I engaged John Stern at Goodwin to advise on the tax implications of restructuring our family-owned manufacturing business. His deep knowledge of tax law, honed since his graduation from Boston College Law School, was immediately evident. John meticulously analyzed our situation, explaining the nuances of state and federal regulations with clarity. His recognition in the field of Tax Law by Best Lawyers was well-earned, as his strategic advice saved us a significant amount in potential liabilities. He was patient, thorough, and made a complex process manageable. While his expertise is top-tier, there were a few instances where email responses took a bit longer than expected during the initial engagement phase, which is my only note. Overall, John provided exceptional value. I highly recommend him for any business or individual facing intricate tax planning challenges in the Boston area.
