I was thrilled when I received a tax bill from the IRS that I fully expected and understood. I didn't bother calling Joe Callahan. I couldn't be more disappointed with the time and quality of advice he didn't provide me. I strongly advise against recommending him. the experience was 1 years ago.

I recently had the privilege of working with Joseph Guirguis to establish a power of attorney, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. His expertise and professionalism made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
He was incredibly attentive to my specific needs and time constraints. He listened carefully to my concerns and tailored the power of attorney to suit my unique situation.
Moreover, he handled the entire process with the utmost professionalism and integrity. He was transparent about the costs involved and ensured there were no surprises, which I greatly appreciated.
I highly recommend him for anyone seeking assistance with a power of attorney.

An excellent real estate and business lawyer. The go-to attorney for any business contract or real estate matter. His expertise extends to tax issues as well. I have engaged his services three times, and each time, he surpassed my expectations.

I was very positively surprised by John Kiritsis and his professionalism. He treated my commercial case very professionally and expeditiously. He is one of these very small number of attorneys left in NYC that does not want your money before the work is done. That was very surprising for me.

Kimmel and Silverman were outstanding. They were extremely informative from start to finish. They made sure to keep me updated as the process moved along and advised me as each offer was made and allowed me to make informed decisions on my case. We ended up just finishing the process where I was awarded 8,500 for the issues I've had with my vehicle. I highly recommend everyone to seek their help when something is wrong with their vehicle.

What a great experience! I was at my wits end trying to get help for my new vehicle issue. It felt like no one cared at the dealership and I was at the mercy of the manufacturer with waiting for parts, etc. That is when I decided to call this firm. From the moment they took my first call to the end settlement offer I felt as if I mattered and was valuaed buy ever member of this firm! I cant speak highly enough of Bob Silverman, David Kang, and gang that all helped find some sort of resolution to my situation! From the botton of my heart, Thank you all!

The best lemon law lawyers by far. These guys specialize in automobile litigation for dealer defective vehicles. Mr. Silverman is very kind and super easy to deal with, he explained the process and made me very comfortable and confident that I had a attorney that is experienced and well versed with fighting for consumer rights. You can feel confident that you have a professional in your corner every step of the way with Kimmel & Silverman. Thank you guys for making my life easy!

I was involved as a witness for a complicated case that Tom Kennif was representing the defendant on. From his initial contact with me through the process of testifying, his communication of what was expected and what the law meant in layman's terms that I could understand, was excellent. And he won the case for his client!! Excellent lawyer and his staff were great.

My experience with Gouchev Law has been nothing shy of excellent. As a small business owner with very little knowledge in the field of law, I searched for a law firm that could both provide me with insight to the best course of action and also execute upon that plan. With Gouchev Law, I felt that immediately as they had me in their best interest and has become a firm that I can trust and rely on for whatever my business needs as it continues to grow.

Daniel reviewed a job offer from a startup for me. It turned out that part of the offer had some dubious language. Daniel explained to me clearly why the document was non-standard, and what a typical, competitive offer would look like. This gave me the information I needed for to make a counter-offer, and ultimately, a final decision on the job. Daniel was timely, professional, and easy to work with. Overall, I strongly recommend Daniel, and I will be returning to him for any future work!

Navigating a divorce is never easy, but Todd Spodek and his team especially Claire Lou made the process far less overwhelming. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explain my options clearly, and always kept my best interests in mind. Their responsiveness and ability to provide practical, well-thought-out advice made a difficult time much more manageable.
Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I felt confident and supported every step of the way. I’m incredibly grateful for their help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of an exceptional divorce attorney.

I have worked with Lee Black for 4+ years, where he served as General Counsel on my software startup. Lee is a trusted lawyer who genuinely has your best interests in mind.

My husband and I engaged Lee to assist us with an investment transaction. He brought a level of expertise and knowledge to us that far exceeded my expectations and helped us navigate the complex legal and tax considerations in question. He also spent time educating us on our options and the "why" behind certain recommendations. I highly recommend Lee and know we will use his services in the future.

