Great Labor Attorney When Is Comes to Audits

I cannot stress enough the importance of having a great accountant and attorney in one, especially for one's business needs. Alvaro is IT! He was able to bail my business out not only from one but two audits for my business in just one year! Audits are stressful and unpleasant, and Alvaro managed t...o make things so "smooth sailing." Of course, no attorney would help you if you are not doing things by the book. But, Alvaro's experience and professional expertise made a difference in my audit experiences! I highly recommend this wonderful individual and professional to everyone who needs a solid accounting and legal advice.

Business Consultation & Tax Implications

I hired Alvaro at first for a consultation, related to the tax implications of bringing a business to florida from abroad. As Alvaro clear me the possibilities available and advantages, it came to be the best option to do the incorporation process along with his firm and assistance. I cannot be more ...satisfied with the excellent advice, knowledge and job done by his team.

Great services!

I met Mr. Alvaro Acevedo after looking at his profile in Avvo because I was looking for a firm that could help me with the dissolution of my company. When Mr. Acevedo made the review of all the documents we had of the company, he noticed we didn’t file tax returns from previous years for the company ...and the partners. His firm prepared and presented all the necessary documents and forms to resolve our tax situation and avoid a legal process with the IRS. I appreciate Mr. Acevedo for his help, excellent work, and his kind interest in us.

International Tax Attorney

I needed to file y taxes for year 2017 but also had problems with period tax returns and never dealt with the IRS before. I was so scared, IRS can be so intimidating. Went into the office, the office is very pretty. The employees are very nice and you feel so welcome. Alvaro A. Acevedo took his time ...to explain me the situation and study my case. I will always be grateful for his work and to make me feel like an important client. Will always return to file my taxes or if have any other problem with the IRS. Also, they offer international tax services. This is amazing.

IRS Tax Issues

Let me just first say first Alvaro is the most honest and professional attorney I have ever met. Having dealt with many other attorneys in Miami, that is a huge compliment coming from me. I way was referred to Alvaro by a friend when the IRS came knocking at the door looking to collect Hundreds of... Thousands of Dollars and with agents ready to perform a "Comprehensive Audit" of any and all my business and personal finances. Pretty much a nightmare scenario. Alvaro been a tax attorney and a CPA (yes he's a CPA as well) , was able to prepare, document and manage the entire audit process (10 months) while interacting with the IRS agents on my behalf. His presence along with his wealth of knowledge, put those agents in a different mood as they understood that they were not going to get their pound of blood so easily. Long Story short, The audit was completed and the "fines" where a tiny fraction of what the IRS was originally looking for. Alvaro managed to negotiate a payment plan and enable me to move on with my life. Since then, Alvaro has become my head legal counsel and provided me with tons valuable legal and tax advice. Having Alvaro and his team in a retainer agreement allows me to sleep well at night. PS: The original IRS audit was the result of me following advise from the wrong person. As the old say goes.."You get what you pay for"
