“…we have been successful in sustaining the taxpayer’s position in every case where Abrams valuations have played a part… In one particular dispute with the IRS…You were able to correct the work of the prior appraiser… you showed that the business was overvalued by the prior appraiser in a number of ways…it became apparent that you enjoyed the great respect of one of the supervising agents in that IRS office, and I strongly suspect that he encouraged the otherwise-aggressive auditors to back off in the face of your analysis. The client, of course, was very pleased.”

Without your assistance, I am certain the matter would not have favorably concluded…Your preparation was excellent as was your testimony. I found you to be extremely persuasive with a unique ability to explain complex models in a comprehensible fashion. During the course of our litigation, you and your staff were responsive to this office’s needs. I cannot express to you how important this is in trial preparation.”
