“When a legal issue seems insurmountable you have no time to test an attorney’s capabilities on the fly. You need someone who not only understands the law, but also has done this before. Steven M. Simrin is that person.

Both knowledgeable and personable, he made addressing an IRS Audit Appeal issue less stressful, and more focused on resolution.”

“Atty. Simrin, is very reliable. He had shown us his good work. He is very knowledgable and a very approachable Lawyer. He is very Trustworthy and always responded on our calls. He is a very good adviser, and he made sure that he keep us informed about the Problem. We always get the answers for all our questions. We were able to settle with our EDD Taxes because of his help. Presently we are working with him on our Franchise Tax Problems.”

“I contacted Steve about a tax issue that I had and he provided me very helpful advice. In the end, Steve recommended me to another service provider for a solution that was more cost effective to me, even though he could have made easy money. I appreciated the honesty and he genuinely made me feel good about going to see a lawyer, which does not always happen. His office is small and he responds personally.”

“I found Mr. Simrin through a referral service (I think the bar). It was a bit of a gamble trying to find someone diligent and trustworthy, as it always is if you don’t know someone who knows a good attorney. I got lucky here. I hired him in an ongoing trust case in which family members were being difficult. He solved the problems I was facing with the administration of the trust and was able to have it executed in the way it was stated on paper. I would recommend him for sure. Also, a side note, while maintaining regular contact and keeping me informed, he did not bother and pester me with unnecessary questions or paperwork, I very much appreciate that!”
