Evan & His team are amazing & definitely passionate about their defense. They listen attentively & respond with compassion and passion. As well as care about the well being of who they are representing with great results. If you ever find yourself in a legal bind call Evan and his team, the peace that I had while dealing with something that could have easily brought me down because not everyone who is charged is guilty, the team was definitely sent from a pure place. Thank you so much to everyone at the office for my freedom, peace of mind, and Joy. Im forever grateful and highly recommend.

Annmarie Jenson is the sweetest and most compassionate lawyer I’ve ever met. She is incredibly knowledgeable and guided us through a very challenging time with care and professionalism. She truly went above and beyond to help our family when we needed it most, always making sure we felt supported and informed throughout the process. I can’t thank her enough for the difference she made in our lives. Highly recommend!

Husain Gatlin is probably one of the best attorneys I have ever retained and I can’t thank him enough for being so hands on with our case. He did everything he said he was going to do and he is well worth every cent you spend!! As I have told Husain previously, I admire him and I don’t like lawyers! 🤣 I think that explains it all!! Thank you 😎

I highly recommend Mr. Gatlin services to all my family, friends, an associates. His office staff was a pleasure to work with, they were very professional an detailed. Mr. Gatlin made sure all my questions were answered an kept me informed every step of the way. I didnt have to ask any questions, he was on top of it. I would recommend anyone that need professional legal representation to seek Mr Gatlin. I really appreciate his assistance and i want to say THANK YOU Mr. Gatlin for your excellent professional assistance and the outcome.

I paid Husain A. Gatlin $2,500 to represent me in a simple civil dispute. From the beginning, he was difficult to get a hold of, and even though I only reached out with legitimate questions, Gatlin only communicated through a document uploading website, through which it took several days to get a response. Communication got so bad with Gatlin that another lawyer of mine attempted to contact him regarding vital matters- he and I still got no response for weeks. Gatlin made it clear to me -by actually telling me- that he was tired of this case and had no interest in continuing it. It was such a relatively minor case (albeit very important to me) that he simply lost interest when it started taking just a little longer than expected to reach a resolution. WORSE OF ALL, I didn’t find out until trial commenced (with a new lawyer) that a major point of contention between the other party and me was caused by Gatlin’s carelessness. Part of my countersuit against the other party was for trespassing. It didn’t come out until the trial, when opposing counsel brought it to my attention while I was on the witness stand, that unbeknownst to me, Gatlin had given the go-ahead to the other party to enter my property WITHOUT CONSULTING ME, OR EVEN TELLING ME AFTER HE DID IT. Police were called, charges were filed, trial took place, all because Gatlin, knowing I would never allow the trespass FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN, took it upon himself to let the other party enter my property without even telling me he’d done it. As a trial date approached, when he should have been the most interactive, Gatlin completely fell off the face of the planet. Neither I nor my other attorney could reach him at all. Weeks later, I fired him and hired another attorney. Since Gatlin did nothing the entire ten months he “represented” me (other than wear his pretty little bow ties), I filed for fee arbitration to recoup at least a portion of the $2,500 I paid. During the fee arbitration hearing, he blatantly lied several times, and when I proved he was lying, he resorted to insults. If your case isn’t as sexy and exciting as a murder, this is the kind of service you can expect from Husain A. Gatlin. ---------UPDATE, IN RESPONSE TO COMPANY'S COMMENT------------ The panel's questionable decision aside, there's no denying the fact that your carelessness put my children in danger and caused unnecessary litigation. And it's no coincidence that other negative reviews of you have common denominators- your carelessness, quickness to lose interest in cases you're paid to see through to the end, and petulant refusal to communicate with clients.

My case was approved five months after I applied for a marriage green card with Attorney Ryu. I tend to worry a lot, I had a lot of questions during the consultation, but she always responds kindly and quickly, and took meticulous care of the case! Thanks to the care of the lawyers and case managers, my case was able to be approved without an interview or supplementary documents from uscis If someone you know is looking for a lawyer, I would like to recommend trustworthy Attorney Ryu!!!

