The question what could improve? Mr Milikowsky could return a call, or make a scheduled promised call back. He did neither, he just left us hanging. He did help with filing an injured spouse request with IRS but failed to complete the main objective he was hired to do. He didn't bother to let us know he had quit working on our behalf. His office did promptly bill each month. read more

He is very knowledgeable and helpful and will make you feel comfortable! Highly recommend! Thank you again very much for your time and effort! read more

Milkowsky Tax Law has earned our trust. We received value in the first 15 minutes of talking, and it only got better. John was able to identify a strategy for how my firm should handle an audit by the CA EDD within minutes, helping to save thousands of dollars. While I imagine no one is really excited about working with a tax attorney in defense of an audit, when that day comes, the Milkowsky Tax Law team is and will be our trusted advisor. Thank you John Milkowsky! read more

Our company worked with John Milikowsky for almost one year in a very complicated case involving forgiveness of our PPP loan. There were many times when it seemed like nothing would win our case, however, John was steadfast and persistent in all his efforts to eventually gain our company full forgiveness. We cannot thank John and his team enough for their fierce determination to achieve this successful result and would highly recommend the Milikowsky Tax Law firm for any legal issues. read more

John Milikowsky, Was excellent in his support, and detailed in the next steps we need to take. I have followed those steps and most likely have saved myself hundreds of thousands of dollars. And much stress upset and anguish. Now, the being in front of this PPP thing again. I have a sense of power and a sense of future. Our current legal team was taking a wait and see approach which would've resulted in devastating penalties, fees and collections. John was able to outline what I needed to do next. In just a few minutes and set me on my way. I was truly amazed and thankful we do the same thing for people who call in here and our clients and we really work from a sense of do we know what to do or not. John knew what to do and provided that input immediately. I feel like it's karma and we do so much for others and here to have John get on the line and do the same for us had me be so thankful to God and so happy and so blessed and just so at ease. We moved forward over the past 2 days and it's been huge thank you so much John, your amazing support. read more

I was really looking forward to working with John and the team given they've got fantastic reviews. I reached out, I shared where I was at, I did exactly what they asked me to do, and got excited to establish a relationship with them. Instead, it felt like a high school episode where someone makes promises to be there for you, and instead, you've been stood up. Now, I know that's not a very professional thing to say, but Milikowsky Tax Law had sort of given me the permission to go there because the promises they made had been broken... not once, not twice, but three times. I'll explain... Tues, Oct 8 - initial contact with staff, answered questions over the phone and was asked to submit additional paperwork over email. My thoughts: Fantastic! I'm out of town but will send documents over as soon as I'm back. I'm looking forward to working with you guys. Fri, Oct 18 - I sent the documents and answered some followup questionnaire as request. Tues, Oct 22 - I didn't hear back since the day I submitted the paperwork they requested. I called the office late afternoon. John answered, pulled up my email, and told me he'd review my information and follow up with me later that evening. He didn't call; however, he wrote me an email sharing he'd follow up tomorrow instead. My thoughts: Not a problem! I'm happily looking forward to chatting soon. Thurs, Oct 24 - I haven't heard from John. I sent a friendly follow up email, but received no response. I'm guessing he's probably busy and may have forgotten. I called the office later that day and, sure enough, they told me he's taking on quite a bit. They told me they'll leave him a message and have him get back to me likely by the next day. My thoughts: No worries, I'm just trying to be patient at this point. Wed, Oct 30 - Still, no word from John or the staff. I called the office and decided to express that it's been a while and not hearing from anyone. I even shared how upset I was, and willing to give this a go one last time. A "sorry we aren't able to work with you" would have been totally acceptable and enough to not keep me waiting. At that point, the staff promised me that I'd hear back from John by end of the day, and, if for whatever reason he doesn't get back to me, they would take the matter in their own hands and call me back. You can probably guess what happens next. Thurs, Oct 31 - No one attempted to call or email. I felt shy about writing this review because I really wanted to make this relationship work, and admittingly I was already in the habit of giving more chances than I probably should have. All I'm feeling at this moment right now is hopeful... should I just give them one more chance? If I send this review, will they call me? Well, truth is, there's already enough broken integrity on their end, and if they do take the time to read this Yelp review then it's okay to conclude their time reading Yelp is more important to them than reaching out to me through a simple email or phone call. No one wants to feel stood up, so I've moved on. read more

