We met with Andrea Cisneros Valdez, who is knowledgeable, resourceful and meticulous. She gave us solid advice about all of our international tax questions. She explained complicated matters in a simple way, making the legal knowledge accessible to us. read more

I filled out their form for a tax audit situation. Chris called me and left me a VM, text, and an email for a follow-up. I called him back and he was so sweet, kind, and a great listener. He really gave sound advice and was upfront about the costs to work with them. My audit was too small to justify the cost, BUT I would've paid for their services if my audit was in the tens and thousands. I really appreciate you, Chris. You really helped us out today and took the stress away by giving me the steps - which were way easier than I thought. Thanks for making it simple to understand. read more

AMAZING! Zero Change with the IRS! Simply put, the very best and most dedicated law firm in San Diego...hands down. Save yourself the time and money I wasted before I found Ronson and his attorneys who get ACTUALLY fight to get true results. Words are not enough to explain how amazing Ronson and his entire tax team truly are. Yelp, you need to allow a six start rating just for this law firm. When I first got the notice two years ago that I was going to be audited by the IRS I felt as if my life was turned upside. I was already dealing with hours being cut at work and other financial difficulties I had nobody to turn to and felt helpless. When I started the process of contacting tax attorneys it was a painful drawn out tedious task of weeding out the attorneys and firms who actually care to help and those who just want another case on their books. read more

I highly recommend Joseph Cole for any tax related issues. He was my lawyer and managed to resolve my IRS audit For more than one year the IRS was over my head. He took my case, which is a bit complicated, and managed to resolve it without paying IRS any extra money Amazing and wonderful job by Joseph I am very grateful and thankful read more

Sam Imandoust at RJS Law was incredibly helpful--even just during the consultation. He gave me straightforward, valuable advice and truly came across as someone who wants to help, not just run up a bill. In the past, I've dealt with law firms that hold back information unless you pay, and still end up with no clear path forward. This was a completely different experience. Sam made me feel seen, heard, and supported. The process was seamless too--I got a call back shortly after submitting their online consult form. If you're feeling overwhelmed and need trustworthy tax advice, I highly recommend reaching out. You'll feel more at ease just after one conversation. read more

I was referred to Devon Arabo and am so glad i was!! His attention to detail and ability to look at all aspects really helped me. Hes also very upfront and tells you exactly what you need to hear. I truly appreciate his help and couldn't recommend him enough! Have him help you with his services too!! Its so worth it! You'll be so relieved. read more

Chandara was my point of contact, and from the beginning, she was attentive and courteous during our initial consultation--which was free of charge. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I ultimately didn't need to retain their services, as the first consultation provided me with enough guidance to resolve my issue independently. I truly appreciate the time they took to listen, and their integrity in offering honest advice without charging me a cent. Despite it being against their own financial interest, they clearly laid out the steps I could take on my own, knowing that legal representation can be expensive. Chandara's recommendation to contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service was key in helping us resolve our tax issue with the IRS. I'm incredibly grateful to her and her team. read more

I can't thank Devon enough for incredible help with resolving my tax debt. From the first conversation, he was professional, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. What stood out the most was his honesty--he told me upfront to resolve the situation on my own and didn't pressure me into hiring him, even though it meant not making a profit. That kind of integrity is rare. I was overwhelmed and stressed, but Devon guided me through the process, explained my options clearly, and even helped me understand how to communicate effectively with the IRS. Because of his support, I was able to set up a manageable payment plan and avoid unnecessary legal fees. If you are dealing with the IRS or struggling with tax debt, I highly recommend reaching out to Devon. He truly care and will point you in the right direction, whether you choose to hire him or not. read more

I used RJS Law in 2012 for my IRS tax Issue and RJS went straight to work and solved my IRS issue at hand. I recently had another tax issue with the FTB so I called Chandara at RJS Law and she immediately got to work on my case. I am very confident that RJS will solve my FTB tax issue just like the last time. RJS Law is "2nd to NONE" in my opinion when it comes to fixing tax issues. Nobody even comes close to RJS Law. Thank you very much RJS Law for always handling my tax problems. I appreciate all your efforts . read more

There are not enough words of thanks to express my gratitude to RJS Law. Steve Mattia recently prepared my Living Trust & Will. He did all the legwork and was so professional and knowledgeable. My daughter and I met with him once it was completed, and he explained the contents in detail and answered our questions. Honestly, I provided a few personal pieces of information and Steve took it from there. I've used RJS Law twice now, and they are my go to law firm. Everyone I've encountered at this firm has treated me like part of the family. You cannot go wrong with this law firm. I highly recommend! Thank you, Steve Mattia and RJS Law read more

