Great help!

Mr. Raff quickly answered questions over the phone regarding a convoluted domestic and international tax situation. In just one short call, we got answers and a path forward. His knowledge was obvious, his professionalism clear, and his answers pithy. I am confident and will reach out to Mr. Raff ...in the future to help with our tax issues.

Highly Recommended

Thrilled to have found Michael to represent my tax issue with the Illinois Department of Revenue. Michael was able to resolve things in a matter of weeks on an issue I had been contesting for years. Additionally, Michael was enjoyable to work with, always showed great attention to detail and was know...ledgeable about my legal options. Would recommend highly without hesitation.

Exceptional Tax Attorney

Michael is an exceptional attorney with deep knowledge of tax law. He is honest, attentive, and comprehensive. Michael graciously leveraged his knowledge and strong relationships to secure a favorable outcome for my husband and me. I highly recommend Michael to anyone in need of assistance with ta...x law or tax controversy.

Outstanding Service

Michael assisted me with a tax issue from a few years ago. He was prompt, timely, and successfully resolved the matter. I would recommend Michael to anyone facing tax challenges/issues.

Great Service - Helped tremendously with my Coinbase 1099K Issue

Michael is great. His team was successfully able to resolve my Coinbase 1099k tax issues. The IRS claimed that owed them half a million dollars (true amount was under $5,000)! I spoke with a few other lawyers and they planned on going straight to tax court. Michael and his team were able to resolve ...my issue WITHOUT tax court. This undoubtingly saved me thousands of dollars, time and worry. Appreciate your help Michael.

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.
