Oustanding tax attorney

I am a CPA in practice and in industry. I have worked with Deborah on behalf of several clients. She is extremely knowledgeable, responsive and an expert in her field. I have worked with her in the areas of sales tax and income tax. I have also attended numerous conferences that she has been a part ...of, and her presentations are always top-notch. She is, without question, at the top of her field.

Expert Debtor-Creditor, Bankruptcy Attorney with Exemplar Client Service and a Joy to Work With!

I am a CPA and attorney, but I do not practice in the bankruptcy or debtor-creditor area of the law. But I have consulted with Deb Muhlbauer on behalf of my clients on several occasions and she has always promptly provided very cogent and effective advice. I think her expertise is at least partly d...ue to the fact that she focuses her practice in this area of the law; and she has a sterling reputation in the legal community in and around Buffalo, NY.

Highest recommendation

Deborah has my highest recommendation! I find her prompt, knowledgeable, direct and to me most importantly easy to talk to. You can speak plainly to her and not get lost in legal terms. That makes it amazing when you are stressed out and need to have a full understanding of your options.

Excellent resource for CPA's

Deborah's experience and professional savvy are recognized and appreciated by the CPA community. As a tax CPA of thirty plus years, I know when to call in an able tax attorney. Deborah's results have been well beyond my expectations.

Avvo Rating

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.
