Bill Bryant provided exceptional counsel during the sale of my manufacturing company. His deep knowledge of tax implications and corporate structure, honed over 46 years, was invaluable. He deftly navigated the deferred compensation and equity plan issues, ensuring a smooth transaction. His recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in tax litigation is well-earned, and his calm, strategic approach from Dominick Feld Hyde PC inspired confidence. The process was thorough, though communication response times could occasionally be quicker. Overall, his expertise from the University of Alabama's tax program was evident, and I highly recommend him for any significant business or tax matter in Birmingham.