At RJS Law, Ronson Shamoun, Devon Arabo, and Chandara Diep knew exactly what to do when we were confronted by the IRS with a 366K tax bill because I forgot to send a 1098 from the sale of a property, along with our tax form. They were sharp, decisive and immediately went to work to solve our problem. I hope you never need a tax law firm, but if you do, these people are the best at what they do. Most importantly, I was able to speak to Ronson (the business owner) on my first phone call to them.....unheard of! read more

Devon and his team did a phenomenal job regarding my ERTC. Very communicative throughout the process. Honest, trustworthy and reliant, that's how I would describe RJS Law. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Thanks again guys. read more

These are true professionals in their field. I have never ever been treated any better! I highly recommend RJS law for any of your tax needs! They were always ready and available to answer all my questions at any time! I had the pleasure of being helped by Sam Imandoust I can't honestly say enough good words about this man he was simply amazing Always had answers ready Thank you Sam thank you, RJS! read more

I am very thankful for this team. In particular Shamoun Ronson. I was nervous due to my particular situation but called for an initial consultation. Shamoun was very empathetic, knowledgeable and encouraging. I never felt rushed off the phone. If you don't know where to begin, this is the place! read more

A special thank you to Devon and Lauren at RJS Law. I had a serious tax issue and the level of service, advice and communication was greatly helpful, appreciated, and calming! Thank you! read more

I was facing a HUGE back taxes bill, and was overwhelmed at the possiblilties, mostly bad. My CPA refereed me to a company that I tried contacting 3X's and never got a response. So I did a search locally and found RJS Law. I submitted a detailed message via their contact page and that evening I got a call and a text from Joseph Cole! A call and a text on Saturday, a weekend! I emailed Joe as I was done for the week and I don't do business on the weekend and we talked Monday. This man spent an hour on the phone with me listening to the details, my concerns and answered all my questions. This person helped me understand what was happening, what could happen and what would happen if I took the right steps. I followed his instructions and I no longer have the IRS trying to get my money. I was able to work out a deal with the IRS that was AFFORDABLE, and they aren't touching any of my assets. If you need to talk to some one who actually cares about his clients and listens to them and then answers your questions and then listens to you some more, and then answers even more questions...Joseph Cole is your man! I am sure there are others there at RJS Law but Joseph is the one who really helped me out. Because of this man I sleep at night, I smile when I look to the new day and now know the irs can't make your life a living hell. Thank you Joseph! read more

I was personally lucky enough to work with Ronnie Shamoun. He guided me through the exact steps to deal with my back taxes and setup a payment plan that would work for me. I had been stressing about it for almost two years and the only regret I have is not calling him sooner! Eric read more

Big thanks to Sam Imandoust for a fast and generous free consult on a tax issue. Much appreciated.

I recently launched a small business in California where laws around working with independent contractors are especially confusing. Over the last two weeks, I've been on at least a dozen calls with "experts" in employment and labor laws, tax laws, etc., seeking legal counsel around 1099s and Assembly Bill 5. I was also looking for help drawing up a contract for our independent contractors. After spending several hours of my own time and money only to receive vague information or to get referred to other lawyers, I was about ready to give up. I thought I'd give it one last try and happened to land on an RJS Law blog post specifically related to AB5. I called them and within the first two minutes I knew that Ronson and Devon were knowledgeable, no-BS lawyers who understand the intricacies of AB5 and working with independent contractors. I walked away from a 15-minute phone call feeling more confident in what I was doing and how to lawfully operate my business than I have in the last two weeks. Although they couldn't draw up the contract because of my timeline, they referred me to an amazing lawyer who will be able to quickly turn it around. I would highly recommend RJS Law if you are looking for a firm that is going to empower you with the knowledge and expertise you need to lawfully run your business. They have a client for life! read more

Sam was fast, friendly, knowlegable and honest. Sam helped me navigate several options over the phone, giving me a peace of mind and viable routes to resolve my tax issue. I recommend his services. read more