I have worked with Mr Black for fifteen years. His ability to get to the heart of a situation is stellar. He has used his vast expertise to advise me in a particularly challenging effort to unravel usual elements of a long term lawsuit.
If another category of legal knowledge is needed Mr Black will find the appropriate attorney to consult while continuing to manage the situation. This has saved me a great deal of time and money.
Mr Black really listens to his clients needs and opinions and responds appropriately and throughly.
It is my pleasure to recommend Mr. Black in the highest of terms.

Oliver represented me over a span of a few years in 2 different matters. He is very honest and straight forward which I appreciated. The staff (Larissa) is extremely attentive and responsive, as Oliver is too. I felt like they actually cared about my family. They’re great! They make a very stressful time less agonizing with clear concise communication. Also they’re available when needed for any urgent issues.

Marc assisted me to create a comprehensive estate and asset protection plan for my family. Through every step of the way, Marc and his staff both educated and guided me to make intelligent choices based upon the needs of my family and my personal preferences. It is clear that Marc has not only dedicated vast amounts of time to becoming an expert in his practice area, but also has committed himself to staying abreast of current trends in the ever-shifting seas of estate tax law and asset protection. If you are looking for a "hands-on" attorney to counsel you on a personal level, Marc is your guy. I would highly recommend him.

I've known Marc for a few years. He was referred to me by a friend. We have a child with special needs that we were concerned about planning for his future. When my wife and I met with Marc the first time, I knew right away he was a pro in his field. He was very insightful, considerate, and supportive. Marc presented us with a well-thought out plan for our children. I couldnt've feel more comfortable anywhere else. I have and will continue to refer people to Marc because I feel confident that he always has me and my family's best interest at hand.

I never thought I would meet a "generous" attorney but Mr. Pearlman was generous with his time listening to my tax woes and generous with identifying and connecting me to the appropriate resources and/or providing advice to address my tax issues. I haven't reached out to all of the contacts he provided but if I am as impressed I will update my review. A pleasant, empathetic and professional consultative experience.

During the covid period I was in a mess operating my business. Our creditors refused to offer any payment facilities. In desperation we had reached out to Attorney Jeb Singer for advice.
He listened to me carefully and explained all the options including negotiating with lenders. Having failed, he suggested bankruptcy.
During the entire process his team was helpful, knowledgeable and very professional.
Mr. Singer was always on hand to advise when needed.
I thank Mr. Singer for all his advice and highly recommend his services.

It isn’t my intention to make my review this long, but it’s the only way to truly share my experience. I’ll pay it forward. After months of contemplating, researching the subject and reaching the conclusion I’m truly in the worst of financial troubles, I still wasn’t 100% sure if I could or should go through with bankruptcy. I wasn’t there yet. I was terrified at the thought. Enter Mr. Singer. The first thing was the website. It was very different than most. It’s put together right. It’s not intimidating. So I called the number. To my surprise Mr. Singer picks up the phone. Not an answering machine or secretary or anything. He doesn’t know me and is talking to me like I’m a family member. Like his grandson or son. He spoke to me about ME. With dignity and respect. Not about money or what I did wrong. Not about My mistakes. But is this action now apart of my life’s journey? Do I need to start over? That changed everything for my decision going forward without any fear. Elliot who’s apart of Mr. Singers team is the nicest guy ever. He made the process very easy for me. I could always reach him and Mr. Singer about anything. They were professional and caring & it got me through the process unharmed so to speak. Im grateful to that firm. Run there. Hopefully they will have an opening, if it’s a part of your journey. Sincerely, Michael M

Middle of a tax audit and I was so over my head. The auditor was pretty mean and kept getting more and more aggressive and I was getting super scared of jail or tons of taxes I would never be able to pay back. I called Delia Law the next day and hired them on the spot. Ms. Delia contacted my auditor that day and provided an immediate status to me. She had it under control quickly. She knew the issues and reviewed my case so quick and had all the answers and negotiation strategy. Her confidence in helping me was truly amazing. So grateful she was able to get me through this audit and to help stop an audit of other years. I am in her debt and am truly inspired that there are still some very good people in this world that want to make things better for others less fortunate. She’s the best!

