Unfortunately, I had a bad experience dealing with this firm. Lack of transparency and communication to clients

I worked with Jeff Greenberg for a complicated and extremely stressful tax issue that involved the FTB and IRS and hiring him was the best decision I made. Jeff is kind and caring and always made time to clearly explain any issues and answer my questions. I was originally referred to a different tax attorney who was an absolute nightmare, however when I met with Jeff everything for my case changed and he resolved my issue quickly. If you're in need of support for an innocent spouse case or anything related to the FTB and/or IRS is your attorney. read more

Greenberg Bitton LLP was recommended to us by our immigration lawyer, Ashoori Law. Pierre, my husband, emailed them with urgent business questions and we had a phone consultation scheduled for the next morning. Gary Bitton is very professional, knowledgeable and responsive. We are very pleased with the service provided and will come back in the future. Thanks Gary for your help! read more

My initial search for a business lawyer started on yelp, and it yielded some impressive results; large firms immediately contacted me with some with 100's of reviews suggesting; "they're the absolute best," "a complete package," and so on, with their quotes adorned with modern and convincing branding. However, Gary took the time to do something none of the others did -- pick up the phone and make sure he knew exactly what we needed for business formation and tailor the quote and charge accordingly. It is refreshing to deal with someone as professional and personable as Gary, and always feel like he's within reach when needed. He completed our LLC formation in about a week and was more than fair on the flat rate as he did a lot of work 'off the books', ranging from web meetings to emails without running up the hours. In the end, if it weren't for his guidance on choosing the right entity, we would have ended up misinformed and looking more than paying for any money we saved elsewhere. Thank you! read more

Gary has saved me and my clients time and time again. I use Gary for my business tax issues, but I also recommend my clients to him when they have a tax and/or business issues. Gary also worked with me through an important acquisition and honestly saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars (and certainly saved me some pain down the road). Gary is dedicated to his craft which is clear by the endless degrees: CPA, JD, MBA...oh, and an LLM in tax law. Beat that. Gary is the guy that small business owners can go to meet nearly all of their needs and get big firm quality advice, boutique firm service, and small firm prices. A serious gem. read more

I'm writing this review based on one phone consultation. Without getting into my personal business I'll just say that this issue is a bit intricate and convoluted. So handling it is delicate. I found this firm on Yelp and submitted a request and in less than 10 minutes an attorney called me back. I explained the situation and he understood me exactly. He not only gave me advice, but explained more clearly the mechanism of the system. He gave me a much better understanding of how to handle my situation. Literally minutes after I spoke with him, I got another phone call from another attorney, from another firm, with whom I'd left a message prior. He was personally referred to me. When I explained my situation to him very succinctly, he wasn't following. I believe I'm a very effective communicator. I had to explain it to him about three times, and I could tell at the end he still wasn't following. He offered no advice, other than to tell me that his fee is $500 an hour and that I need to send him my information to assess. Needless to say that is not happening. So I'm giving Greenberg Bitton five stars because the attorney who called me back (sadly I don't recall his name) was so sharp, so knowledgeable, very patient, and nice, and he gave me great advice. Of course I can't speak to anything else about their firm as this review is based solely upon my phone consult, but one thing I can say, they know their business! read more

I contacted Greenberg Bitton LLP about a niche legal matter that many lawyers had told me they are "not comfortable" taking on due to it being a unique situation that required knowledge of entertainment, business, and tax law. Gary immediately got back to me and offered to take a look at my situation. I sent him some documents (they have a very professional and easy-to-use system for handling documents securely) and we scheduled a call to discuss how to proceed. In that single phone call, he was able to explain the situation clearly in a way other lawyers could not. He made sense of the situation and provided several different ways I could proceed. Ultimately, because of our phone call, I was able to determine that I the best option was to keep things as-is. In short, Gary solved my problem for free in the introductory phone call. I highly recommend Greenberg Bitton LLP. read more

Highly recommend!! Gary is stellar and helped me create an easy and smooth partner separation with a former partner leaving my company. Everything worked out great and I will definitely be using him and his company again in the future for all corporate legal documents and help. read more

This review is long overdue. Gary, from my experience, is the BEST tax attorney around. He is very knowledgable, helpful and clear about explaining your options. After meeting him for the first time, you feel like he is part of your family and you experience a level of comfort and confidence in him. We have used other tax attorneys throughout the years but none came close to the level of professionalism and care that Gary provided. I highly recommend Gary Bitton and his firm. read more

