When I first met Steven Goldburd in 2007 I was facing a tsunami of trouble from the IRS. I was terrified. Mr. Goldburd took charge of the situation, calmed me down and worked out a terrific deal with the IRS and New York State. He’s something of a financial genius. I would recommend him and his firm to anyone and I do. He’s the best.
After interviewing several tax attorneys, I selected Steven Goldburd to represent me in a state payroll tax dispute. Mr. Goldburd is extremely knowledgeable with regards to tax issues, and is a very effective negotiator with state agencies. Mr. Goldburd spent almost an hour with me during our initial consultation, reviewing all my options and building a strategy. He returns calls and emails immediately, and was even able to get prompt and timely collaboration from state representatives, based on his professional reputation. In the end, Mr. Goldburd negotiated a reduction of over $50,000.00 in my amount owed! I would highly recommend Goldburd McCone for any tax-related legal matter.
I cannot thank you enough for the outstanding legal services your provided. Not only were you efficient and professional, but warm, kind, and patient as you explained current, and future, courses of action available to me. I would also like you to know that I will not hesitate to recommend you to friends and colleagues. With warm regards,
