Attorney Scott Bartkus was very knowledgeable in the field of tax issues. He settled with the IRS for a fraction on what they claimed I owed. Always returned my calls and had all the answers to my questions. Would highly recommend him!

From our first meeting with Scott, we KNEW we had the right man to fight the IRS on our behalf. Our own attempts and then arbitration failed, but Scott knows exactly how to successfully reason with them and truth and justice won! He is very knowledgeable and tenacious - the perfect lawyer on your team!!

As a healthcare provider I have always used a CPA firm to monitor my business, yet have been audited by the IRS multiple times. As a result over several years, I ended up owing over $300,000 dollars in taxes and penalties. Even though the firms I hired were reputable, it seemed that they were unable to resolve these tax issues to my satisfaction with the IRS. Out of desperation, I hired Scott Bartkus, Esq., MBA to help me with these issues. In my career, I have met at least one new person as as a patient every working day for the last thirty years. When I met Scott I knew that even if he couldn't help me, he had put me at ease. He is a people person, one who truly cares about others and wants to help them to the best of his ability. Over time I learned how knowledgeable, forthright, and especially gifted he is as a tax and business attorney. The added value is his MBA experience. In my opinion, he is a specialist. In time, he was able to resolve my tax issues and not once did I ever have to communicate or speak directly to the IRS. I can recommend him without reservation. After all that time of IRS frustration, he helped me find peace. Robert

I am very grateful for the exceptional assistance I received from Attorney Scott V. Bartkus in working through a business tax audit with the Internal Revenue Service. He is a first-rate attorney - professional, straightforward, very knowledgeable and informative. I switched attorneys mid-way through the audit and immediately experienced peace of mind after Scott's engagement in my case. Through his persistence and experience in working with the IRS, Scott was able to resolve the issues and prevent what could have resulted in an insurmountable amount owed to the IRS due to the mishandling of the audit by the previous attorney. I am extremely appreciative of Scott's assistance and highly recommend him!

Scott is a very personable attorney, who handles the work in a friendly, sincere and efficient manner. I am sure that his calm and up- beat demeanor, along with his sense of fair play, went a long way, when he negotiated with the IRS on our behalf. Scott has made me feel welcome to call him anytime, no matter what has been on my mind. Not only has it always been a pleasure dealing with him, he is also cost conscious and reasonable. I highly recommend Scott Bartkus!

Attorney Bartkus was instrumental in assisting with my IRS nightmares! Due to some ill-informed tax advice I received years ago, I was in some huge debt to the IRS. How huge you ask? Well to the tune of over $125k over a few years (granted I am sure a portion of that included their fees and compounding interest). Attorney Bartkus suggested that I file an Offer In Compromise to help remedy the situation. Initially it was accepted but the amount that the IRS was requesting was really not feasible given my situation and I grew concerned. Attorney Bartkus explained to me that I should remain calm and he was going to counter and included a personal note to the reviewing Agent. Well, what he said must have worked. I was able to settle just about $125k for under $3k...literally pennies on the dollar! Attorney Bartkus was crucial in helping me escape my IRS issues! I highly recommend using him if you have any similar situations.

Attorney Bartkus is extremely professional and has been great to work with, easing the angst that comes with an Audit. Scott returns phone calls promptly, even prior to a long weekend, just to put my questions and concerns at ease while dealing with the IRS Agent.
