Excellent Tax Advise/Preparation For Complex Expat Filing Requirements

My wife and I are expats. Our tax situation had become very complex. I contacted Andrew by email and he called right away. He and his staff addressed numerous questions related to our tax situation, saved us some money and filed our return and FBAR correctly and on time. I would recommend his firm fo...r any American residing abroad that has a complicated tax situation.

INCREDIBLE INTERNATIONAL TAX ATTORNEY

I have worked with many attorneys in my professional life and I have never come across such an outstanding attorney all around. He deeply cares about getting the best outcome for his clients and has the wealth of knowledge to tackle the major tax issues head on. I was in all sorts of a mess with fo...reign account filings that were very hard issues to solve. Andrew knew exactly what to do and his work ethic and expertise is incomparable. I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough for any international tax issues. He is a serious star and I’m so grateful for his assistance that other lawyers struggled with.

Helpful

Andrew personally called us back and answered some tax questions we had! He was very helpful and took the time to explain things in a way that put our minds at ease and did so at no charge to us. We appreciate his time and would consider hiring him in the future if the need arose...thank you Andrew...!

Diligent and Transparent

My husband and I were desperately looking for advice regarding a tax concern. When I got in touch with Andrew he was patient, courteous, and explained everything in detail. After talking to several attorneys regarding my my matter, I can say with confidence that Andrew has been the most transparent, ... and provided the peace of mind that my family needed. His initial consult was 100% free; there were no hidden charges. Andrew answers his own phone calls so you know he is dedicated. Andrew really does look out for your best interest even if it turns out that you may not need legal help.

RUDE & ARROGANT

do not go to this man for anything. he is so so so rude and condescending. Dude, I am hiring YOU, not the other way round. the questions he asks are fine but the tone of his voice is so arrogant and just rude. when I called him out on it he said "I was just being straightforward" EXCUSE YOU! I have s...poken to a number of lawyers over the past 3 weeks some much much bigger than you and none of them have ever made me feel like you did, every single one of them has been patient and respectful. Andrew seems like he knows it all and seemed like he had presumptions about my paperwork. he was every impressed that certain forms had been filed and even complemented the fact that they were filed correctly. he lost his marbles when I told him they were filed internationally and started yelling at me "why on earth would someone do that? why on earth did you think that was a good idea!?" when i told him I didn't like the tone if his voice and asked why are you being so rude... his response- "I am trying to figure out your paperwork we have less than 60 days" no apology just continued arrogance(while im thinking hey we can file an extension). I told him "sir I mentioned this was the first time I'm trying to find someone in the Bay Area to help me with this, you are being extremely rude, I answered your question and then you keep pressing me with what was I thinking, why on earth nonsense" he had no response he said well I didn't mean to offend you... I said -"well you did, we haven't even met and you choose to talk to me in this way. I don't think I need your services and would like to end this call" and he hung up. I just feel like if you are someone that is providing a SERVICE you need to learn how to serve your customers. be kind, be patient and please do not make your potential clients that are going to pay you feel like you are better than them. Arrogant arrogant man.