I would have given a zero star review if I could to Andrea Cisneros from RJS Tax Law Firm in San Diego. If I had to choose one word to describe her is INCOMPETENT. Got nothing but lies and promises that were never kept. Started with 5k ended up spending more than 35k they just milked me every month on all types of charges. Never got anything done they just consult between themselves and send you the bill. Horrible experience! Please go somewhere else. I came to them for help and they took advantage of my situation due to a Bad Divorce and lost everything to the IRS. They only care about the money. Also she has no knowledge how liens work the sale of my property fell through because she thinks Title should pay only the IRS but they need to transfer the new owners a clean title and all liens should be satisfied. She blamed the Escrow Company couldn't even admit she was wrong. Even tried charging me an extra 10k for the work done. Even though the sale didn't go through. PLEASE DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. She was always accusing me, trying to collect payments, never made me feel like she had my back. Didn't even negotiate with the IRS. I'm very disappointed. I will never forget this. She literally stole from me. It's a scam. read more

Guess why I'm writing this review, same reason your reading it. I was personally affected with lingering Tax issue...s from the past years, trying to recoup from financial challenges like everyone!! and at the same time moving forward from my CPA. Little did I now how difficult it was to handle Taxes on my own with the Fed, State, County, plus income & so on Taxes . With the Help from Devin in particular from day one & all the way threw our process. His Representation & advice we were able to settle all the way around. Yes, there are many choices in San Diego to represent you , just don't play & go to the best first & wait to see results like our Family. Thank you, DEVIN & RJS read more

Had a consultation with Sam Imandoust, and it is refreshing to be able to talk to an attorney that was invested in my success. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am that you spent the time informing me and educating me - you invested in me. Being a great listener was one thing, but you asked questions to make sure you understood every nuance of my situation to better advise me on a strategy and next steps. Thank you, again. read more

I received a "wonderful" audit letter from the IRS. I decided to try and tackle IRS on my own, what a mistake. After the first meeting with the IRS auditors, I realized I needed someone who specializes in audits. The audit meeting ended at approximately 7pm. I left there in a state of panic. I immediately started calling attorneys. Devon picked up the phone at 7pm! He calmed me down and the rest is history. I cannot recommend and thank RJS LAW enough. I appreciate it Ronson, Devon, and your team. Wonderful people. read more

RJS Law is the best law firm I've ever worked with- they have been efficient, great at communication, and wonderful with results. Kaveh Imandoust in particular has been exceptional -- his expertise in legal and tax matters is the best of the best. Also, a big thank you to special counsel Dod Ghassemkhani, another incredible lawyer who helped support me and my family in a time of need. read more

Devon and the team at RJS Law are fantastic, consummate professionals who exemplify every important trait you want on your legal team: honest, fastidious, hard working, creative and most importantly, over-deliver in their results. Extremely grateful for the extraordinary work they did in resolving our case. If you have any issues related to their specialty, don't hesitate attaining their services. I've worked with a variety of firms and specialists as a business owner and RJS Law is one of the few that stands above the rest. read more

I had a phone consultation with Sam and he was extremely helpful in teaching us what tax implications we needed to know before purchasing an investment property out of state. He was kind and generous with his knowledge and explained things clearly. We highly recommend Sam and RJS Law. read more

Sam Imandoust went above and beyond today, assisting me with answers to my state income tax worries. He spent a good 20 minutes on the phone with me, and did not charge me a penny. He was thorough, understanding, engaged, and even went further by sending me an email with important contact information and resources for me to dissolve my tax worry. I cannot say enough about what wonderful and exceptional customer service he gave me. read more

Devon at RJS was amazing to work with. I had a very particular situation that he helped us out with, and he knew all of the current laws and bills that were affecting my situation. Devon gave me an honest answer regarding what the best-case scenario would be for me in my particular situation, and it was one that did not benefit him. So, I truly appreciate his honesty in a time where it's very difficult to find people who are honest when it doesn't benefit them. I truly appreciated and enjoyed my interaction with Devon at RJS Law. Everything going forward relating to my situation, Devon and his group are the only option I see for me. If you want honesty, straightforwardness, and a great experience, RJS Law with Devon is the only option for you. read more

Woke up this morning and had to write this review. I set up a phone consultation for my son. It was the end of a work day, and Sam from RJS Law called my son to give him a free consultation. I was expecting just a short conversation trying to convince him to come in. It was anything but short. Sam was an excellent listener and was extremely sympathetic to my son's situation. He answered all my son's questions and gave him practical solutions. All of my son's anxiety and fears were put to rest. Sam informed him that RJS Law had his back. Also, when I first called, Sandra answered the phone and very friendly, receptive to getting me in touch with someone that day at the time that was convenient for us. Customer service is off the charts. I highly recommend this Law firm! read more

