Our attorneys have over 50 years of combined experience with the IRS, and specifically, issues related to charitable giving. Our team has litigated for the IRS, provided written guidance for the public on charitable donations, and advised top IRS Chief Counsel executives on charitable donation abuse and civil tax penalties.

“As a recently retired Sr. IRS Agent that had the privilege of working with these two attorneys; I have two words – consummate professionals. Kim and Karin both have always provided incredible knowledge and advice. Their understanding of Conservation Easements is unparalleled.”

“It’s always wonderful to hear Karin’s insights into new legislation and best practices regarding appraisals for charitable contributions of art”

“Kim is an amazing attorney … [she made] extraordinary contributions to support the client’s requests and [our] litigation efforts!”

“I really liked working with Karin because she was very dedicated to getting the legally correct answer and was fun to work with. Would be happy to work with Karin and Kim again.”

“Kim’s excellent writing skills were very much in evidence in all of these endeavors. She has a strong ability to focus her writing on the most significant matters, and in the process, achieves an economy of expression that makes her writings useful to any audience.”

“I could not be happier. I appreciated that Kim took the time to personally call me and explain the process and my options on resolving my tax issues as it was all so confusing to me. And getting this resolved so quickly took an enormous amount of stress off of me. I’m so thankful for all she did to help me.”

“So glad you and Karin are enjoying private practice! I hope your clients realize how lucky they are!”
