We engaged Andreozzi Bluestein LLP after battling with New York State on a residency issue for several years. After incurring substantial legal fees, our former attorneys suggested that we try to settle with New York State for deficiencies in tax totaling nearly half a million dollars. The attorneys at Andreozzi Bluestein evaluated our case, determined that they could effectively represent us in the litigation, and were able to develop our legal and factual positions such that they secured a full concession from the State on the issue. They were very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable and confident about our case.

My business ran into problems when our office manager, unbeknownst to me, stopped paying withholding taxes a number of years back. This resulted in a very large tax problem for not only my company, but for me personally. Significant interest and penalties left little hope of a deal with the IRS. My accountant referred me to Andreozzi Bluestein, who dug right in to help. Andreozzi Bluestein worked diligently to work out an offer that the IRS would ultimately accept, and we were thrilled with the result that allowed us to completely satisfy our tax debt. Throughout this difficult time, the entire staff at Andreozzi Bluestein was first class. I will be eternally grateful for the service I received from Gary, Heather and Ruth, and can’t recommend them enough.

Two specific situations with new clients come to mind where their experience greatly helped achieve a positive result….one, they successfully worked through the Offer in Compromise process and were able to significantly reduce the Taxpayers Liability. The other, they were able to obtain significant reductions in late filing penalties on a Gift Tax Filing situation. I’ve found all of the individuals that I’ve worked with at Andreozzi Bluestein to be focused and efficient while remaining fair and sensitive with their fees. I would not hesitate to call on them again and would definitely recommend them to my clients should the need arise.
