Why Hire a Tax Attorney?

Tax Attorneys are experienced in tax law and have the expertise to defend you from numerous IRS and State Tax Authority actions. Communications to an attorney are confidential and privileged which is very crucial in tax cases. Communications to accountants and enrolled agents are not similarly privileged.One instance in which a tax attorney is your best option is if you have not kept your tax payments up-to-date. Personal problems, business upheavals, and other factors occasionally figure into many people not paying or filing their taxes on time. Tax issues can also be a problem for those who have recently changed their filing status, or for those who are dealing with business taxes.

Reviews

I am a small business owner & Steve was personally recommended to me by a close friend. I have thanked my friend a number of times now for his recommendation!! My challenge was to find an accountant who would work with my company not only to file tax returns but to offer sound business advice for longer term financial planning. Steve has exceeded my expectatons & I would highly recommend his portfolio of financial services to any individual or business organization.

Steve Vasquez is a great TAX Attorney. He provides great advice and is always on top of my tax issues. I’ve been working with Steve for the last several years, and it has always been a terrific experience. He is consistently very responsive on getting back to me regarding any questions or concerns that I ask him, even during the busiest time of the tax season. He is extremely knowledgeable on complex tax situations, including different types of UPS stock options and UPS employee stock purchase plans. I had some company UPS stock shares that I purchased over 15 years ago, but only just sold recently, with both multiple stock splits as well as company acquisitions over those 15 years for those same shares. But Steve was still able to figure out how to handle the stock sale for my tax returns. Steve is also very savvy on how to handle the short sale of homes. For my recent short sale, not only was he able to avoid myself paying taxes on the sale, but he even was able to get me a tax refund instead, on top of that! So incredibly impressive, which I never would have expected! Keep up the great work, Steve! Very impressive and I will always highly recommend you to my friends and colleagues!

Steve has always done a great job with my taxes. Even though I live out of state, I still use him as my tax attorney. He is very reliable and knowledgable.

I’ve worked with Steve on both my personnel and business taxes for a number of years and have always been extremely impressed on how he not only makes the process painless, he is able to think outside the box which has helped me maximize my returns as well. What also makes Steve’s service unique is his ability to seamlessly integrate his law background to assist in my business accounting needs which were pivotal in steering me in the right direction regarding my past businesses. If you are looking for an easy to work with, effective, corporate or private Tax consultant/Tax Law professional, you couldn’t’ find someone more professional and trustworthy as Steve.

I had been dealing w/ the IRS for over a decade and I realized I couldn’t navigate them anymore on my own. Steve made everything very easy to understand, laid out my options and worked w/ me and helped me have my IRS debt reduced. Now, for the first time in over 10 years I don’t worry about garnishment, levies or ominous letters. Thank you guys again, I can’t say it enough.

We have been going to Steve for our tax preparations for years. He and the staff are always a pleasure to talk to. He is never in a hurry to get you out the office so the lawyer client bond is truly defined. This past year he even helped us form a LLC and answered all our questions regarding tax rebates on electric/ hybrid cars to make us more aware on a decision for what car to buy. I have recommed Steve to many of our friends and will continue to do so.

We have been getting our taxes done from Steve for about 10 years. We were living in Northern California when our daughter recommended Steve we drove to Santa Ana and have never regretted it. We now live in AZ and drive to Southern CA to get our taxes done. We completely trust Steve to look out for best interest. When you are in the office Steve and his wife make you feel like so comfortable and Steve is very professional and compassionate.

I went to Steve a few years ago and he was able to look my tax returns the previous year when I used someone else and he was able to get me back even more of a refund. Steve is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough when it comes to preparing my taxes. I highly recommend him!

Steve Vasquez is skilled and experienced as well as helpful and caring. He helped maximize the deductions for my small business and minimize my tax burden. In the last couple years I went through a difficult time financially and I split with my ex. Lots of complexity but Steve managed to find me refunds that exceeded any tax burden. He really cares about his clients.

Had the pleasure of going back to Mr. Vazquez and his great staff again this year for my taxes. Always a great experience, very very professional and of course always so knowledgeable!! Thank you to Mr. Vazquez and his office for the easy process and always being so attentive with me. I really appreciate it! Until next year!!

Veronica Hernandez

I cant recommend Steve enough for your personal or biz tax needs. Been going to him for 15 years now. Very attentive to your needs and treats you like family.

Jarrett Valenti

I first hired Steve nearly 10 years ago. As a Tax man he is far and away above the rest. He is detail minded, he knows the law, he places you first and he talks with you – not at you. I have also used the Law offices of Luis (Steve) Vasquez. No where will you find a man who knows the law better then Steve. No where will you find an attorney who places your needs and your best interest absoutely above all else. I HIGHLY recommend Steve for any Tax or legal needs you may have.
