Expert tax litigation counsel for a complex IRS dispute

I engaged Michael Cottone at Holland & Knight after receiving a substantial proposed adjustment from the IRS regarding a business restructuring. His deep knowledge in Tax Law and Litigation & Controversy was immediately evident. He clearly explained the nuances of the tax code and built a compelling defense strategy. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Tax Law for consecutive years was a significant factor in our choice, and his expertise lived up to that reputation. Michael was thorough, strategic, and provided excellent guidance throughout the negotiation process, ultimately securing a favorable settlement that saved our company a considerable amount. The only minor critique is that during particularly busy periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, though his team was always helpful in bridging the gap. Overall, I highly recommend Michael for anyone in the Nashville area facing complex tax disputes.
