5 Questions with Jeff:
- Who inspires you? I am inspired by the dedication, intellect, and creativity of my clients and colleagues. One of the best aspects of this profession is the energy that permeates the air when you gather a bunch of smart people in a room to try to solve a problem.
- What drew you to the law? I enjoy helping and teaching others. As an attorney, I get to do both everyday.
- What aspect of State and Local Tax law do you find most interesting? Having the opportunity to learn about the businesses of our clients.
- What has been your most challenging or rewarding case? I had the opportunity to help a grocery wholesaler with an extensive unitary audit that followed the acquisition of a grocery retailer. Not only were we able to achieve a great result, but I also learned about the tremendous expertise and effort that goes on behind the scenes of my local grocery store down the street. I will never look at a loaf of bread the same way.
- What is your go-to comfort food & do you have any hobbies that you enjoy? I enjoy pizza and go-karting.
