A consummate professional who delivered an exceptional outcome

After 37 years of practice, H. Neal Sandford possesses a depth of knowledge that is immediately apparent and profoundly reassuring. Our family faced a complex tax issue stemming from the sale of a multi-generational business asset, a situation fraught with potential pitfalls. From our first consultation at Goodwin's Boston office, Mr. Sandford demonstrated a masterful command of both the intricate details of tax law and the broader strategic picture. His guidance, rooted in his extensive experience since graduating from UVA Law in 1988, was not just technically flawless but also exceptionally clear. He patiently explained every option, translating dense legal concepts into actionable steps we could understand. It was evident why he has been consistently recognized by Best Lawyers in Tax Law since 2008. The resolution he achieved for us was far more favorable than we had anticipated, protecting a significant portion of the proceeds we feared would be lost. His professionalism, steady demeanor, and genuine commitment to our family's well-being made an inherently stressful process manageable. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
