I provide services in many tax areas predominantly dealing with transactional and tax controversy matters. I work with clients and engagement teams to find creative solutions to challenging problems, whether that problem arises in connection with a sale, an acquisition, or an IRS audit.
In connection to my role as Assistant General Counsel for Tax Matters, I work closely with firm management and engagement team members to resolve potential risk conflicts and provide advice to firm personnel on risk management issues.
I also work closely with other members of the National Tax Office to develop understanding and provide communication to the broader tax department in connection with legislation and emerging issues.
Prior to graduating from Ohio Northern University with a law degree with honors, I worked in public accounting with a Big Four firm in Atlanta, Georgia. After law school and prior to my work with Plante Moran, I earned my Masters of Tax Law (LL.M.) from New York University, worked with a public accounting firm in Dayton, Ohio, served as an Adjunct Professor of law teaching courses in tax law at the University of Dayton School of Law, and worked as a litigation attorney where I was named in the “Top 100” list of attorneys in the State of Ohio by the National Trial Lawyers Association. I served as lead counsel in nearly twenty jury trials.
