Mr. Gray legal expertise was invaluable regarding my legal tax matter concerning the practitioner's fiduciary duties to Executrix of the decedent. As a result I am able to move forward with resolving this overdue matter.

I spoke to Ken for an important matter. Speaking with him, every single time, let my stress go away. He provided me accurate, to the point, and a reasonable advice. Ken completed my work in a reasonable time frame and provided status and plan during the engagement. There were NO billing issues whatsoever and in fact they did an additional Tax return without any charge because it made sense for the matter. I can write a long article on my experience. I found Ken respectful, reasonable, trustworthy, and someone who is in the business with passion to help clients. Rare find in the field! I strongly recommend Ken and will return for a business when I need his expertise.

I was very impressed by Kenneth Gray's knowledge and professionalism. After interviewing 6 attorneys we decided to retain his firm. Looking forward to leaving more reviews for them in the future.

Kenneth answered the unusual question about a tax return on which I didn't receive an answer from two CPAs, two tax helpers, and three IRS representatives.

Ken was very helpful in providing us guidance about taxation implications to moving to UK for both U.S. citizen and green card holder. He provided very quick response to inquiry and had the best answer among 5 or 6 attorneys. Initially he was thinking we needed some pre-immigration planning guidance, but after a 30 minute (pro bono) consult, he recommended that it was not needed. Overall, his insight and expertise was very useful as input into our decision making process. We were able to immediately act upon his advice and guidance and were able to avoid significant (and un-needed) attorney fees in the process. I would highly recommend Ken for any taxation and immigration matters.

I had an initial consultation with him and even though I had sent him all the key info prior to the call it was clear he had not spent any time reviewing it and instead told me that he did not do that because he was not getting paid for the consultation. We work with a lot of lawyers and I have never seen someone come as unprepared to a first meeting as Ken did.
