A Master Strategist for Complex Family and Tax Planning

After inheriting a complex portfolio with significant tax implications, my siblings and I were overwhelmed. We engaged Dale Stone at Dominick Feld Hyde, and it was the best decision we could have made. His 45 years of experience, particularly his dual expertise from NYU in both law and taxation, were immediately apparent. He didn't just act as our lawyer; he truly was a counselor and teacher, patiently explaining every option for the effective disposition of our parents' assets. He crafted a comprehensive plan involving trusts and strategic gifting that minimized our tax burden and preserved family harmony. Knowing he has been recognized as Lawyer of the Year in Trusts and Estates gave us immense confidence. Dale’s professionalism is matched only by his personal dedication. He navigated sensitive family dynamics with wisdom and ensured a positive outcome for all. We are profoundly grateful for his guidance.
