Preservation of wealth and the protection of personal and business assets are the core of my practice. I advise clients with established and emerging wealth, their businesses, and their fiduciaries on the planning and administration of estates. The ability to protect wealth and pass it from generation to generation has become an increasingly intricate and multilayered process, requiring an attorney who has mastered a variety of disciplines and obtained specialized education.

Inter-family disputes are a frequent source of probate litigation, particularly in cases where there has been a second marriage, and children from the first marriage find themselves at odds with children from the second marriage or with the stepparent. Even in single-marriage situations, a child or other potential heir may be disinherited or receive a smaller share than his or her siblings or others similarly situated, leading to probate litigation.

Have you received a Notice of Deficiency from the IRS? Disputes with the IRS over taxes can be extremely stressful. Going up against one of the country’s most feared institutions, all while needing to comprehend complex tax-related rules and regulations, is not something you should do alone. Whether you choose to fight or seek the best compromise available, you would benefit greatly from an attorney experienced in navigating the difficult terrain of tax law.
