TESTIMONIALS
As a small business owner, I had an enormous amount of questions. I needed to know how to book keep, claim deductions and credits, navigate selling online, providing services in different jurisdictions, and filing quarterly taxes.
A small business requires an enormous attention to detail and Jessica helped me be meticulous in strategizing my tax landscape and know the necessary laws and regulations.
I highly recommend her to anyone with tax questions.
– Nate W.
Being selected for an audit is arguably one of the worst things that could happen to a small business owner, or at least that’s how I felt.
It felt a lot less stressful when I hired Jess to communicate with the IRS on my behalf. Her extensive knowledge of tax law was evident when she would educate not just me but also the RA on the proper law.
She went the extra mile every day – with driving to me, essentially holding my hand through an interview, and making sure all responses to the RA were effective.
If you get audited – I strongly recommend having her by your side.
– Parul G.
Jessica was incredibly helpful in navigating some tax and business questions I had recently.
Sometimes in my industry I need to make sure we have all of our ducks in a row to stay in compliance.
I feel confident that I can reach out to her whenever I have questions or need clarification on something!
– Monica P.
Jessica provided valuable guidance on how to accurately report my profits and losses from trading cryptocurrencies. Prior to consulting with her, I was unsure about whether I had to disclose gains made during cryptocurrency trades. However, Jessica walked me through the entire process, explaining both the current rules and potential regulatory changes.
– Hanna Bokaie
The state of MD is hard to work with and likes to make getting refunds really hard to get.
I tried on my own for over a year before I finally hired Jessica. She was awesome to work with.
She made the process quick and easy and got me my refund in a matter of weeks. I highly recommend working with her!
– Darren K.
I cannot speak highly enough of Jessica – I had millions of dollars tied to my name for a company that was not mine.
Not only was she kind, non-judgmental and understanding of my situation but she was also bullish and persistent when fighting for the assessments to be dropped off of my name.
If you know anything about the State of Maryland remaining persistent in communication is KEY or you will be left by the wayside.
I can finally have a good night’s rest knowing that I no longer have such a big number tied to my name. Thank you so much for everything Jessica!
– Janice E.
Was referred to Jess by another law firm. From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive, promptly addressing all my concerns and inquiries.
Her reassuring demeanor and thorough explanations of the legal process immediately put me at ease, turning what could have been a stressful situation into a manageable and even positive experience.
Highly recommend!
– Jessica M.

I highly recommend her to any person with such legal or business issues she has proven that she is highly professional and experienced in litigation, b oth business and individual when it comes to The IRS laws , tax issues, business matters, and legal matters
She is the best of the best!
– Hazem G.
My family has a lot of foreign income and assets due to my parents dual citizenship.
We have worked with Jessica for years. When we have new income sources we go to her and promptly receive her advice.
We are always 100% compliant and we are very grateful we have Jessica.
– Joseph
I appreciate Jessica’s assistance. She was very attentive and took the time to go over our options.
She was always available for follow-up calls and recommendations.
We never felt rushed to make a decision.
– L. K. Morgan
I had tax related questions that are quite difficult for me to understand, being an immigrant.
Jess was extremely helpful and quick in her response, and gave me the right kind of advice that i needed to make the most of my income.
She is available at any time and takes a keen academic interest in finding the answers for the most complicated questions.
– Swaroop S.
Jessica is great. She assisted our business in opening an LLC in MD and registering as a foreign corporation in another state.
Jessica is very meticulous, shes asks lots of questions, she actually answers the phone, and responds to e-mails in a timely manner.
Its Friday, 7:30pm and were still receiving e-mails from her….she works. Thanks Jessica!
