Mishkin is a top-notch attorney. I consulted with regarding an international tax issue. He was very courteous, knowledgable and walked me through my options, even giving me the necessary advice in case I wanted to complete the procedure by myself. I hired Mishkin and everything was taken care of diligently and with constant feedback and clarification along the way. His reviews on this website prompted me to contact him and I was very pleased with the results.

My wife and I did not realize that when my wife became a permanent resident when we married, she was required to disclose the foreign holdings she had retained each year. When we reached out to Mishkin's firm on another tax issue, this gap in our filing became known to us. Mishkin immediately began the process to get us in compliance. Mishkin guided us through the process, kept us informed, and always explained our situation to us in detail. We recently completed our Streamlined Filing with the IRS and it was accepted. We are extremely satisfied with the services that Mishkin and his team provided and will not hesitate to recommend him to our friends and colleagues who may require a tax atttorney.

My husband and I had a complicated tax case that involved our bank accounts abroad. We shortlisted a few attorneys and Mishkin was one of the rare few who was willing to speak to us before we pay a hefty deposit. He walked us through the process and was always prompt to answer emails and phone calls. He would check frequently on the status of our our case with IRS and update us accordingly. Overall, Mishkin and his team helped to make the whole ordeal bearable. We would highly recommend him to our friends and family.

I had to deal with an extremely complex tax question relating to an inheritance I got overseas. I had tried working with at least half a dozen attorneys and CPAs and all I got where vague responses. The real challenge - how to apply US tax law to a foreign scenario - was not being addressed, and when I prompted them to tell me a proper course of action, they never really committed. It was a horrible and stressful couple of months, until I came across Mishkin and his team. Mishkin took the time to really dig in with me in all aspects relating to the history of the land and the corporation involved, going back to 1981, with multiple legal events intermingled (investment into a company, inheritance, sales, etc..). We reviewed dozens of documents and established a clear picture of all events, based on which we could reliably classify the payments received from the company and thus the correct tax treatment of this money. Mishkin also guided me in a proper strategy to disclose this analysis with the IRS and be protected in case of an audit. He also knew very clearly all the required forms to file regarding other assets received in inheritance (while other lawyers just kept saying to me "you have many forms to file"). Finally, all this work was done in an unbelievably short amount of time, as I only reached out to him for a second opinion with 10 days pending to the submission deadline. In short, I have no words to say how grateful I am that I came across Mishkin. I highly recommend him to anyone. Best Fernando

I found Mishkin and his company on while searching on the internet trying to find a solution to my international tax related issues, which became too complex to resolve on my own and was getting desperate who to consult with. It turned out that I was very fortunate that I could find Mishkin and the company, Five Stone Tax Advisers. Luckily, they were local in Austin, too. During the initial consultation, he quickly identified my needs and gave me a clear outline of what needs to be done and how he could help. I had a very good feeling and that he is trustworthy and very capable. Through out the process, he was very accessible by emails and phones and always answered my questions quickly directly to me. Initially, I wondered if paralegal person would talk to me on his behalf, but that is not how they communicate with the client. The information sharing and communication from the firm has been excellent and I had no need to wonder how things were going. This was very helpful when dealing with something time pressing and also stressful. No one likes to have tax problem and get stressed with it, but he and his team gave me assurance that things are under control. The process to file my case took about 3 weeks and that was exactly what was expected. I would highly recommend Mishkin and his team at Five Stone Tax Advisers for especially International Tax related issues. I would use their service for general tax needs in the future again.

My family retained Mr. Santa and the team at Five Stone to assist with a complex and long-standing international tax matter that could have had potentially serious ramifications. We were extremely anxious; however, Mr. Santa and his team laid out clear instructions and confidently advised us through every step of the process with excellent results. Follow-up by all staff was prompt and professional. Mr. Santa is expert with international tax law and we would highly recommend him/Five Stone -- their knowledge, service and results they achieved exceeded our expectations.

We have been dealing with a lot of lawyers over the past few years and Mishkin was the only one that seemed to care about us. He was very helpful and kept us informed at all times. I would recommend him to any person that is having tax problems.

Excellent and very knowledgable service from Mr. Mishkin and his team. Would recommend to anyone that needs any kind of help in his expertise area. Thanks!

His trustworthiness and professionalism is what will prompt me to call on him again if ever we need his services.
