John C. Blazier founded Blazier, Rutland & Lerner, P.C. in 1976, and has remained the president of the Firm, now Blazier, Christensen, Bigelow & Virr, P.C.
Blessed with an active business practice, Mr. Blazier is keenly aware of the tax implications of various business transactions. He serves as corporate counsel for a number of mid-sized companies, handling numerous complex corporate matters, from acquisitions and restructuring, to employment law issues.

- Administrative issues such as leases, employment matters and the day-to-day issues that arise in the business.
As a director at the Firm, Tom Virr advises both individuals and small businesses on tax planning, tax controversy, estate planning and probate matters.
Mr. Virr’s previous experience as an Estate Tax Attorney, District Conferee and Appeals Officer for the Internal Revenue Service, as well as his years in private practice, lend a particular depth and insight to his work with the Firm’s clients. He has also assisted in the formation and operation of numerous charitable entities.
Fleur A. Christensen provides the more than twenty-five years of practical experience to the firm’s associates and handles the day-to-day office administration for the Firm.
Her gift of attention to detail and of organizing complex matters served her well during the Firm’s involvement in multi-district anti-trust litigation brought against companies for price fixing in the 1980’s, and continues to promote the success of Firm’s representation of its clients.
Jeremy Royal’s practice focuses on business transactions including entity formation and operations, tax planning for individuals, corporations, partnerships, and LLC’s, as well as controversies involving the Texas Margin Tax and Texas Sales and Use Taxes.

Justin Welch has been practicing since 1997 and focuses on commercial litigation.
Resolution of a dispute does not always involve going to trial, or even filing suit. Indeed, the goal is always to resolve the dispute before it escalates into actual litigation. However, if the matter must be litigated, Mr. Welch has the expertise and experience to take it through trial.
