Mardiros “Marty” Dakessian of Dakessian Law Ltd. in Los Angeles told Law360 he has known Rettig since around 2000 and that Rettig has the ability to “bring people together” in addition to having demonstrated integrity while representing taxpayers and playing a leadership role in multiple bar associations.

Whatever Rettig’s priorities will be, whether they end up being increased funding for the IRS or improved customer service, he likely will be able to convince the necessary people why these changes are needed for transparent pricing to run the organization efficiently, Dakessian said.
