I work to achieve significant savings for clients through effective legal representation and planning.
My objective is to make life’s inevitabilities — death and taxes — manageable for clients while being cognizant of the complications these issues raise from a legal, personal, business, and cost perspective.
In addition to tax and legacy planning clients, I represent a select number of entrepreneurs, artists, and athletes in business and personal matters.
I am a member of the Texas/New York/Oklahoma Bar Association Tax Sections and published author on tax-related topics.
