I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. In undergraduate school, I became fascinated about taxes. This led me to graduating Chapman Law School with an emphasis in tax in 2013.

Initially, I worked in workers compensation but decided to eventually pursue my interests in tax law. I have been representing taxpayers for many years. My experience in workers compensation and helping injured workers obtain the benefits they deserve has given me a unique perspective of what it takes to help those that are disadvantaged. I continue to bring this perspective and sense of duty when representing taxpayers before the IRS and other taxing agencies by advocating for taxpayer rights on a daily basis. Also, being a son of an immigrant Russian family from Ukraine, I grew up seeing the struggles that those who are disadvantaged face. This further encourages me to be the type of attorney that I would want to have if I was in my clients' situation and stand up for my clients' rights within the law.

Thanks to Leading Tax Group, I have found my place where I work with high caliber colleagues who have decades of experience in Tax Law and desire to do what is best for our clients. We handle all tax matters including audits, tax controversy, and penalty abatement.
