A lifesaver

I became overwhelmed in a tax situation and was at my wits end. I was referred to Mr. Mishkin, which turned out to be the best thing that could possibly have happened. In ONE sitting, Jonathan cut to the chase, figured out what the so-called 'expert' CPAs had done wrong, and in less than three weeks... we have averted a potential disaster. I cannot recommend Mr. Mishkin enough; he is a gentleman to deal with, extremely astute, a consummate professional.

Understands the subtleties

Jonathan Mishkin has been helping my family with complex estate issues and always has the right suggestions to address them. He understands the subtleties of relations between members of the family and is able to take that into account in his planning and recommendations. We've come to rely on him fo...r counsel on non-estate issues as well, such as managing interactions with a recalcitrant rehabilitation center and overseeing the activation of a long-term-care insurance policy. To summarize, he seems to see the big picture and the details it implies, and knows how to negotiate viable, acceptable solutions.

A Good Lawyer Experience

Was referred to Jonathan to handle a tax case involving the IRS and a family business. Jonathan jumped in right before the holidays and put together a thorough, effective appeal that resulted in the IRS dropping the case. Jonathan was very good at keeping us informed on his thinking for the case an...d his strategy. He was very responsive to our questions and concerns. We felt he made effective use of our time and money and wasn't just "nickel and diming" us. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with an attorney.

Tax Help

Jonathan was able to step in very quickly and provided us with a complete and through protest on an IRS tax case. His knowledge and experiance of the tax laws was no doubt the reason for our successful protest. He was very open and honest in his communications and willing to listen to our needs and ...concerns. I would highly recommend Jonathan to help with your needs.

Jonathan knows his subject. He brings well-informed opinions to the table, and he writes amazingly articulate documents. He is patient with questions and very responsive with deadlines. I trust him to take care of my needs and represent me whenever I need legal support.
