Advised on Tax Case | Jan 19, 2024
He has business experience prior to being a lawyer. He’s not just book smart, he understands my needs from a legal and business perspective. He’s very easy to work with and finds out what you’re looking for before he begins figuring out the strategy. I knew him from law school and he’s always been a person who operates in good faith. He looks out for others. I practice personal injury law and he’s my business/tax lawyer. Great lawyer to have on your team. I definitely recommend him.