Our family business suffered from years of abuse from our commercial landlord and we hired Mr.Schachtel to file suit to enforce our rights. As a result of Mr. Schachtel’s work we were able to stand up to the landlord property owner and we forced her to consent to the sale of our company. We would not have been able to achieve this result without legal help from this office and we are happy we made the decision to retain Mr. Schachtel who delivered a courtroom victory for our firm in less time than we thought would be possible.

I hired Alexander to sue a contractor that had ripped us off under a home renovation plan and taken a large amount of our deposits without doing most of the work that we paid for. After we pursued the contractor in court through Mr. Schachtel we won the case. He was very fast, always communicating with us, effective in court and we got the victory we deserved after persisting through the legal process.

Now that I am sitting comfortably in my new house I can reflect on the elements that came together to make it not only possible but a victory! Obviously the realtor plays a significant role , but what brings it all together at that closing table? Your Real Estate attorney is the answer! I have purchased and sold properties with the expertise, knowledge and wisdom provided by Stempler Law! Mary Young and Larry Stempler are by far the most thorough and dedicated advocates for their clients. Their goal is to do everything right and in a timely manner. They went out of their way to accommodate my schedule when I sold my place in Montclair and relocated to Tennessee and had to leave before the closing day. They are a great team, working together to make sure everything tics and ties… no loose ends!! I highly recommend their services! Your realtor will thank you as well because they work in partnership with both you and your realtor!! Thank you Mary and Larry for assuring a clean and efficient close! Best regards and much appreciation!

I used this law firm to close sale of my condo in 2021, since they were under the legal plan (Legalease) and had good ratings on Google. I am sad to say that I found this firm to be dishonest in their dealings. They charged me an extra $500 without explaining why and held up the closing until I paid them. I did end up paying them because it was not worth ditching the transaction and starting with another lawyer so late in the game. This was my last email to them. They didn't respond to why they charged me an extra $500 without an explanation. It took me a long time to post this review, and I hope it saves others headaches in dealing with dishonest service providers like this firm. ------------------------ Larry I didn't get a clear answer on the phone from you re: your fees, and also I would prefer to get this over email anyway. You seem distressed that Legalese pays you just $400 for the contract -- which, if we stick to facts alone, is something you knew fully well before taking on this case. The retainer you sent which I signed states that: " Expenses such as postage and overnight delivery are not covered by the Plan and are your individual financial responsibility. Likewise, lengthy contract negotiations and extraordinary factors including, but not limited, to lengthy inspection negotiations, title issues and travel to a distant closing are not covered by the Plan and are also your individual financial responsibility. A Fee List is enclosed herein for your reference. Any additional charges for legal fees will be based upon the amount of extraordinary time required of the Firm are billed at Larry A. Stempler’s current hourly rate of $425.00 per hour and Paralegal hourly rate at $135.00." I am still not sure what lengthy contract negotiations were done by your firm, or extraordinary services were offered wrt this contract closure. When you got involved, we already had a price we had agreed to with the buyer. The buyer, post-inspection, asked for a bunch of stuff which could be waived for $1000, which we took up. So, to my knowledge, I am unaware of any lengthy contract negotiations or extraordinary services that your firm performed that should require an additional charge. I am not comfortable with you charging me $500. If you believe it is deserved per the retainer agreement we have in place, kindly respond back as to what exactly you are charging for. -------------------

I'm a person who puts things off... especially when it's dealing with troubling issues. I tend to ignore them until I simply can't anymore. On the Friday before a court filing due the next Monday, I contacted James Cerbone's law office after finally opening a piece of mail I had received from them the week before - remember the part about putting things off? Cindy returned my messaged call within the hour, and arranged to stay late so that I could come in and sign the paperwork. The price was fair and everything settled to my satisfaction. (It was a case involving old debt). Cindy was not only understanding, but friendly and personable - my only regret is that I didn't contact her sooner!