Steve, Ronson and Devon were fantastic in helping me set up a living trust. They were emailing and calling me with updates throughout the ordeal. Will be coming back for any legal assistance in the future read more

This firm is so nice and polite. Their lead partner - Lauren Suarez gave me about 30 minutes of advice because of my accountant is under the suspicion of tax preparation fraud. I was surprised they gave me so much time and guidance on how to look for civil attorney who can go after my accountant. I asked Lauren why she's helping me so much and she said "its the right thing to do" Made me smile :) read more

2 minutes ago I had such an amazing experience with RJS law firm. I saw their advertising on a billboard for their employee retention credit. ERC. I called and left a message on the weekend and Monday morning. Devon called me and trIED to help me with my ERC filing. I provided all documents needed, and a day after Devin called me and said that I'm not eligible and he also mentioned the services they are providing, so I was interested in another service of theirs and scheduled a meeting for a couple days later. I arrived to RJS law firm office And had a meeting with three of their attorneys. They were extremely professional, and I never felt like they are trying to sell me anything. It really felt like they are there for me, which is hard to find those days. I am going to use them for my asset protection plan, and I feel that I'm in good hands read more

I just cannot say enough good things about Richard Komisars Ill who recently handled a bankruptcy for me. He was extremely thorough, explained everything in a way that was very easy to understand, was very generous with his time whenever I had a question or needed reassurance. Most importantly I was confident in him and his abilities and he showed me many times that he is an expert and that I was in VERY good hands. I really could not have had someone better. The day of my hearing I saw that the trustee also appreciated just how very easy my case was, that is all Richard who truly knows his stuff. I highly recommend him as an attorney. His fees are reasonable especially when compared to others providing the same service. With the amount of time and personal attention I received from him? I knew he genuinely cared and for making the process as painless as possible? I thank him! read more

This is a late review that needed to be completed about a week ago. Last week I received a letter from the IRS that needed me to seek help from someone who knows the law. I reached out for a free consultation and I ended up getting more than I asked for. Sam was the amazing lawyer I spoke to on the phone, I explained to him the entire situation and he made me feel at ease and Informed me that I was in my rights and what I needed to do when replying to the IRS. He took almost 30 min with me on the phone to tell me exactly what to write and where to look it up in the IRS guidelines. He told me that hiring them for my issue would not make sense due to the price and what I would be getting in return. He told me that it's easy to write and for me to state the facts. He told me the exact page numbers of the information I needed. Sam went above and beyond to help me and focus on my issues and helped me like a human being. I can't thank him enough for helping without needing me to get into a contract with him or his company. Never had I thought that a lawyer with their busy schedule would go out of their way to help someone out. Sam if you see this I am truly grateful for the help and giving the confidence to reply to the IRS. I will always reference your name and number if anyone asks me for law help with irs. read more

Unfortunately, I am not able to give 0 stars to Joseph Cole and Andrea Cisneros for handling my tax case. We hired them, and their advice cost me countless hours of unnecessary work and $35,000 in taxes and attorney fees. read more

I called to get information about the ERC (tax credit) and Devon Arabo took about 15 minutes to discuss my business and make sure he fully understood our circumstances before making a recommendation - and recommended against applying. He explained that our situation was unusual and even if we were at first granted the credit (and thus his firm would get paid!) we could be subject to an audit later and an auditor may make a different decision about eligibility and we could end up in a situation where we could have to pay it all back, with a 25% fine. Very nice to talk to someone in this industry with such a moral compass! Thanks again Devon, Crystal Goodman read more

I called with a tax question and Joseph Cole, one of their attorneys was able to help me over the phone. He was very patient and detailed in his explanation. After calling a half dozen places this was the least pretentious and most down to earth law firm. I'll never understand why all businesses don't operate like these guys. read more

I have a been a client of RJS Law for many years and they have always exceeded all of my expectations! Chandara is very resourceful and always provides the best solutions to all of my tax problems. Three years ago she helped me with my self-employment (1099) filing. Not only did Chandara explain how self-employment taxes work, but was able to drastically reduce my tax liability by meticulously going through my small business expenses. She even helped me set-up a favorable installment agreement with the IRS! It's so easy to get caught up in all of the stress and become flustered with all of the issues you have going on, but you will always feel taken care of at RJS Law! Chandara is reassuring and always provides you with a clear plan of action in order to ensure the best possible outcome. She is always professional, friendly, and efficient. I can't thank her enough! I highly recommend working with RJS Law and with Chandara, especially. read more