Highly recommend this firm! Gary was attentive, fast, and very reliable to get paperwork done. Not only that but answered many nuances that I had with my company. I'll definitely be sticking around this firm for in the future! read more

Highly recommended! Response time: immediately Phone consultation with Gary: professional, knowledgeable, patient and kind I am a first-time home buyer needed some legal advice about wiring money overseas. Gary responded very quickly to set up the phone call. He is very professional, knowledgeable, straightforward, patient and kind. Absolutely recommend! Very fortunate to find the firm and will definitely reach out to them again! read more

I owed quite a bit in taxes from 2012 and also had a lien recorded with the county. It took over a year, but Jeff and his team were able to help me secure an offer in compromise. Very professional, reassuring, and competent. Now I can move on with my life. I highly recommend them. read more

Very responsive. I called to get some advice about capitol gains tax, but wasn't able to reach anyone initially (maybe I didn't let it ring long enough) however, I was called back immediately. My questions were answered. read more

Gary is an awesome lawyer and will take care of your problem quickly! I had questions about the Business Tax Renewal Certificate (BTRC) and found him via a Google Search. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and confident. I felt very taken care of and that I could trust him. I highly recommend! read more

Gary is very knowledgeable and not just as many people in this area he knows theory, but he got in depth on the ground experience. And he nail down exactly to the point what we needed, not cookie cutter replies. read more

Jeff Greenberg was absolutely outstanding, professional, personable and knowledgeable! These guys are the best! Highly recommended!

I literally just got off the phone with them and I am so impressed that they listen to me and we're very honest about how they did not specialize in my specific case but took down my information so that they could reach out to their network and have somebody who does reach out to me. That is so amazing to me read more

The quintessential professional--Gary went above and beyond our needs. Our situation was uniquely difficult and Gary stayed poised and objective oriented. He really took the time to understand our plight and took sincere interest in helping. He's a skilled orator and cool headed which was especially needed in our case. He kept emotion on the sideline and provided tons of insightful case precedents both from his personal and professional life. He did a great job handling us as a client and knew the best ways to present information to us in times of heated exchanges with the counterpart in our case. In what was a fairly traumatic legal crossroads for us--Gary was certainly a guiding light and voice of reason. He brought a human touch that was very much needed and appreciated in every aspect. About half way through Gary told us he was motivated by positive impact on others--something that was self evident to us at that point. Having him as our legal counsel was really exactly what we needed. We asked for permission to be his friend haha. He was just that obviously concerned for our well being in a time of need. Our situation that had us cross paths was one of extreme difficulty but was eased by having an attorney that was able to understand the full scope of the situation in just a few short hours. Being understood is a stress relief and made for a more streamlined legal process. We knew Gary had teeth if he wanted to. He knew when to dance and not box. Most importantly, he stayed focused and never sidelined with unnecessary energy. Thanks for being our lawyer, confidant, and most importantly our newfound friend. read more

Jeff Greenberg and Gary Bitton are good men and fair people, experts in helping with business formation and navigating all of the complexities of tax law and tax liability. I recommend them to professionals looking to start their own business or looking to evaluate their tax liability under current circumstances, whatever they may be! read more

I was searching for a tax attorney and called Gary. He was busy but his secretary was SUPER friendly. Took my name and information for a FREE consultation. I figured that I would get a rush job of a call back. Wrong. Gary called back pretty quickly and answered questions, gave thoughtful responses and made me feel at ease..FOR FREE! I was truly impressed at the time he took and the imformation provided. He earned my confidence, and business, with his willingness to answer my questions. This is how business should be done. read more

Submitted a consultation request and was able to connect with Gary the same day. He answered my individual tax question in a clear & concise manner while being very polite & professional. Additionally he provided additional tax advice on his own accord. There was zero sense of him selling his services which I appreciated. This was an excellent consultation experience and I look forward to working with him moving forward. read more

If there was more stars, I would give Gary at least 20 stars. I had an issue with my LLC and had asked my real estate agent for a professional real estate attorney in California (I live in NY). Less than half an hour, I receive a call from Gary. I explained to him my issue that I had with my LLC in CA and immediately he understood everything and very thoroughly and in a very simple English he explained the solution. He even gave me some money saving tips and advise that almost nobody else that I had talked to (at least 6 other people), had given me. Unlike other people, he didn't try to take advantage of my situation and sway me to hire him for something that I could easily solve myself. He could have easily directed me toward hiring him and spending top money with him, but Gary is an honest, stand up, real professional with integrity and that's where he gets 20+ stars. Looking forward to work with him in the future and I won't stop bragging about him to my friends and family or anyone that I come across. I highly recommend him to anyone with tax issues. Once again, thank you very much Gary for your assistance and honesty. You went above and beyond. A.F.R read more

