MoreI refer tax matters to Josh with great confidence. His mastery of tax resolution procedure is excellent, but he also has an ability to bring calm to clients who are in a genuinely stressful situation. His practice style is simple and straightforward and he always shoots for the shortest path to a solution for the client while avoiding the many pitfalls that can arise in a tax case. I consistently receive very positive feedback from clients who have worked with Josh.

MoreI have worked with Josh for over 5 years and am always impressed with the effort he puts into each and every matter he is working on, whether it is tax related or otherwise. It is this effort, combined with Josh's knowledge of the tax laws, both state and federal, which lead to the outstanding results he has obtained on behalf of his clients. This effort manifests itself in the continual follow up Josh undertakes with various governmental entities on behalf of his clients - put simply, Josh is a tireless advocate on behalf of his clients and does not rest until he gets the answers he is seeking. Once Josh has these answers, he takes the time to explain the results to his clients and guides them in making a decision which is going to result in a favorable outcome for them. Josh is a top notch lawyer and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking counsel for business or tax matters.
