– 30 Years of Law Experience –

STATE AND LOCAL TAX

“I can’t say enough good things about you. Your personal interest
in your clients exceeds all expectations. You have taken an impossible
situation and completely solved it above and beyond what we ever thought
could happen. We couldn’t even get a person to speak with us from the State.
But with your relationships and tenacity, you have bulldogged our way to
complete resolution. We have eliminated $3.0 million of erroneous assessments,
protected our NOLs and received refunds for multiple years that we never
thought we would see. If you have a list of references, please add us
so we can tell others just how good you are. Thanks again for everything.”

CLIENT REVIEWS

"Mr. Litwin was unrelentingly persistent and took the time to
understand a complex situation. His knowledge and experience
got me a most favorable outcome."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"Following an audit by the Georgia Department of Revenue
(GDOR), we needed expert guidance on the resolution of this
audit. Richard was able to work with us and explain to the
GDOR that the assumptions made by their auditor were mostly
inaccurate. He was able to work out an amicable settlement
between us and the GDOR."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"I hired Mr. Litwin to represent me personally in a tax claim by
the State of Georgia for approximately $500,000 of business
related taxes. Mr. Litwin focused on the pertinent issues, contacted
the State and quickly resolved the matter without litigation and
with minimal expense incurred by me. His knowledge of the system
and professionalism cannot be overstated. I have had contact with
many attorneys and he is definitely in the top 1%."

CLIENT REVIEWS

“Attorney Litwin represented my company in a sizable sales tax
dispute with the Georgia Department of Revenue. Mr. Litwin was very
professional and knowledgeable concerning Georgia tax laws. Due
to his knowledge of Georgia tax laws and having several contacts
in the GDOR, he was able to resolve my dispute favorably in a
timely manner. I would highly recommend him in tax law litigation."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"You don’t know how much your help means to me,
Richard. I just wanted to thank you again for your diligent
work on behalf of my business. The settlement you were
able to negotiate was a lot less painful than the [state’s original]
assessment. I did take your advice and made changes to
reflect changes. Thank you."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"We faced a potential and mounting state tax liability.
Mr. Litwin has unique expertise in state and local taxation.
He was able to hone in on the state tax issues
that we faced and without having to spend unnecessary time
(and fees) researching our issues. Mr. Litwin listened to our facts and developed a plan
to minimize our potential tax liability through getting a ruling
from the state taxing agency. Mr. Litwin then executed
the strategy efficiently. During the process, Mr. Litwin updated
us typically before we even asked for an update. He is a consummate professional."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"Mr. Litwin did my company a great service by handling a complex state tax
matter which was resolved in my favor. We have engaged his services on
several occasions and have been very pleased with the results and fees paid.
Highly recommend Mr Litwin as counsel."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"Litwin Law Firm is excellent to work with! Richard works with great integrity and
honesty, and his knowledge and communication with you is top notch."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"Engaged Mr. Litwin to represent a high wealth family office and he achieved
results beyond expectations. His relationships facilitated resolution to multiple
years of complex tax matters that were holding up refunds and generating
erroneous assessments. He completely solved all issues."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"Richard Litwin did an excellent job assisting our company on a very difficult
Georgia income tax issue. He understood the nuances of the tax law, knew the
documents that were needed to win the case and knew the appropriate people
in the DOR that resulted in a fast and successful win for our company. He was
very personable, responded to inquiries quickly and his fees were reasonable.
I would highly recommend Richard."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"Following an audit by the GDOR, we needed expert guidance on the resolution
of this audit. Richard was able to work with us and explain to the DOR that the
assumptions made by their auditor were mostly inaccurate. He was able to
work out an amicable settlement between us and the DOR."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"Richard was instrumental in getting back-taxes resolved that were owed by my
late father. Not only was he professional with incredible communication, he was
compassionate and empathetic about the situation. His quick, no-nonsense
approach saved our family roughly $8,000."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"Richard Litwin helped us resolve a dispute with the DOR over a 17 year old
withholding tax liability on a partnership. He has written articles on the
withholding tax rules and is familiar with its provisions. He processed an open
records request to gain access to DOR information and achieved a fair
settlement including the abatement of previously assessed penalties. Our
company would use him again for tax controversy assistance."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"Firm took the reigns of the problem and walked it through the proper agency.
With the exception of a phone conversation all else done online and snail mail.
The resulting peace of mind was well worth it."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"I was referred to Mr. Litwin by another tax attorney who said, "If I had your type
of serious tax problem, I would use Richard Litwin myself. He is the best." This
was the best advice I have ever received.

I owed over $60,000 in back taxes with the state of Georgia. Compounded
with penalties and interest, it totaled over $130,000! Mr. Litwin was able to
settle the case for $1,774. I'm not kidding. This is for real.

There just isn't enough to say other than Mr. Litwin is the best! I see why other
attorneys refer to Mr. Litwin for serious state tax issues, or they go to Mr. Litwin
themselves."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"The words in the title are far to often not associated with attorneys. Mr. Litwin
is unique however. I was referred to him by my accountant to help with a tax
matter. We met, I explained my situation, he advised me what to expect in the
future and I chose to put off my troubles yet again. Within one year, the
government did exactly what Mr. Litwin told me they would to a "t". Sometime
thereafter I decided to hire Mr. Litwin in an attempt to settle my tax matter.
Through thorough research, due diligence and based on his knowledge gained
from past similar situations, Mr. Litwin settled my case in a short time. Not only
was the settlement favorable for me, it lifted a weight many of us bear. Thank
you Richard, I can breathe again."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"I had a $68k sales tax lien from GA DOR from my ex's business where I was
never involved but the licenses were on my name. He communicated with me
every step of the way, understood that I was in a financial crunch and worked
my case in a timely manner where his fees were kept at minimum. He is without
a doubt one of the most knowledgeable and TRUSTWORTHY tax attorneys in
Atlanta."

CLIENT REVIEWS

"My multistate business was audited by a local board of tax assessors in Metro
Atlanta, and the appraisal values were incorrect. I retained Richard Litwin, and
he had to familiarize himself with not only the audit/case but with the way my
business operates, entity names, etc. To make matters more interesting, I
communicated with Richard remotely from the West Coast. I tend to work late
hours and because of the time zone difference I would send him emails or call
him at the oddest hours. Irrespective of what time of the day it was, I would get
a confirmation and/or response from him. It was comforting to know that
Richard was there to care of us."