My husband and I attended one of Michael Bonfrisco's Seminars last year and were impressed with the way he conducted the seminar, and with his professionalism and knowledge of Estate Planning. We set up an appointment with Michael quickly thereafter. He was easy to talk to, easy to understand, and with his guidance and expertise we planned our estate. Our main concern was protecting our assests from excessive taxes and preserving them as much as possible for our children and grandchildren. Needless to say, Michael helped us accomplish that. My daughter attended the last seminar in November with us and she said it really got her thinking about it, especially since she has 3 children. I have recommend Michael to my family and friends and three of them plan to seek his expertise with their estate planning in the near future. I would love to add one other thing.......Michael makes you feel like your Family!!!

for 10 or more years I had been trying to get my husband to agree to go to any estate planning lawyer to have a will/trust prepared. we knew very little about the whys & hows of estate planning. I had even been cutting out newspaper articles about the process for us to read but to no avail. we did attend one seminar during that period but while we learned a little more @ the process, it would be another few years before he finally took action. he had seen a notice in the newspaper for an upcoming seminar @ estate planning presented by a lawyer named Michael bonfrisco. he was finally motivated to attend another seminar. we attended that seminar in mar of 2013. he made his presentation so interesting and realistic that it felt like he was talking about us (& probably many of the other attendees). we could relate to the family in his presentation. my husband was so impressed that he scheduled a consultation (free) with him immediately after the seminar ended. when we met with him a couple of weeks later we explained exactly what we wanted to accomplish. he took us step by step through the process and provided us with a timeline. he listened to and understood our concerns, explained basic info to us, and then advised us to how he would proceed to protect our financial & personal interests by eliminating probate, excessive taxes ,& preserving our assets for our immediate family members. he explained what financial and personal info he would need b/f he could proceed. we met with him a few weeks later and fine tuned every aspect of the document to assure that it accomplished just what we wanted. two months later, by may 2013, we had signed our trust document with mr bonfrisco. over the past 20 months we have received numerous e-mail notices with updates and other seminars. we've also had need to ask several questions and have always received a quick response (w/o charge) from himself or one of his very knowledgeable staff members. we attended "our" 1st annual family legacy seminar on nov 15 and enjoyed it immensely. after the seminar he took time to answer questions on a 1 to 1 basis from the attendees. he truly takes a personal interest in all his old clients & any prospective clients. I would highly recommend Michael Bonfrisco to any of my family or friends.

Please don’t waste your money on this extremely unprofessional so called attorney. He had my case for almost 2 years when it shouldn’t of taken no more then 6 months. Not once did he called me or emailed me. I had to call and only got to speak with his secretary. They dismissed my case and he had no clue. 6 months later it was refilled only because I sent numerous emails. A day before going to court he tells me he wants an additional $1,250 when then whole case was suppose to cost $1,000. If I can give him zero stars I would. So now I’m out $800 and my case is not even done. Now I have to find another attorney because I refuse to pay this scammer.

The Law Offices of Osualdo Gonzalez has been a life saver. I’ve been going through financial hardship due a career change, moving, my grandmother & younger brother suddenly passing away, The Writer’s Strike affecting my main source of income, and an unfair lawsuit against me. I called Mr. Osualdo Gonzalez’s Law Office in Union City on Bergenline Ave and he responded right away. After he reviewed my case, he advised me of my options. I decided to hire him to resolve my legal-financial issues. Mr. Osualdo’s Law Office offers prompt, confidential, fair, professional services. His pricing has been extremely fair and are about the same as his competitors. He and his team have been understanding, patient, organized, and transparent throughout my experience with them. They have over 20 years of experience- if not more; so they can even GUARANTEE a positive outcome :) due to the extensive hands-on knowledge and expertise they’ve earned in their field. Dealing with legal issues can be a confusing, emotional and overwhelming process. But luckily Mr. Osualdo, Mr. Juan, Ms. Jessica and their entire team have been making this process as painless as possible. I highly recommend this Law Office. Thank you!

Jay stayed the course and kept the costs as low as his could as he settled my very complex case. He told me his hourly rate would be lower than the contingency fee. HOW MANY LAWYERS would do that…. VERY FEW!!!! He offered a ear or shoulder whenever I needed it in order to get me to the next step. My case has been closed for two years, and guess what - he is still there for me and my family. I can’t say enough about Jay except he is an pit bull when he needs to be - but FIRST AND FOREMOST a HUMAN BEING, unlike other attorneys I have had the displeasure of dealing with. Thank you JAY!

