The LTS Team

Miles Lawrence, EA, Esquire

Miles holds two professional licenses that allow him to serve client needs: (1) Enrolled Agent is a federal license that authorizes him to practice as a tax preparer and perform the vast majority of tax work that LTS clients require; and, (2) Attorney is a State of California license that also qualifies him to represent LTS clients before the US Tax Court and perform other tax controversy or tax advocacy work if necessary. Both licenses complement each other and provide an excellent background when managing LTS and working with our LTS clients in relation to tax matters and the broader spectrum of issues that touch the area of taxation including estate, financial and asset protection planning.

Richard "Dick" Moore, EA

Dick has been a practicing tax preparer since 1973, and has been an Enrolled Agent since 1979. A military veteran, past Rotary President, and past corporate CFO for two different manufacturing companies, as well as a publishing company, he brings a wealth of experience to the profession and LTS team. Dick's tax philosophy is – be pro-active – you always have a choice. Dick has been an associate working at LTS since 2005. He’s available for consultation for any business planning and tax questions you may have.
