I am a Tax Attorney who works with clients across Colorado. I specialize in reducing and resolving tax liabilities with Internal Revenue Service and Colorado. I also prepare back and current tax returns for individuals and businesses and defend clients in IRS examinations and audits. I received my law degree from the University of Colorado in 2000 and have been in private practice for 15 years.
My goal is always to find a permanent solution to your tax problem. I always strive to achieve the best possible results in the shortest amount of time and at the lowest cost. I always try to treat my clients like friends and family.
I was born and raised in Colorado and completed my undergraduate studies at Colorado State University in 1996. I graduated with honors and then attended the University of Colorado School of Law in Boulder, Colorado where I received my Juris Doctorate in 1999. I passed the Colorado Bar Exam in 2000 and have been practicing law ever since.
I currently reside in Boulder, CO. My family and I enjoy all of the outdoor activities that Colorado has to offer, including camping, hiking, biking, skiing, snowboarding and running.
