In the words of some of our clients:*. As in-house counsel, I have to deal often with outside counsel. Some are not so good about communicating the status of the case or what the strategy should be in light of new events.
Mr. Layton, however, was exceptional. I did not have to worry that my case was being handled in a competent manner. Starting his tax controversy career in 2005, tax attorney Daniel W. Layton worked for the IRS as a tax trial attorney and for the D.O.J. as a criminal tax prosecutor for the better part of a decade.
