We came to H.T. with a deep concern that we had inadvertently not paid our business taxes appropriately over a period of years. H.T. listened carefully and empathetically as we told him our story. He then researched carefully, reviewing our past tax returns and speaking with experienced colleagues to determine whether or not we had done our due diligence. In the end, he was able to assure us that we had done everything appropriately, relieving us of the great burden we had carried for a long while. We are so thankful for H.T.’s help and expertise; we cannot recommend him highly enough!

Mr. Astrov has been my lawyer for several years, and has worked hard on behalf of my family to get us out from under a mountain of IRS back taxes. He is, without doubt, the person who has saved us. He’s a wonderful combination of professional, courteous, and understanding. He is extremely knowledgeable about tax law, and he always takes the time to explain things in our case. Ours has been a very difficult case, but he never gave up and never stopped working hard to help us. He is always available to answer questions and to offer a sympathetic ear. He has been working very diligently on our case, and it looks like we are coming to a very satisfactory end. All the credit for this success against the odds goes to Mr. Astrov. Anyone with a tax problem should not hesitate to contact him. I cannot recommend him too highly!

HT is a beacon of light throughout the very stressful process of negotiating with the IRS. HT's strategic guidance helped alleviate the anxiety and stress associated with the arduous process of resolving a decade old tax issue. HT provided very clear transparent communication along every step of the way, ultimately dong exactly what he said he would -- resolve my tax issue.
I can't speak highly enough about HT, his strategic direction, and process to remediate a very complex outstanding tax issue that had been both a financial burden and cause of massive anxiety for over a decade.
Five stars, A plus plus plus. Highly Recommend.

I was referred to HT Astrov in late 2017 by my primary business attorney to discuss an IRS/US Tax Court matter and gain specific advice related to my situation. I found HT very patient and understanding of my situation and he readily offered sound advice that set my course of action. I am writing this review about 15 months after the consultation now that my "matter" is settled with the IRS/US Tax Court. Everything that HT suggested worked out in my favor with the US Tax court which reduced my stress, limited my financial exposure and resulted in less taxes being paid than what the IRS was trying to collect. I am very appreciative of his professional and excellent work on my behalf.

Between my work and the FTB I was going crazy! H.T. was so helpful and so understanding. It is never easy dealing with the government and he went above and beyond for me. I really appreciate everything he did for me. I would recommend him and would go back to him again if I need more help for my tax issues.

I hired HT last year on a tax matter that freaked me out after being an expat most of my adult life and I was so worried. HT helped me even if I am on the other side of the world and was very super patient with me and helped solve the matter so I can sleep at night and not worry about the tax authorities. Who wants to be in trouble with them?! I would highly recommend him and his associates (tax experts that he recommended). It was so well worth it. Finding a good tax attorney online is not easy and I was very adamant but I got lucky. I will not hesitate to recommend him or use his services again. He was not into gouging people's fears and was reasonable and a kind person. We should have more lawyers like him.

Spoke to HT to detangle some entity structure /tax related questions we had, and he was both insightful, and understanding of the issues we faced as he went about helping us resolve things and put us on a firm footing for the future.

I called HT regarding my tax issue that I had been trying to handle with the IRS on my own, but wasn't getting anywhere. He was very compassionate and very kind in listening to my problem. He answered my questions and went through some options with me. I really appreciate his knowledge and expertise! He made me feel at ease knowing that there is someone out there that understood my situation.

HT was referred to me by my corporate attorney when I had to dig out from under an IRS mess created by my naiveté and a sloppy bookkeeper. He got results that my new accountant and I could not get. He is a true professional.
He has a combination of skills and characteristics that you might not expect to find in an attorney. He advised me, worked with my accountant, and dealt with the IRS on my behalf. He dealt with the paper work and agents, but understood that I had a budget. He helped me set a budget and prioritize what he needed to do and what I could do. He has a sharp legal mind, was aware of CA and Federal issues, and was up to date on the ever changing tax laws and codes. With the IRS agents, he knew when to be aggressive and when to pull back. The IRS agents took his calls, responded to his letters (they NEVER took mine) and in turn, gave him valuable information that helped my case.
When it came to working with me, he was firm, incredibly responsive, candid, honest, patient, and he was compassionate. Truly compassionate. He made a stressful, frightening situation manageable by explaining the facts and options in as much detail as I requested (and I requested A LOT o detail) without candy coating. I went from being managed by the situation to managing the situation.
I give HT the highest recommendation, without reservation. My various jobs have put he in contact with hundreds of lawyers over the years. HT is easily among the top 2% of lawyers have worked with in my 20+ career.
