PROFILE
Experienced tax lawyer in every area of tax law including individual, entity trusts and estates. In addition,
substantial teaching experience as a full-time and adjunct professor lending itself well to research as
evidenced by three tax articles in the past three years. Tax law experience includes comprehensive
representation of clients before the IRS (audit, collection, installment agreements and Offers in Compromise),
tax planning, tax research and Tax Court litigation. I am a highly motivated individual with an off the chart
work ethic. I strive to be a team player such that the goals of the entity carry the highest priority.
