exempt organizations as a third-year law student at George Washington University when she took a course from adjunct professor, Bruce Hopkins, author of the "Bible" of tax-exempt law, The Law of Tax-Exempt Organizations. Sandy has assisted hundreds of organizations apply for and obtain 501(c)(3) tax-exemption and provides ongoing legal counsel to a wide variety of nonprofits from international "friends of" fundraising organizations to organizations involved in education, environment, technology, health and much more.
