About Anne
Biography
I was born in Ohio and raised just outside Washington, DC in Lanham, Maryland. I returned to Ohio to attend Ohio University; where I graduated Cum Laude and was a member of Golden Key International Honour Society and Lambda Pi Eta Communication Honor Society. In addition, I was honored to be named an Ohio University Outstanding Senior Leader.
Prior to my legal career, I worked in nonprofit fundraising for the San Diego Repertory Theatre and as a human resources professional for Capital One Financial Services.
Almost ten years after I completed my undergraduate studies, I enrolled at California Western School of Law. While attending California Western, I was invited to compete as a member of the trial team and the American Bar Association's National Appellate Advocacy Competition team. I was selected as an Honors Instructor for legal research and writing courses, received the Dean’s Merit Scholarship, and was named a Distinguished Advocate for my First Place finish in the First Year Appellate Competition.
After completing my Juris Doctor, I attended Northwestern University School of Law; where I received a Master of Laws in Taxation, and won First Place in the LL.M. Division of the American Bar Association's Law Student Tax Challenge.
Upon graduation, I worked for the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers in the area of International Tax Services. I advised multinational clients in a variety of industries on complicated domestic and international tax matters. Today, I am the owner of Rábago Law and an attorney licensed to practice in the states of California and Texas.
I stay active in the San Diego legal community as a volunteer attorney with the Legal Aid Society's Low Income Taxpayer Clinic and a member of the San Diego County Bar Association. I am the Vice President of Finance for the Chi Omega Alumnae Group of San Diego and serve as an Alumnae Advisor to the Chi Omega Chapter at the University of California, San Diego. I am also a member of the Board of Directors of the East Village Association Business Improvement District; where I chair the Marketing and Membership Committee. In my spare time, I can generally be found enjoying the sights and sounds of San Diego's East Village. I am an avid craft beer enthusiast and enjoy traveling abroad with my husband.

She works exclusively with attorneys to save time and money, ensuring that you can give your clients the treatment and attention they deserve."
"I have known Anne-Marie for several years. She is a suburb lawyer who is very active in the community. She has helped me organize and prepare my business taxes for the last several years and I trust her immensely. I would not hesitate to refer my fellow attorneys to her for tax and business advice."
"Anne Marie's wealth of knowledge in tax law and regulation is truly impressive. She is establishing herself as an authority on tax law, advice, and preparation in San Diego. I highly endorse this lawyer."
"Anne Marie did an expert job providing tax advice and legal services for the San Diego Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association when I was the chapter's treasurer.

I am thankful for her hard work and pleased to endorse her as a tax attorney."
"I highly recommend Ms. Rabago for anyone with tax related problems."
"Anne Marie is extremely knowledgeable regarding all things tax-related! She always provides a thoughtful and thorough response whenever I have questions. In addition, I have sent several referrals her way and have always received high praise as to her tax knowledge and responsiveness. I give her my highest recommendation!"
"Anne Marie provides sound and realistic advice regarding business formation and tax consequences. I recommend her services without hesitation. Rarely do tax attorneys prepare your taxes also, but having Anne Marie do so guarantees you will have less problems with the IRS. You can't get that peace of mind when you only use a CPA!"
"Anne-Marie is an exceptionally knowledgeable and professional tax attorney. While she usually has the answers in hand to all of my tax questions, for the few she doesn't, she is quick to research and provide a thorough response. I feel very comfortable leaving my tax related matters in Anne-Marie's hands and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for tax advice or preparation done right the first time."
"Anne Marie is the go to attorney when it comes to tax. She is so knowledgeable in what is arguably the most complex area of American law. Anne Marie is a brilliant attorney who does a great job explaining how tax issues affect small businesses and individuals alike. If you have a tax question, Anne Marie is the person to see."
"Anne Marie is head and shoulders above any accountant/CPA I have ever met. She is able to provide a more in-depth tax solutions for individuals and businesses. I strongly recommend her."
"Anne Marie is a small business person's dream. She provides skilled counsel on varying business and tax issues and doubles as your CPA. She helps you maximize your savings and educates you on how to push them even further. She got me through lots of tough decisions when I was starting my business and I'm sure she can do the same for everyone else."
"Anne Marie is an amazing tax attorney! Her thorough knowledge of tax laws and regulations never ceases to amaze me. She is a one-stop-shop for tax advice and business planning, return preparation, and assistance in tax disputes. In addition, she is incredibly responsive, friendly, and great to work with. I would recommend her to anyone needing tax help!"
"Tax law is one of those areas that is rife with charletons and snake-oil salesmen. All of whom promiss to deliver the world, and most of whom never even take the time to meet or talk with their clients. I know Anne-Marie to be first, a very good attorney and very knowledgeable in her subject area. I know she attends continuing learning events very often and even publishes guides and informative blogs on changes in the law. She also volunteers her time to give clinics to consumers on her area of law. Anne Marie is also dedicated to her community and is often seen volunteering at Community events. I would have no hesitation in providing an endorsement for Anne Marie. I refer her clients often, and always hear positive responses from them."
