Robert L Sommers

I reached out to Mr. Sommers regarding tax advice on foreign assets. Reading the IRS website is not something anyone can translate to themselves. Mr. Sommers did a very good job breaking down the situation I was in. He was very detailed and polite over the phone. Even though my main situation didn’t require a lawyer Mr. Sommers was very patient and explained the steps I needed to do. Highly recommend Mr. Sommers.

I met Bob through a highly-​recommended referral and he met those expectations. He is highly knowledgeable, responds swiftly, communicates in a detailed and concise manner whether by phone, email or in person, and clearly outlines next steps and expectations. He helped me immensely. He’s also nice to interact with, which is an extra bonus. Highly recommend him.

I had contacted Mr. Sommers about some questions relating to the sale of my home and my maritial status. I had thought we would need to meet, get the pitch etc. Mr. Sommers was nice enough to answer my questions via email and helped me out a great deal.
I will be using Mr. Sommers whenever I need tax advice.
Thanks!

Provided answers to a question that’s been bothering me for some time now. Provided more detailed responses than a lawyer I’ve spent $ 2000 on.

I needed some tax advice about getting a business license. I reached out to Robert to set up an appointment, but he was able to give me sound advice over the phone. And he wouldn’t let me pay a penny. This is when you know you’ve found someone reputable with a strong sense of moral character. There really are nice and decent people in the world. And Robert is one of them.

I wanted some advice on on Taxes from an attorney and decided to contact Bob. He wasn’t available so I left him a voicemail with brief message and also request for fees quote. He called me right back, answered all my questions and guess what? He didn’t charge me a penny. Maybe because it was just a consultation and he was highly knowledgeable to answer my queries. Bob is no doubt the best Tax Attorney. Thank you

I was poorly informed not to say scared by a tax person who supposedly knows his stuff and am so happy I came across the reviews here on Unilocal!I needed help figuring out international tax reporting and Robert was very kind and quick to answer my email, explained me in a very simple way over the phone that same day and referred me to someone who can help me with other related tax matters that he doesn’t take care of. Highly recommended.

I was recently on
and came across a paperback book written by Bob — A Guide To Pragmatic Asset Protection. I immediately bought a copy and although I haven’t completely finished reading it yet, I am impressed by how Bob makes a difficult topic interesting and informative. This book will give you the foundation you need to protect your assets under IRS guidelines. Not an easy task but Bob really delivers.

Like other reviewers, I also have foreign tax reporting issues. Prior to meeting with Mr. Sommers, I had consulted with 1 CPA and 1 tax attorney but could not agree with either of them.
After reading Mr. Sommers good reviews from Unilocal and knowing that he also has extensive experiences on foreign tax reporting issues, I decided to contact him for a consultation of my situation. I’m really glad I did.
Mr. Sommers is very knowledgeable and his communication is very clear and efficient. After making appointment with him, I emailed him the details of my situation before the meeting and he replied my emails almost always during the same day with some questions to clear some points. This way, during the actual meeting, he could discuss the issues and provide his views/​solutions right away without wasting time to ask your situation. After the meeting, he followed up by emailing me a memo summarize my situation and the steps I need to take/​do for solving my issue.
Highly recommend Mr. Sommers to people who need consultation on foreign bank accounts issues.

I just recently closed an IRS tax matter that was fairly complex and took some time to resolve. I wanted legal tax representation and not try and handle it directly myself.
I found Bob through his Unilocal reviews and he has done an excellent job walking me through the resolution process and keeping tax matters on track and moving forward. He handled all the communication with the IRS professionally and in a very timely matter. He was very knowledgeable about the laws and regulations as well as how to work with the IRS.
Bob and I communicated very effectively via email and phone so I did only have to visit his office personally a few times which made working with Bob very efficient and easy for me. He always got back to me in a very timely manner which I very much appreciated. His manner and knowledge definitely made me very comfortable and established a strong trust in his knowledge and his skills in dealing with the IRS.
I give Bob my highest recommendation and will recommend him to people I know needing legal tax services. He is very professional and yet easy to work with. I will definitely work with Bob in the future on any matters needing tax and legal advice.

I emailed Mr. Sommers this morning needing some advice on tax issues. I used him because of his reviews on Unilocal.Within an hour of me contacting him, Mr. Sommers called me to learn of my issues, offered his advice, discussed various potential penalties, and what I should avoid in the future. He then referred me to another professional who can further assist me.
Mr. Sommers is a very kind, sincere attorney who contacted me without thought of any monetary payment (though I offered to compensate him for his time). If I ever need actual representation before the IRS or Franchise Tax Board I will call Mr. Sommers first.

Thanks so much Bob for your help!!!

Bob is an expert at what he does and very nice to work with as a bonus. I highly recommend him.

I spoke to Bob today for a consultation, her could of easily jerked me around for a few thousand dollars. Instead, he gave me some good advice and a few referrals to lower cost options better suited for my needs. (I asked for the referrals by the way). None the less he seems like a genuine good person. I will be retaining him as my Tax adviser for my S-​Corp.
Hope this helps.

Bob is awesome. He counseled me through an IRS CP 2000 notice that I worked on very hard and as a result of his advice I owed the IRS NOTHING, as it should have been. Zero, zilch, squat!
It was so nice to get that closing letter from the IRS that said the matter is closed, you were right, we are weasels and we can’t bilk EXTRA self employment tax from you that you don’t owe. I am paraphrasing of course…
Call Bob if you need some help, hes a great guy and really knows his stuff!

Mr. Sommers was exemplary in the handling of a complicated trust matter involving my Mothers Trust in the U. S. and my siblings located in The Netherlands and Australia.
He handled all the complicated problems due to the International issues in a professionally and timely manner. He understood and was very helpful in seeing that everything was done to the different standards of each Country. I would highly recommend his services.

I’m a tax attorney as well. Bob Sommers wrote the book that I use in my own tax practice to advise clients on foreign investment. I think that says it all right there.

I have worked with Bob on several tax issues. I am a colleague of his, rather than a client. He is as knowledgeable about the issues as anyone I have ever encountered and I am a CPA and tax attorney myself. Along with his top notch brain power, he is also very easy to work with and has an engaging personality. You will feel good working with Bob. He is excellent.

Loved working with Bob, no complaints at all. I was trying to figure out a property loan situation that had lots of ins and outs, and I was impressed with Bob’s level of knowledge on a wide variety of tax and property topics.
He’s very friendly, returns calls promptly, and is willing to walk through issues with you to determine the best course of action. He even followed up with me a few times after completing his work to make sure all had gone according to plan. I’ll absolutely be using him again should any other tax conundrums arise.

Bob Sommers came highly recommended to me when i needed help in determining what type of corporation would best serve my needs and tax liabilities.
The most important things to consider when hiring a legal professional:
1. Can they deliver on what has been discussed
2. Will they return your phone calls promptly
3. Can you trust them
Bob Sommers goes beyond what you would need or expect and makes sure that you are legally covered in all matters.
I recently recommended Bob Sommers to a friend who lost his wife. Bob was able to assist and take care of all financial matters quickly and with the deepest compassion that you would want for a good friend.
There is no better tax lawyer that can found. I recommend Bob Sommers highly for his skills and integrity.
