EXCELLENT LAWYER, CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH

I had to deal with an extremely complex tax question relating to an inheritance I got overseas. I had tried working with at least half a dozen attorneys and CPAs and all I got where vague responses. The real challenge - how to apply US tax law to a foreign scenario - was not being addressed, and when... I prompted them to tell me a proper course of action, they never really committed. It was a horrible and stressful couple of months, until I came across Mishkin and his team. Mishkin took the time to really dig in with me in all aspects relating to the history of the land and the corporation involved, going back to 1981, with multiple legal events intermingled (investment into a company, inheritance, sales, etc..). We reviewed dozens of documents and established a clear picture of all events, based on which we could reliably classify the payments received from the company and thus the correct tax treatment of this money. Mishkin also guided me in a proper strategy to disclose this analysis with the IRS and be protected in case of an audit. He also knew very clearly all the required forms to file regarding other assets received in inheritance (while other lawyers just kept saying to me "you have many forms to file"). Finally, all this work was done in an unbelievably short amount of time, as I only reached out to him for a second opinion with 10 days pending to the submission deadline. In short, I have no words to say how grateful I am that I came across Mishkin. I highly recommend him to anyone. Best Fernando

Responsive and Knowledgeable

My husband and I hired Mishkin to help us resolve a disputed claim with the IRS. His responsiveness to our claim is what I found most impressive. He always kept us informed during the process and was quick to let us know when there would be a potential delay. We felt completely confident that he was ...working for us with our best interest in mind. His trustworthiness and professionalism is what will prompt me to call on him again if ever we need his services.

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.
