Attorney Arbulu is masterful in resolving both individual and business client tax issues. He has a wealth of tax defense and resolution knowledge that very few attorneys in our space can rival.

I am constantly impressed by his creativity in solving problems for clients. His educational and professional background is highly impressive. I myself learn from him on a daily basis.

I could not be happier that our clients have the opportunity to take advantage of Attorney Arbulu's extensive tax knowledge and the high level real world experience he has to offer.

Advised on Tax Penalties | Jun 24, 2024
We were scammed by an entity claiming their expertise and our eligibility for ERTC benefits after the pandemic. It was an incredibly complicated matter. Frustrated and caught off-guard, we didn't know where to turn. Fortunately, we were referred to Mr. Arbulu who thoroughly answered our questions (and we had many!). He provided clear direction in handling the tax and legal issues. It was tedious, but he stayed on top of the matter from start to finish. He has earned our trust and respect. We recommend his services highly!

My wife died of cancer I April and I was distraught to the point I was barely functioning.
I couldn’t handle dealing with financial affairs and tax issues. Fortunately I contacted Mr Arbulu and his help in dealing with this in my time of great need was absolutely excellent! He calmed me down educated me on what needed to be done, answered my questions and concerns, then dealt with the legal and tax issues. His handling of these affairs was perfect and I can’t imagine dealing with this without his extensive expertise. He is now my go to financial professional.
