Expert tax litigation counsel for a complex business dispute

Our company faced a daunting, multi-year tax controversy with the state that threatened significant financial penalties. We engaged Courtney Williams at Capell & Howard based on her strong reputation in this niche area. Her deep expertise in Litigation and Controversy - Tax was immediately evident. She leveraged her 19 years of experience to dissect the complex regulations and build a formidable defense strategy. Her background, including the LL.M. from NYU, provided a sophisticated understanding that was crucial for our case. While the process was understandably detailed and sometimes moved at the pace of the legal system, Courtney's strategic guidance was consistently clear. We were particularly impressed that an attorney of her caliber, recognized multiple times as Lawyer of the Year in Montgomery, was so hands-on and personally invested in our outcome. The resolution she negotiated was exceptionally favorable, far exceeding our expectations. If there was one minor note, initial responses to non-urgent emails could occasionally take a day, but this never impacted critical deadlines. For any business navigating high-stakes tax litigation in Alabama, Courtney Williams is a formidable and highly recommended advocate.
