About

The tentacles of the Internal Revenue Code reach far and wide. In a variety of situations, an undetected tax issue can represent a missed opportunity for tax savings or, worse yet, expose you to unforeseen taxes and potential penalties down the road.Whether you are investing overseas or locally, starting a new business venture or nonprofit organization, planning for your family's financial security or administering a trust, you need the guidance of a capable tax attorney.I am currently a tax attorney practicing with Carlsmith Ball LLP, one of Hawaii's largest law firms, with offices in Honolulu, Maui, the Big Island, Los Angeles, and Guam. Prior to my move back home to Hawaii, I worked at Baker & McKenzie in Palo Alto, California, assisting high-tech companies with their international tax planning. During law school at UC Berkeley, I also worked for the Internal Revenue Service in the Office of Chief Counsel. Prior to law school, I received a Masters in Accounting and worked as a CPA in financial statement auditing at Ernst & Young in Honolulu.
