Highly Recommended

I had very difficult IRS issue to say the least, from the first day I walk into the RJS office I could feel the weight being lifted. Ronnie and his team were there for me through out the whole process which took almost 2 years, not once did I feel I was in the fight alone. The professional service ...they proved over and over again. I have had other things in the past that required me to seek professional guidance and not once have I received the same care and understanding of me and my situation that Ronnie and his team gave (100%) at a time when I needed. Dealing with the IRS at any level can be a very scary place, I truly thank God for bring RJS law to my rescue because in so many ways thats what they did. If you thinking of who you should be hiring for your situation I would strongly recommend you sit down with Ronson or anyone of the team, and talk it through. If your like me and need that extra attention you will find it here, they don't miss phone calls and your email will be responded to immediately and if there is no resolution and you have to go to face the judge the experience and knowledge is there to defend you, a lot of Attorneys say they can do this until you get to that point and then they can't, they either don't have the experience or the knowledge or the Balls to see it through, RJS does. This should have been written awhile ago, sorry it hasn't been because they truly deserve it.

Best Tax Attorney in SD

Owning multiple businesses, I called RJS LAW with my EDD matter that I feared would be terribly complicated because it appeared the EDD was transposing two of my businesses’ addresses. Prior to receiving a notice, a few agents from the EDD came to my place of business while I was not there and interv...iewed my employees searching for potential problems. I worked with brilliant attorneys Ronson Shamoun and Quinn Disparte along with his law clerk Marisol on this matter and I felt like I was in great hands with them. I did not have to stress once I gave them the documents they requested, they were very thorough following up with me, and walked me through the entire process. I had never experienced anything like this with the EDD and I was not sure what to expect. The outcome was better than I could have ever expected with reasonable fees charged to me from RJS LAW.

BEST TAX ATTORNEY

I was impressed by the responsiveness, energy, and commitment of RJS Law. The attorneys responded to my emails and phone calls within 24 hours or less. It is clear the lawyers in this firm enjoy what they're doing. They were strong advocates and never stopped fighting to get the best results. They sh...owed me they cared because they always took the time to explain to me what was happening and the next steps of the case. They wanted to ensure I was comfortable and informed with the progress of my case. RONSON SHAMOUN and ASHLEY KERINS prepared extensively for the key appearance in the case and brought strong arguments to the table. The arguments were reasonable and clearly reflected my opinion. In the end, the case outcome was impressive and the fee was more than reasonable. I may have fared worse had another legal firm taken on the case. I would definitely work with RJS LAW again in the future.

Wisest decision you could make!

I am forever grateful to Ronnie and Chandara and everything they did for me in preparing and getting approval on an Offer in Compromise. I have no doubt that it is because of their knowledge, diligence, and continual hard work that my offer was accepted. Choosing to let them help you truly is the ...smartest decision you can make. If you're reading this, know that you've landed in exceptionally good hands, you need look no further, and they WILL take care of you throughout the whole process. Chandara was always available to answer any questions I had, or instruct me on what I needed to do, and was always on top of things, making sure nothing was left undone. I trusted her implicitly. I feel truly blessed that someone referred me to them. My offer was not an easy one, and throughout the process I was continually impressed with their ability to get things done. They truly are exceptional!

Excellent Experience!!!

I just have to get the word out about RJS Law. They are amazing! They saved my financial life! Actions speak VOLUMES so let me just say straight out these wonderful people reduced my IRS debt from over $40,000 down to a jaw-dropping $300!!!!!!!!! That's three hundred dollars! They were able to... reduce my state debt from $15,000 down to $1000. The state, I was told, hardly ever settles so I was really shocked when they both were approved. They advertise 100% success rate and Roni is adament about keeping that record. He took the time to explain the process of an Offer In Compromise and what I could realistically expect. They far exceeded my expectations. At first I was tempted to call one of those companies you see advertising on TV, but I was leery about trusting someone I couldn't look in the eye. So I did some research and I actually met with a few other attorneys. Their relaxed, straight-forward approach sold me on RJS Law. My consultation with Jonathon set my mind at ease. He was not pushy, he made me feel comfortable and actually encouraged me to shop around. After I signed up I was assigned to the lovely Chandara whose professionalism and timeliness is impeccable. She worked diligently and always kept me in the loop. And then there's Roni, what a cool, calm reassuring, understanding person. When it came down to it, he was willing to work with me on monthly payments that would fit my budget. I cannot say enough about this law firm. They promised and came through, that is rare these days. Starting this new chapter in my life with a clean slate feels so amazing, I no longer have that lingering cloud of worry over my head. I'm telling you don't waste your time with anyone else, call them and get started. My case started November 1st and I was done by May.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ronnie has been a tremendous pleasure to work with over the last several years. He is one of the toughest, most skilled negotiators that I have ever known and is a tireless advocate on behalf of his clients. Ronnie never gives up on a client's matter and exhausts all options in order to get them the best resolution possible. Also, having worked with him on several high profile corporate disputes, I can say that Ronnie routinely bested attorneys with twice as much experience and is often considered the expert in the room when amongst counsel. He is a true giant in the San Diego tax community and a true asset to our profession. I would highly recommend his services."
