5 star service

I hired Scott to help me with a large business debt. From the start he was very professional. When I came to his office he was personable and extremely knowledgeable about all business laws. He explained all of my options in ways I could understand. He would always answer my calls with any questions... promptly. I always felt like he was on my side regarding my case. I am so glad I hired him. His knowledge and expertise saved me THOUSANDS!!

Exceptional Tax Attorney

I made tax mistakes as a 1099 contract worker several years ago and got myself into a brutal situation. I contacted Attorney Scott Bartkus and he immediately understood my problem and netted out options for me. Due to his depth of experience, Scott was able to choose the best path forward for me an...d my situation and finally put my mind at ease. Scott seems to be able to anticipate the IRS's every move and his personable and confident demeanor is very refreshing and explains everything in a way that is very easy to understand. His business savvy also is a huge help when negotiating with the IRS and was able to get me the very best deal possible. These situations are never easy and mine was as bad as any, but Scott consistently gave my case attention and I never had to wait for a reply, a phone call back, or left wondering for any reason. He is incredibly responsive, professional, talented - and probably most important of all - he is a brilliant guy to have in your corner. If you are struggling with the IRS in any way - Call Attorney Scott Bartkus - I guarantee it the be the best move you can make.

Great tax attorney

Attorney Scott Bartkus was very knowledgeable in the field of tax issues. He settled with the IRS for a fraction on what they claimed I owed. Always returned my calls and had all the answers to my questions. Would highly recommend him!

Truth and justice wins out over the IRS audit

From our first meeting with Scott, we KNEW we had the right man to fight the IRS on our behalf. Our own attempts and then arbitration failed, but Scott knows exactly how to successfully reason with them and truth and justice won! He is very knowledgeable and tenacious - the perfect lawyer on your tea...m!!

Healthcare

As a healthcare provider I have always used a CPA firm to monitor my business, yet have been audited by the IRS multiple times. As a result over several years, I ended up owing over $300,000 dollars in taxes and penalties. Even though the firms I hired were reputable, it seemed that they were unable ...to resolve these tax issues to my satisfaction with the IRS. Out of desperation, I hired Scott Bartkus, Esq., MBA to help me with these issues. In my career, I have met at least one new person as as a patient every working day for the last thirty years. When I met Scott I knew that even if he couldn't help me, he had put me at ease. He is a people person, one who truly cares about others and wants to help them to the best of his ability. Over time I learned how knowledgeable, forthright, and especially gifted he is as a tax and business attorney. The added value is his MBA experience. In my opinion, he is a specialist. In time, he was able to resolve my tax issues and not once did I ever have to communicate or speak directly to the IRS. I can recommend him without reservation. After all that time of IRS frustration, he helped me find peace. Robert
