About

I am proud to have served clients in Orange County in taxation for over 25 years. I am a graduate of Cal Poly Pomona, and Western State University College of Law, with a certificate in taxation. In law school I won the American Jurisprudence award for excellence in the study of federal taxation. My final exam paper in federal income taxation was published as a study guide for other law students. I specialize in the areas of individual and small business taxation, estates and trusts, and real estate taxation. I has served as an expert witness and have given seminars to other CPAs in the area of taxation. I have successfully represented clients in audits and appeals, before the Internal Revenue Service, Franchise Tax Board, and State Board of Equalization. My legal education gives me the advantage of being able to help clients understand the tax issues involved in contracts, divorces, trusts, and real property issues.