I was in need of advice quickly and I found john's video on YouTube which prompted my call to his firm. I was pleasantly surprised that he answered the phone himself. He was very patient and listened to my concerns and needs. He explained my options in plain English and he would check to make sure I understood something before moving on in the conversation. He was talking to a perfect stranger but I felt supported as if I had been a long term client. I highly recommend John for his services. read more

Milikowsky Tax Law - Yup... Reserved parking just for clients ! - Tax Law Near Me - Encinitas, California

It is with a very heavy heart that I have to resend my warm recommendation from back in 2/17/2020. It seems like back then Mr. Milikowsky was more available to actually respond to clients and several years later does not have the same availability or interest in continuing his work with certain clients. Whatever his reason was - sadly and unfortunately he drag us for over a month rescheduling appointments again and again, not showing up to booked appointments he set and not responding within set deadlines that he set as promised by him. While we as clients demonstrated patience and flexibility to all the changes and rescheduling done by him - we did this as we wanted to continue to work with him and wanted to get answers to our urgent tax law questions. As a service provider myself I know how overwhelming work can be but it is never advisable to drop off the face of the earth and ignore clients after promising and offering them possible services, making clients invest time in communication, supplying supporting data etc if you don't intend to follow up professionally on the process. However Mr. Milikowsky wishes to conduct his business, it is his right. We wish him the best of luck, however we would advise that if prompt professional response is what you're looking for, to look for another tax lawyer. read more

Attorney Milikowsky was beyond kind... even though they didn't specialize in the area I needed, he literally got in the phone and made calls to his attorney referrals to get me set up with the right attorney. His kindness and empathy was beyond my expectations. He genuinely cared enough to take his own time. Most attorneys won't even take your call until you've been "screened".... Thank you so much!! read more

I have an unusual issue, cannot sort it out and am under a deadline, so I called to see if this was an area of expertise. John MIlikowsky returned my call promptly. John listened while I briefly outlined the issues. He asked the right questions and confirmed his understanding to ensure we were on the right path. He had a lot of good information and wanted to do some additional research to sort out the ambiguous areas (no guessing or just turning me away as some others did). In the meantime, he gave me good and reassuring advice depending how things ultimately sort out. He promised to follow up and I am gratefully awaiting his response regardless of how the issue finally sorts out. Best response so far - (Example: another law firm had good marketing, but thein non-lawyer who did not know the answer told me to call my State Assembly person instead of their promised "free consultation with an experienced attorney") Bottom line: Great so far, Responsive, Attentive, Knowledgeable, Thoroughly professional and extremely pleasant to deal with and promised to follow up. Thanks and looking forward to next steps, John read more

I have a large balance due from prior years to both the IRS and the CA FTB and called John's office for advice. I first spoke with Jen and she was very professional and helpful. After hearing the details of my situation, she made a phone appointment with John for the next day. John called me right on time and listened and asked detailed questions about my tax liability and payment history. He offered lots of good information on how the IRS and CA FTB treats my scenario and what regulations would be applicable. John was very positive and constructive in his comments and very balanced in his consideration of the approach that should be used. After this thorough review of my case, we both agreed that it would be much less risk if I continued with my current payment plans and completed the divorce proceedings that are currently in process before taking any additional action. I should also mention that I've talked and meet with several other San Diego tax attorneys to seek guidance with my tax issues. After meeting with John, I finally have a good level of confidence in the "rules of the game" and fully understand my options with both tax agencies. I would happily hire John in a second for any federal or state tax support needed. Based on his many positive customer reviews and my personal experience, he is a rare and significant resource that you can rely on. read more

I gave John a call, as I had a very complicated last minute end-of-year tax question for my business. John's front office was extremely nice and John returned my call very promptly (within about 15 minutes). Mind you, this was right around the holidays, so it was a lot to ask. John gave me very succinct advice and really knows his stuff. Not to mention, you can really tell that John puts his clients' first, as he never made me feel like he needed to get off the phone. He's not only very knowledgeable and friendly, but he has an amazing ability in being able to color the details, which makes it a lot more palatable to someone who's not well-versed with the law. Not to mention, he has a wealth of experience in the very complicated subject of auditing, and provides details with specific examples from previous experiences. Give John a call if you're in need of any tax help - He's the real deal!!! read more

The IRS was seeking over $30,000.00, and John was able to prove our position. Dealing with the IRS is never easy, having John represent us made it easy. We highly recommend John.
