Michael Y. Goldberg
Background
Navigating complex tax and financial matters can feel overwhelming — that's where I come in. My job is to give clients clarity and a path forward, whether they're managing a personal tax issue, resolving a business dispute, or facing a court deadline.
As a financial expert witness, I work at the intersection of accounting, valuation, and the courtroom. I translate intricate financial data into evidence a judge or jury can act on — and I write reports that survive cross-examination.
Before founding Goldberg Tax Law, I worked at two nationally-recognized tax controversy law firms and the Maryland Tax Court. I am frequently asked to lecture on tax controversy topics — including to IRS Revenue Officers.
