With a background in tax planning, tax dispute resolution and civil litigation, Michael prefers a collaborative problem-solving approach to his work with clients. He understands that each client’s circumstances are unique and believes in working closely with them to truly understand their objectives and develop effective strategies to help bring them within their reach. Outside of work, Michael enjoys various activities, including gardening, fly fishing, rockhounding and golf.
