As I finish my first year of private practice I’d like to thank all my clients, colleagues, friends, and family who made it possible. I appreciate the opportunity I’ve had to serve on the OSB Tax Section Executive Committee and to join the Laws Committee. 2016 brought many successes including IRS and Oregon DOR audits, appeals, identity theft account corrections, Offers In Compromise, and other collection relief. I look forward to continued growth in 2017 and to begin using this site to share some insights from my cases and systemic advocacy.
