Expert guidance through a complex estate tax audit

Facing an IRS audit of my late father's estate, I needed an attorney with deep tax litigation expertise. Matt Kadish was exceptional. His dual background in tax law and litigation, honed over 16 years, was immediately apparent. He navigated the controversy with strategic precision, referencing nuanced tax codes with ease. His recent Lawyer of the Year recognition in this exact field gave us immense confidence. The result was a full resolution in our favor. His professionalism and command of the material are unmatched.
