For the first 15 years of my career I was an estate tax attorney with the IRS in the Atlanta district office.  In that capacity, I examined hundreds of gift and estate tax returns, negotiated tax settlements and assisted IRS Counsel with docketed Tax Court cases.  Since, leaving the IRS, I have used the knowledge and experience I gained there to assist cllients in navigating through the intricacies of the tax code as it relates to trusts and estate matters.  My clients also include family business owners, tax motivated investors and individuals engaged iin tax controversies with the IRS.
