Nike Pillay

A Lifeline During a Complex Business and Tax Audit

When my small business was selected for a state and federal tax audit, I was overwhelmed and terrified of the potential financial consequences. I needed an attorney who could navigate both the immediate audit and the underlying business structures that were under scrutiny. Finding Nike Pillay was a stroke of luck. While her practice is broad, her recognized expertise in tax law was immediately evident. She didn't just react to the auditor's requests; she proactively organized years of my company's financial records, identified potential vulnerabilities before the IRS did, and crafted a strategic defense that addressed both the tax implications and the business operations they stemmed from. Her approach was meticulous and calm, which kept my anxiety in check throughout the months-long process. Nike's ability to explain complex tax codes in plain English and her firm but respectful communication with the auditors were invaluable. The outcome was far better than I ever hoped—significant penalties were abated, and we established a compliant framework for the future. For anyone in Nashville facing a multifaceted legal issue that touches on business and tax, especially with the IRS, I cannot recommend Nike Pillay more highly. Her general practice perspective, anchored by deep tax knowledge, provided the comprehensive solution I desperately needed.