Mr. Freireich is an excellent lawyer. He represented me on a tax case for about a year and half. The potential financial impact of this case on my family was significant. Mr. Freireich's technical and legal expertise led us to a very favorable settlement. I was extremely confident of his handling of this case and his extensive knowledge of Tax Law. Not only was he legally sharp, but he managed his affairs with the highest ethical standards. I am sure I was not his only client but he understood how important this case was to me and he always retuned phone calls and emails in a timely fashion. He kept me updated on our progress during each phase of the legal process. I was very grateful for his help, his legal expertise, and his genuine concern for his clients.

We hired Sandy to handle our case about a medical billing dispute. He was thoroughly prepared and put a great deal of thought into the defense of our case. We have dealt with lawyers for various reasons before and our experience has been that they tend to do the least amount of work possible. Sandy broke that experience and really worked to help us as much as he could. It was a pleasure to work with him and we highly recommend him.

Used Joseph for a complicated criminal matter that my son got himself into up in Bergen County. Joe jumped on the case immediately, got my son's bail reduced to a level that we could afford, constantly kept us apprised of what was happening in the case, and after doing some discovery actually got the prosecutor to dismiss the charges!! We were ecstatic because we didn't want one stupid incident to haunt our son's life forever. Very knowledgeable, class act, and we definitely wouldn't hesitate to use him again for any legal matters. Thanks again Joe!! You rock!

What a Tax Lawyer Can Do for You

A tax lawyer specializes in the complex area of tax law, offering legal advice and representation on matters related to tax compliance, disputes with tax authorities, and tax planning. Tax lawyers help individuals, businesses, and organizations navigate the intricacies of federal, state, and local tax laws. They ensure that clients are compliant with tax regulations, minimize tax liabilities, and represent them in audits, appeals, or disputes with tax authorities such as the IRS.

Whether you need assistance with personal taxes, corporate tax strategy, or resolving an audit, a tax lawyer can protect your rights and help you manage your financial responsibilities.

When Should I Hire a Tax Lawyer?

Hiring a tax lawyer is advisable in several situations where tax issues are complicated, disputes arise, or legal strategies are necessary to manage tax liability. Common reasons to hire a tax lawyer include:

  • Tax audits or disputes with the IRS: If you are facing an audit or have received a notice of deficiency from the IRS, a tax lawyer can represent you and defend your rights during the process.
  • Tax debt relief: If you owe back taxes or face significant tax liabilities, a tax lawyer can help negotiate a payment plan, settlement, or Offer in Compromise with the IRS.
  • Tax planning for businesses or individuals: A tax lawyer can advise on strategies to minimize tax liabilities through legal deductions, credits, and other tax-saving mechanisms.
  • International tax issues: If you have foreign assets or income, a tax lawyer can help you comply with international tax laws, such as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) or Foreign Bank Account Reporting (FBAR) requirements.
  • Tax fraud or evasion accusations: If you're being investigated or charged with tax fraud or evasion, a tax lawyer can provide a defense and negotiate with the authorities to minimize penalties.
  • Corporate tax law compliance: Businesses, especially large corporations, benefit from the expertise of a tax lawyer who can handle complex issues such as mergers and acquisitions, employee benefits, and international tax planning.
  • Estate and gift tax planning: A tax lawyer can help you minimize estate taxes and ensure your assets are passed on efficiently through trusts, wills, and other tax-efficient structures.

Hiring a tax lawyer early can prevent costly mistakes and ensure you are fully compliant with all applicable tax laws.

What Does a Tax Lawyer Do?

