“Tax law is a logic game; it’s about finding the optimal solution within the prescribed legal puzzle of the Internal Revenue Code. I love solving that puzzle, and I thoroughly enjoy obtaining favorable outcomes for clients in the process. To me, there is no greater professional joy than efficiently and thoughtfully resolving tax issues for clients and/or identifying previously unrealized tax efficiencies which they will materially benefit from.”
