“Top-Notch Tax Experts Who Truly Deliver”

Review for Marty Davidoff, Alison, and the Entire Team I had a complex and stressful tax matter that dragged on for quite some time, but Marty, Allison, and the rest of the team handled it with professionalism, persistence, and ease. They stayed on top of everything, kept me in the loop, and most ...importantly—got me extremely favorable results. What stood out most was not just their knowledge of the system, but their ability to guide me through it patiently while also helping me with a personal issue that came up along the way. They were responsive, dependable, and genuinely cared about the outcome. I can’t recommend them enough. If you’re dealing with a tough tax situation and want a team that will fight for you and get the job done right, this is who you want in your corner. Thank you again to Marty, Alison, and everyone involved—it was a pleasure working with you.

Nicole Bononi-Wilson

It was a pleasure working with Nicole during a very stressful New York State residency audit. There are no words to appropriately convey the exceptional way she represented me, although these words come to mind: outstanding, knowledgeable, hardworking, communicative, fearless, results oriented, and t...houghtful. From the outset, Nicole’s extensive knowledge of legal and accounting matters was evident. She asked insightful questions and developed a comprehensive list of documents needed to support my case. Her expertise and dedication were instrumental in crafting a solid defense that ultimately led to an excellent result. No stone was left unturned, and her thoroughness was evident in the comprehensive and meticulous documentation and well-prepared arguments she presented. Nicole was easily contactable. I was kept informed and had a high degree of confidence in the steps being taken. Robbin Caruso also played a pivotal role in the success of my case. She reviewed all documents with an eye like no other. Her attention to detail and meticulousness contributed significantly to the favorable outcome of my residency audit. I am incredibly grateful for Nicole’s and Robbin’s representation and give them the highest recommendation possible. Thank you so much, Nicole and Robbin!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