A tax lawyer provides a wide range of services to assist clients with tax compliance, tax planning, and legal disputes. Their key responsibilities include:

  • Tax planning and advisory: Helping individuals and businesses plan their tax strategies to reduce liability, avoid penalties, and maximize deductions and credits.
  • Representing clients in tax disputes: Defending clients in disputes with the IRS or state tax authorities, including audits, appeals, and collections actions.
  • Filing Offers in Compromise: Negotiating settlements with the IRS for clients who owe more than they can afford to pay.
  • Handling tax litigation: Representing clients in tax court or other legal proceedings if a tax dispute escalates beyond the administrative level.
  • Estate and gift tax planning: Advising clients on how to structure their estate to minimize estate and gift taxes, including creating trusts, family partnerships, or charitable giving plans.
  • Assisting with tax fraud investigations: Defending clients accused of tax fraud, evasion, or criminal tax offenses.
  • International tax compliance: Advising clients with offshore assets on U.S. tax compliance and reporting requirements, including FATCA and FBAR.

How Are Tax Lawyers Paid?

Tax lawyers typically charge for their services in various ways, depending on the complexity of the work involved and the nature of the legal assistance required. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many tax lawyers charge by the hour, especially for complex cases or ongoing legal work such as audit defense, tax litigation, or corporate tax planning. Hourly rates can range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as preparing a legal document, filing an Offer in Compromise, or handling a routine audit, some lawyers charge a flat fee.
  • Retainer: For businesses or individuals with ongoing tax needs, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment used to secure the lawyer’s services and billed against as work is completed.
  • Contingency fee: In rare cases, particularly when negotiating settlements or resolving tax debts, a lawyer may charge a contingency fee based on the outcome of the case. This means they only get paid if they succeed in reducing your tax liability.

Always ask about the fee structure during the initial consultation to avoid surprises and ensure you understand how the lawyer will charge for their services.

How Much Does a Tax Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a tax lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the specific services required. Here are some general cost estimates:

  • Simple tax issues: For straightforward cases such as filing an Offer in Compromise or handling a routine audit, fees may range from $2,000 to $7,500.
  • Complex tax disputes: For more complicated cases, such as defending against tax fraud accusations, handling a significant IRS audit, or resolving international tax issues, costs can range from $10,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the time and effort involved.
  • Hourly rates: Tax lawyers typically charge between $200 and $600 per hour, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases involving high-stakes outcomes.
  • Flat fees: For specific services, such as tax planning for an estate or preparing a legal document, a flat fee may range from $1,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity of the task.

Always get a detailed estimate of fees during your consultation so you can plan your budget accordingly.

Top Questions to Ask a Tax Lawyer

Before hiring a tax lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your situation. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with tax law?
    Ensure the lawyer has specific experience handling cases or issues similar to yours, whether it’s IRS disputes, corporate tax planning, or estate taxes.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the lawyer’s fee structure - whether it’s hourly, flat fee, or retainer - and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case.
  3. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    Ask the lawyer to provide an honest assessment of your situation and the possible outcomes, such as tax reductions, settlements, or litigation results.
  4. Have you handled cases like mine before?
    Find out if the lawyer has experience with issues similar to yours, such as international tax compliance, criminal tax defense, or complex estate planning.
  5. What is the timeline for my case?
    Ask how long it will take to resolve your tax issue or dispute, as some tax matters can take months or years to fully settle.
  6. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work. Clarify who will be handling your case day-to-day.

How to Check the Credibility of a Tax Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable tax lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for specific tax law expertise: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in tax law and have handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and service.
  • Ask for references: A credible tax lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their ability to handle complex tax matters.
  • Look for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Bar Association’s Section of Taxation or the National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP) can indicate that the lawyer stays current with tax law developments.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a tax lawyer, it’s essential to come prepared with all relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Tax returns and records: Bring copies of recent tax returns, especially those related to the issue you're facing.
  • IRS correspondence: If you’ve received notices from the IRS or state tax authorities, bring all relevant documentation.
  • Financial records: Bring records of income, expenses, assets, and any other relevant financial documents that the lawyer may need to understand your tax situation.
  • List of questions: Prepare a list of questions to ask the lawyer about your case, the legal process, and the potential outcomes.
  • Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any interactions with the IRS or tax authorities, including audits, notices, or payment demands.

By being well-prepared, you can ensure a productive consultation and help the lawyer assess your situation effectively, providing you with the best legal advice moving forward.
