I am extremely happy with Igor Drabkin. Given my personal situation, I have been working with several attorney's and Igor is the best. He is very compassionate, responsive and knowledgeable about his field. He keeps you informed, he does not "waste" time and most of all he is "on top" of everything. Having Igor on your team creates a comfort level in knowing that things are being taken care of.
Sensitive to cost/benefit of arguing with IRS, kept me informed, monitored costs every step of the way.
Igor has been in my corner the entire time I have been in dispute with the IRS. He knows the in's and out's and contacts within the IRS due to his having been on the inside for them earlier in his career. My case spands a half a decade and not only has he helped me and my family get thru this nightmare but he has also showed me and my family compassion and has never waivered dilegence wise or his belief in my rights as an American citizen. I would not only recommend Igor but would persist that you use him either for individual tax liability or corporate liability. On top of him never showing doubt of my innocence during my case he actually showed me that his knowledge of the IRS's internal operations and the key players within its system that he can call on to move things along or get my info in front of the right people to make the next decision in my case was to say the least impressive. He is aggresive and he will get the job done and that is all that needs to be said. If you would like to speak with me directly to find out if Igor or his firm is the right fit for you and your needs, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time Igor office has all of my numbers and I would be glad to discuss what he has done for my family, business and quality of life with you.
We recently retained Igor Drabin for our IRS case. It's too early for an IRS decision or resolution but so far I am thrilled with the professionalism of this man. He listens and then takes immiate action on our case. He is FANTASTIC at keeping us informed. We feel confident that we made the right choice in an attorney. I will write a follow up review when our case is resolved.
