I was overseas for 6 years and came home to a suprise $250k bill from the government for back taxes. Mr. Kokis knew how to deal with the IRS and what they were looking for. He planned out a strategy which involved multiple issues to overcome and a great deal of paperwork / documentation. From the first time I met with him, he knew exactly what to do, say and write. He was always available and responded to emails quickly. The end result was a $0 dollar owed to the IRS and peace of mind. I was stressed out before I met Mr. Kokis but from time of the initial visit until the issue was resolved, I slept easy. Highly recommended

Kokis & Associates is located in Astoria, New York, just across the East River from Manhattan, with practice areas concentrating in Federal and New York State tax dispute resolution and tax controversy. Mr. Kokis is a former Internal Revenue Service District Counsel attorney with nearly twenty-five years experience who has also worked in-house for Fortune 500 companies. Mr. Kokis has a unique blend of government, private and public sector experience that differentiates him from most other practitioners, allowing him to address issues and anticipate potential risks in both a theoretical and practical manner. His experience with the Internal Revenue Service, handling both civil and criminal matters, provides a keen insight into the tax administration system, while his experience in private practice, planning and handling disputes for Fortune 500 companies, has provided greater depth in international matters, tax compliance and tax accounting issues.
 Mr. Kokis is a graduate of the City University of New York – Queens College (B.A., Economics, with a minor in English, cum laude, 1987), Fordham University School of Law (J.D., 1991) and New York University School of Law (LL.M. in Taxation, 1996).

Mr. Kokis first represented us in U.S. Tax Court and won our case, saving us hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties and interest. Our family maintained him as our family estate planning attorney and his service has continued to be prompt and courteous. His knowledge of tax law and tax procedure is unprecedented. We highly recommend him.
