Senior Level Underwriter

I was in the market to buy a house and because 2021 was a buyer's market, many were at the mercy of the sellers and agent. I was all set to purchase a home (at an inflated price of course ) when I noticed that my ageant slipped in a substantial undisclosed fee on my final loan estimate. I discovered... the fee and asked that it be removed. The ageant refused so I backed out of the deal. I subsequently contacted Attorney Peter J Mancini and for a very small incremental fee, he gave me some excellent advise as to how I could possibly recover my EMD. He patiently listened as I explained all of the details. He then took a substantial amount of time to explain all of the PRO'S and CON'S of my case and he did this in a very kind and empathetic way. He was also extremely articulate so I left the conversation with no doubt as to how to proceed. Needless to say, I followed his advise, took the case to small claims court and won the case. Thank you so much Peter J Mancini!!

A Breath of Fresh Air

My family was in need of a tax attorney to help us in regards to foreign account disclosure. After coming off a terrible experience with an attorney who was non-transparent and compensated based on the rather arbitrary process of hourly billing - we decided we needed to find a tax attorney who prior...itized transparency in billing in addition to competency, and we found that with Peter Mancini and PureTax Resolution. To sum our experience up in one word - Compassion! In the most trying of circumstances, we found Peter to be not only comforting in his guidance and direction, but knowledgeable, intelligent, factual and thoroughly efficient. Unlike our prior experience, we never felt rushed and Peter always took the time to explain things in a way that we could understand. He would listen and learn about all the details of our rather complex tax problem. HIs whole demeanor was slow and steady assuring us that we were in good hands. From an execution standpoint, it was clear Peter was up-to-date on the ever changing legal landscape. He was able to identify a change in law that occurred during our time working together, that would lead to us altering our strategy and result in SIGNIFICANT tax savings to us, simply because Peter was informed on the changing legal landscape. From a tactical and bottom-line financial standpoint for us, this was a very important moment and we are very grateful that he caught it. This is a man who commands his field and with a touch of elegance to boot! Thank you Peter for your guidance.

Dual citizenship & IRS tax obligations.

Dual citizenship can add complexity to your IRS tax obligations. IRS International tax rules change occasionally. Your best resource is an International tax attorney like Peter Mancini Esq. Peter has written a detailed letter to IRS on my behalf to waive penalties on my foreign accounts. I was no...t aware of an IRS International FBAR rule which in 2012 became a reporting requirement. My CPA did not practice International tax. He did not ask me probing questions about my income stream which I submitted and disclosed fully. He knew of my foreign income but did not investigate the foreign accounts rules. Peter Mancini Esq. and his accounting team brought my past incorrect tax returns into compliance with IRS International rules on Foreign accounts. I am relieved that Peter’s excellent defense on my behalf gives me peace of mind. Tuula

FBAR Lawyer

I had unknowingly didn't file FBARs to the IRS for my offshore accounts and I'm extremely happy and please with Peter how he was able to help me resolve the issue. Peter is very knowledgeable and was able to help me understand and walk me through the steps needed to remediate my case. Peter is a true... professional and always responsive. I feel thankful to have found Peter and would highly recommend him!

"My experience with Pete is as a colleague and goes back a couple years. I know him as an experienced negotiator of great skill. In reality that skill is what you want your representative to possess as 99% of legal conflicts are resolved without a Court's decision; through negotiation. In this capacity he is knowledgeable, insightful, intuitive, innovative, and tenacious. Exactly the lawyer you need!"
