About

I am a tax attorney specializing in federal renewable energy incentives, with a focus on the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Production Tax Credit (PTC) under the Inflation Reduction Act. I advise clients on credit qualification and compliance, and assist in interpreting evolving guidance from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Energy (DOE) affecting renewable energy projects. I support clients through technical tax analysis, regulatory monitoring, and assistance with the administration and optimization of energy tax credits. My experience includes, but is not limited to, drafting and reviewing technical memoranda, IRS comment letters, DOE-related submissions, and audit readiness and response efforts for multi-million-dollar renewable energy projects. I am licensed to practice law in Texas, New York, the District of Columbia, and Ohio.
