Allan Richard Pearlman

Having moved from another state and a delay in filing our taxes, Allan was most responsive in helping us through the process of clarification, research and filing. He was thoughtful, specific, clear and supportive in the provision of his legal services. He was thorough and always timely. We were very pleased and appreciative with his professional services.

Allan Pearlman served me well in straightening out an IRS issue that put me at risk for $26,000. I had incorrectly excluded expenses from a former company I contracted for, and the IRS hit me for all income + expenses. I felt helpless and powerless to deal with the IRS’s presumption of guilt. Allan reviewed all relevant materials, established a strategy, and saw it through to completion. He researched my situation with other experts, kept me focused and informed, dealt professionally and effectively with the IRS, and truly represented me in our approach to resolving this potentially damaging situation. He orchestrated a “recast” of my taxes for the year, pointed out to the IRS that I had paid taxes on the income, and followed through to the ultimate resolution of the situation: I only owed the IRS $189 (and I got that much *back* from the state of Maryland)! Allan not only provided an invaluable professional service that was effective, but his reassurance and his follow through helped me to realize that I was not alone, and I had a powerful ally working with me. Together we straightened out the situation – once and for all. I would not hesitate, if given the chance, to engage Allan as my attorney on any matter. I’m very confident that I would be well served.

Allan is not only a great tax lawyer but he's also very empathetic and was able to ease my anxiety over the tax issue I faced. Allan extensively researched my tax issue and helped guide me through the complicated process. He's very responsive to client questions and always responded in a timely fashion. In the end, my final settlement was a lot smaller than I could have envisaged at the beginning.

I used Mr. Pearlman on a thorny multi-state income tax dilemma stretching back many years. He immediately understood the problem I had and had helpful, actionable ideas. I was referred to him by a friend; now I know why the friend thinks so highly of Allan. Very helpful.
