I am an advisor, a confidant, and a problem solver. I work with businesses and nonprofits, their owners and stakeholders, their senior management, officers, and directors, and other individuals to help them make the best decisions possible, to insure they satisfy their needs and exceed their goals, and to help overcome complications that arise along the way. As an AV rated lawyer, I help my clients in multiple ways. First, I represent companies, their owners, high net worth individuals, and tax-exempt organizations in administrative tax disputes with the IRS and the Department of Justice and, when necessary, I litigate tax disputes against the IRS and the Department of Justice in U.S. Tax Court, U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and U.S. District Courts.Second, I represent clients - in tax cases and other cases - before state and Federal appellate courts, insuring that they retain their trial level success or reverse a detrimental trial level result.And always, I keep my clients’ goals, ideals, and business purposes at the forefront of my advice.
