I can't recommend Allison enough! She helped me successfully navigate a stressful EDD audit with expertise and grace. Not only is she incredibly smart and thorough, but she's also genuinely kind—something you don’t always expect from an attorney. Her support and guidance made all the difference. If you need a tax attorney who knows her stuff and truly cares, she's the one to call!

2024- Working with Allison has been an incredibly smooth experience both times I’ve worked with her. Her expert advice and the support she provides are outstanding, and we’ve had nothing but positive results each time. 2020- I was so impressed with her work during an EDD audit. I would HIGHLY recommend Allison to anyone going through an EDD Audit. From the very first 3 minutes of speaking with her, she was super helpful and professional, while also making me feel like I was talking to a friend, which really helped calm my anxiety. Allison was dedicated to helping us achieve the best possible outcome and was honest about all scenarios, even preparing us for the worst. We ended up with the VERY best outcome because of how she guided us through the process and made sure we had everything ready to tell our story to the auditor. If you want someone who truly listens, understands your business, and will be your biggest advocate, call Allison now! Be ready because she’s quick to respond with both calls and emails.

We retained the services of Allison Soares for a recent IRS audit. The IRS was claiming we owed an exorbitant amount of money. After interviewing several qualified attorneys, Allison was the obvious choice. During this very stressful time for our family, we appreciated how knowledgeable and responsive she was from the very first call. Her professionalism and commitment to our case was truly impressive. She pointed out a few critical points, that another attorney may have missed, which we believe helped our case immensely. She guided us through this complicated process with great success and we could not have been happier with the outcome of the audit. We are 100% satisfied with her work and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal tax advice. Thank you so much Allison, we are truly grateful for all your hard work.
