About
As a naturally curious person, I want to first understand the goals and concerns of my clients and their perspective of a matter. That way, I can deliver relevant information and provide legal counsel in a meaningful way. I bring a problem-solving orientation to advise clients on practical solutions to help them achieve their goals and resolve issues.
I represent individuals and businesses across major areas of tax. My knowledge and experience includes:
- identifying tax risks and consequences related to business transactions, buying, or selling a business
- assisting with matters pertaining to domestic and foreign tax planning
- advising on estate-planning strategies
The tax law is comprised of various authorities, which include statutes, regulations, rulings, and case law decisions. My role is to comprehend the authorities, apply a client’s situation to the relevant authorities, and to deliver practical advice concerning the particular tax question.
I strongly believe in being responsive to my clients and collaborative with colleagues. Every person deserves respect and attention. The adage, “Good manners are the lubricating oil of society,” are words that I truly value and strive to live by each day.