I did just an initial consultation with Gary. During our conversation, I found Gary not only straightforward and detailed in his explanations, but he showed a profound understanding and flexibility for my needs. The breadth of his experience (from having so many degrees and experiences) makes him a perfect one-stop shop for many individuals. read more

Love this company, very professional and go straight to the point. I took them for a couple of tax and contract questions however now I go directly to them for any problem. AAA+ read more

Gary, I cannot thank you enough for your time and your professionalism!

You are certainly a blessing to anyone in need of help with taxes and real state law. Keep up the great work! Thank you!! read more

I am grateful to Mr. Bitton and Co for helping me and my wife deal with our business as we had some difficulties with a business partner. We started a business several years ago, things took a bad turn and we felt lost as what to do as this was our first time owning a business. I was referred by a friend to Gary and he helped us out tremendously with questions, directing us on steps we should take and also checked in with us at one point when things got tough, always there for us. Highly recommend to give them a shot should you happen to need tax advice. read more

I had tax issues and was referred to this firm by a family friend. I couldn't be happier! Jeff and his team resolved the issues very promptly. I would highly recommend that you reach out for any tax issues that you may have. Thank you Jeff! read more

I had a sales tax audit by the CDTFA and was in over my head. I found this firm through Yelp and I'm very happy I reached out! They were able to resolve the audit with a very favorable outcome, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. I hope I never have to go through another audit, but, if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to retain this firm again. Thank you! read more

Gary is a great guy. I came to him for a situation I had with the FTB and Gary reassured me everything would be taken care of and it was. Gary kept me aware of everything that was going on and how it was resolved. He's also helped me set up my business license the correct way. When Covid hit Gary assisted me with secure my PPP loan which is amazing as I would have been completely lost doing so on my own. Gary has always been there when i've needed him - be it through text, email, or on the phone with kind hello and all the right answers. Long story short GBLLP are the guys!! read more

Gary was extremely helpful in guiding me through the process of what an LLC fee/tax breakdown entails. He is knowledgable and understands the ins and outs of the best procedures possible for you. Make sure you talk to him before doing anything tax related! read more

I had a dispute with my prior landlord and needed help from an attorney in order to resolve it. I was referred to Jeff from one of my friends and couldn't be happier! We got the result we wanted and I'm finally able to move on. I would highly recommend this firm for any real estate matter. read more

Amazing results and very professional! We had a business that had problems with the FTB and we were struggling with sales tax and liability. When we contacted Jeff, from day one he helped us feel comforted that our issues were going to be handled. They were courteous and walk this through all of the steps to help us reach our goals. They are extremely talented and very knowledgeable and tax and controversy. I would highly recommend them. Aside from being professional and very smart attorneys, they are also genuinely nice people to know. read more

SO helpful and knowledgeable. HIGHLY recommend for all your complicated tax needs. Absolute lifesaver

I have no knowledge about the laws whatsoever. When I received court papers this morning I had no idea what I should do. All the lawyer offices were closed and as I was beginning to lose hope I saw that this office was opened. (I called on Saturday around 9:30 am) I got on the phone with a lawyer named Gary. He was super nice in answering all my questions and gave me ease very quickly. Although I still have to work things out and go to court but with his help I have no problem at all. Thank you so much! read more

Incredible. I called today and spoke to Gary about a potential tax problem, and let him know I was unclear of the guidelines and how to proceed. He spoke to me for about a half hour, and then made a call on my behalf to the correct tax division, to get the information we needed, called me back to let me know how to proceed. Thankfully, everything worked out ok, but not only did he not charge me, he also went ahead to follow up with a call to see how I got on. Will use them and happily refer them to anyone needing tax advice. read more

Greetings, I had an issue with FTB and called Greenberg Bitton for help. I spoke directly with Jeff, the managing partner, who took the time to listen to my situation and even told me exactly what I should do to resolve the problem on my own. Moving forward, if I have any additional tax issues, I'll definitely reach out to Jeff. Thank you! read more

I would like to post this review because I had a tough period during those last 6 months and my lawyer Mister Bitton helped me a lot. He listened to me, advised me and guided me like nobody ever did.

The best tax attorneys ever! Very happy with the service provided and the result. They even got me a penalty refund that was completely separate from the matter being handled!
