Virtual Consultation Available
I received a Bachelor of Arts (summa cum laude) from the University of Miami. I obtained my law degree (Juris Doctor) from the University of Florida. In addition, I have a Masters of Law in Taxation from the University of Florida.
After graduation I worked for Robert Feinschreiber and Associates before joining the Chief Counsel’s Office of the Internal Revenue Service in Miami. Along with my duties at Chief Counsel's Office, I became a Special Assistant United States Attorney with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami handling all aspects of Bankruptcy Court litigation on behalf of the United States Internal Revenue Service. Since leaving the government I have had my own practice largely focusing in the areas of tax matters before the IRS and bankruptcy. I also handle probate cases, estate planning and the preparation of wills and powers of attorney.
In January 2005 I became an adjunct professor of law at St. Thomas University School of Law. I teach Debtor-Creditor Rights, Bankruptcy, Law Office Management and head the Bankruptcy Clinic. I have also taught Legal Accounting and have been a faculty member since 2012 teaching bankruptcy.
From 2007 to 2010 I served as a commissioner on the Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust.
I am a member of the Florida Bar (Elder Lawyer Committee 2017-2018), the American Bar Association, the South Florida Bankruptcy Bar Association (CARE Commitee member and Judicial Liason Committee), the Coral Gables Bar Assocation, the South Miami Kendall Bar Association, and Florida Lawyers Network (Membership Director). I am admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court, and the United States District Court for the Southern District and the Middle District of Florida.

"I endorse this lawyer. Maggie is a highly knowledgeable tax attorney. As a former attorney with the IRS, she is well positioned to advise her clients on tax matters whether at the level of an actual tax dispute with the IRS or as an advisor to assist businesses in understanding their federal and state tax obligations under the law. I have recommended Maggie to several of my own clients."
"Attorney Abdo-Gomez is an excellent tax, bankruptcy and estate planning attorney. She has a wealth of knowledge in these practice areas, and I was very fortunate to have her as my law professor. I endorse Attorney Abdo-Gomez and wholeheartedly recommend her for all your legal needs."
"It is without hesitation that I endorse Ms. Abdo-Gomez. Magda is knowledgeable and professional. She is highly respected in the legal community and has earned that respect due to her legal acumen and dedication to her clients."

"The tax law community is a small group and you quickly learn who knows their stuff. Magda's answers on Avvo are timely and accurate. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Why? First, if you needed surgery would you go to a surgeon who has done 2 of them or 200? Thus, she has experience which as a result leads to full and complete and accurate advice. Her answers on AVVO demonstrate such knowledge too. Having practiced 29 years and filed over 8,400 persons bankruptcies I appreciate other experienced such attorneys! And great for AVVO too. Second, for those with tax issues, and bankruptcy considerations, accurate bankruptcy tax attorneys are hard to come by..so you will get both if you need such advice. That is crucial as for example some income taxes that may be non dischargeable now will be dischargeable usually in the future at a certain date..a date that must be accurately determined to the day. Thus, I endorse this attorney. Sincerely, Richard D. Granvold Attorney"
