Ken became licensed to practice law in June of 2001 and obtained an LLM-Taxation Degree (Master's in Tax Law) in 2004. Having been involved in the real estate industry, he maintained his ties to the real estate and business communities by providing numerous educational seminars on various law, taxation and real estate related topics. One of his favorites is his "Tax Strategies for Realtors(R)", in which he teaches how small business owners and real estate agents can save thousands of dollars on their taxes.
