Why Ferraiuoli?
I joined Ferraiuoli, because the leadership presented a different and youthful vision of client service that was in tune with my professional goals. I joined the Tax Team with Pedro Notario managing the practice area and found that Ferraiuoli offered a diverse client base with complex tax related issues which challenged and continues to increase my knowledge to this day. René Aviles then joined our team with a new practice area of Employee Benefits and Estate Planning which provided me with an additional professional opportunity to learn and be able to better serve my clients in a wide variety of tax matters.
The opportunity presented to me by the firm has been a gratifying path of professional growth and development which has allowed me to cater to a wide variety of tax issues presented by our clients.
Why do your clients come to you?
Our firm is characterized by our responsiveness and accessibility. I strive to handle client needs within a reasonable time frame which in turn leads to open communication, and better results. Many of our clients come to me for service because I am available 24/7. This has generated lasting relationships with our clients along with reliability and results.
Looking forward, what you see?
We live in a complex and dynamic system which is constantly evolving with new tax laws and measures. We strive to keep up to par with the constant legislative changes in order to better serve our clients. We expect to keep attracting businesses and individuals in order to provide quality legal services with competitive rates.
