Knowledgeable on tax disputes, but communication was inconsistent

I engaged Caroline Kupiec at Sullivan & Worcester for a complex Massachusetts DOR audit concerning business expense deductions. Her technical knowledge is evident; she clearly understands the intricacies of tax controversy from the audit level upwards, which gave me initial confidence. Her background and the recognition she's received in tax law are well-deserved from a purely substantive standpoint. She successfully navigated the key issues with the state authorities, and the final resolution was favorable. However, the experience was mixed on the service side. There were periods where responses to emails took a week or more, which was stressful during an active audit. While her analysis was thorough when provided, I sometimes felt I had to prompt for updates rather than receiving proactive communications. The billing was as expected for a firm of this caliber in Boston. In summary, Caroline is a competent and sharp attorney who achieved the legal result I needed. For clients who prioritize constant communication and hand-holding, you may need to set very clear expectations. For those who value deep expertise above all and can manage a less responsive style, her skills in tax litigation are solid.