I had the most incredible experience being a client at Hamilton Clarke. Phil, in particular, not only handled my case with the utmost grace and professionalism, he also gave me the confidence in knowing that I had the support that I needed. Through every step of my legal case, I trusted that Phil, as well as other members of the firm were really there for me. They were easily accessible, made sure I fully understood what my process would look like, and fully committed to seeing things through for me. During one of the most toughest times that I've experienced in my life, Phil brought so much positivity to a situation that seemed so negative at the time. I was represented by not only an amazing attorney, but a very thorough, sharp, compassionate, go the extra mile human being, that I recommend to anyone who needed support. Thank you for all of your help on my case!

Phil is one excellent lawyer. He helped me get out and resolve a complex legal matter that lasted for several years. Once Phil was on the case I saw results and the issue got resolved. Phil is not only a brilliant attorney, sharp and always on point but he is also a great guy and I always feel confident when he handles my legal affairs. Alongside Phil I want to mention the entire team and especially Carl Forbes who represented me on a sell of a RE property and did a highly professional work for me! If you want the best service and expertise look no further than Hamilton Clarke! 5 stars in my book.

Collaborating with Adam and his assistant Ishwar made a horrible incident in my life turn out sooth and effortless and I am BEYOND grateful! Honestly, as a person who would have never thought I would’ve needed a lawyer, I dont know how things would have turned out if it weren’t for Adam. He had called me at the right time to take on my case. I was doing alot of calling around town and had just gotten off the phone with one lawyer who had zero confidence in herself , gave me no hope, and was absolutely no help. Adam was the complete opposite. His aggressive and positive efforts assured me that there was light at the end of the tunnel and that everything was going to be okay. He was confident the entirety of my case and was extremely thorough! He made sure no details went untouched and made sense of everything turning my entire case around! I’ll say it again, I am beyond grateful to Adam and his team! I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone who is in need of legal support to come here! The Best of the Best!

My experience with Micheal Ian Black and his team has been one of utter professionalism and etiquette. My first impression of Michael was right. Relentless in his pursuit to fight for his client's interests, and to deliver everything he said he'll do. Michael went far and beyond his duties as my attorney/representative.
I would, without a doubt, recommend Michael Ian Black, Esq to do the best to his ability in any case he might take on.
I will for ever be grateful.

I must say the representative that called me was very nice and he made me feel comfortable with the whole process and explained in detail how everything went from here. There's no amount of money that could buy out the suffering with headache's and everything else that goes along with the tumor, but the people (same people who made some COVID injections) (Pfizer) let millions of women get the Depo- Provera shot for over a decade while neglecting to label the side affect that it could cause brain tumors. At least they could do is compensate/ Settle out of court with us women who did develop a brain tumor due to their negligence

I am truly grateful for the support and guidance we received from Matthew Park. From our very first meeting, it was evident that he genuinely cared about our situation. He took the time to listen to our concerns, making us feel understood and supported every step of the way.
His compassion and understanding made a difficult time much easier to navigate. He was always available to answer our questions and provide clarity, ensuring we felt confident in our decisions. I greatly appreciated his dedication to our case and the personal touch he brought to our interactions.
I highly recommend Matthew Park to anyone in need of legal assistance. His supportive nature and professionalism make him an outstanding choice for anyone seeking help.

Frank was so helpful in explaining to all our family members the various options my parents had in preserving the equity value of their home from Medicaid and passing it on with the beneficial stepped up tax basis for us who will someday inherit the home. My parents opted for an irrevocable family trust which Frank established for us at a significant discount in fees from other attorneys we consulted with. Thank you for your patience and help Frank.

A friend recommended Frank to my husband and me for an IRS tax audit that was not going well and was previously being handled by our accountant. Frank was able to reduce our liability to 1/3 of the assessment and was successful in obtaining a waiver of the penalties. He reorganized our business and advised of the proper tax reporting going forward to avoid further audits and penalties. We subsequently retain him for a real estate purchase closing that was smooth sailing.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
