Ilene knew of my nightmare tax controversy and by taking her advice and trusting in her highly sought after counsel and many past victories, I was blessed with an outcome I only dreamed I'd ever obtain. Her network of other nationaly renound attorneys is impressive. My case was handled by a highly recommended associate of hers 25 years ago. Magnificent!

I have worked with Ilene for over 15 years on many cases. She is an expert in the Charitable Trust area. She has great insight into the tax saving implications of Charitable Trusts. Ilene has saved her clients millions of dollars over the years by implementing Charitable Trusts. I would not hesitate to refer clients to Ilene for all estate planning issues. She is knowledgeable, professional and a good communicator on the issues that need planning.
