Testimonials
I have been a client of Ellyn Tanenberg, Attorney at Law, for several years. As such, I have repeatedly been impressed with her knowledge of tax law; ability to identify, focus on and resolve tax-related issues; and her level of integrity as it regards doing what is in the best interests of her client.
In order to fully understand my appreciation of her capabilities, it's important that you understand the situation surrounding my tax issue (which is now completely resolved). When I first met with Attorney Tanenberg, I had an outstanding tax issue with the IRS which approximated six figures. As you can imagine, this dilemma was causing me a great deal of stress. To further complicate matters, the nature of my work requires that I travel overseas approximately 70-85% of the time. This made it very difficult if not impossible for me to deal with the IRS on a consistent basis. Needless to say, my efforts to personally resolve the situation were fruitless. I also had obtained other legal advice which basically led me down the same road.
Upon meeting with Ellyn, I was immediately impressed with her. She asked good questions regarding my tax problem in order to understand the situation, she began to plot a strategy that would address my dilemma, and throughout the 3 year endeavor, she did the following:
- displayed an exception level of knowledge and technical skill regarding her field of practice,
- proved to be very precise and detail oriented (when negotiating with the IRS, this indeed a positive;
- showed an extraordinary capability to stay on top of the many issues and deadlines associated with my case, and;
- was able to work with me and my busy traveling schedule.
I am very happy to state that my tax issue is completely resolved. At this point in my life I definitely can say that I have a very bright future ahead of me. As a direct result of resolving the tax issue, I was able to:
- clean up my credit history completely (which was very poor as a result of my outstanding tax debt and liens),
- purchase a home, and;
- basically put my financial house in order.
I can now look forward and pursue my goals and plans vigorously without looking back. I must admit, life appears much more pleasant after having the burden of my tax issue lifted from my shoulders.

I have had Ellyn Tanenberg as my attorney and CPA for a while. She always makes sure that I am fully informed about tax law. She fully explains any options and always keeps more informed via telephone or email. Without her continued help, I probably would be significantly worse off than I am right now. If you need an attorney, who is also a CPA, she would the first person I would recommend. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Most years, I think, I can do my own taxes. For those other years, though, Ellyn Tanenberg definitely has come to my rescue. She took my initial thoughts on how best to respond to an IRS audit of one year's Schedule E losses and built them into a winning presentation. Ms. Tanenberg combines the all-essential attentiveness to detail with a willingness to explore - and use - unusual strategies and arguments where they prove appropriate under the facts and the law. I recommend her highly.
