U.S.–Sweden Cross-Border Tax Attorney & International Estate Planning Specialist

I am a U.S.-licensed attorney with over 20 years of experience across immigration, real estate, and international tax law. Based in Sweden, I work with clients on U.S. and cross-border tax planning and preparation, as well as estate planning matters that span both the U.S. and Swedish legal systems.

My academic background reflects the technical depth this work demands. I hold a J.D. from the University of New Mexico and an LL.M. in International Tax from Uppsala University, credentials that position me at the intersection of U.S. and European tax law in a way few practitioners can offer. I also hold an Enrolled Agent designation, giving me full authority to represent clients before the IRS.
