Mr. Mohammad handled a complex IRS audit concerning my business's R&D tax credits. His knowledge of tax controversy, as evidenced by his Best Lawyers recognition, was clear. He was thorough in his analysis and prepared a solid defense strategy. However, the experience was somewhat mixed. While his legal work was sound, communication was not always timely. There were periods where I had to follow up multiple times for updates, and responses sometimes felt brief. For the high-stakes nature of tax litigation, I expected more proactive guidance. He is undoubtedly a capable attorney from Kostelanetz LLP, and his Michigan Law background shows, but the client service aspect felt just adequate for the premium level of his practice.
