Randal J. Kaltenmark provided a solid legal foundation for my tax dispute case, leveraging his extensive experience in audit and administrative proceedings. His background in general practice and recognition as a Lawyer of the Year for Tax Law and Litigation gave me confidence in his expertise. However, I found the communication during the process to be uneven—some responses were prompt, while others took longer than expected. The resolution was satisfactory, but I had to follow up multiple times to clarify next steps. While his knowledge of IRS and state tax authorities was evident, I would have appreciated more consistency in updates. Overall, a competent attorney with areas to improve in client communication and responsiveness.
