Extremely Helpful & Knowledgeable Tax Attorney

Mike was able to quickly determine the underlying issues in my tax case and come up with several possible means of resolution. He thoroughly went through the options, made his recommendations, and let me decide the course of action I felt most comfortable with. He promptly informed me of any update...s with my case, and I ended up with a positive resolution. I highly recommend him for any federal or state tax controversies -- he is extremely good at what he does.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
