Debt Negotiation As An Alternative For Bankruptcy Filing

Steve is an amazing person. Honest. Caring. Intelligent. As we have moved through our careers and personal lives, he remains a constant. I am honored to have worked with him, call him a friend and know he will always be there for advice. All the best Steve. B

I hired Stephen Kass in the spring of 2013 at a challenging time when I was closing my restaurant group. Mr Kass is an outstanding expert in tax, restructuring and bankruptcy matters. He understands the intricacies of the law and provides value to his clients with every decision he makes. Stephen Kass consistently exceeded my expectations : he is creative, professional, deadline and results driven, organised, diligent, detail oriented and ethical. Stephen Kass does not spend time nor energy in small talks, he spends every second addressing distressed situations and does so brilliantly. I also dealt with his team who was similar to him. Stephen Kass' law firm is super efficient thanks to his charisma and his focus on efficiency. If there is only one attorney to hire in NYC it should be him.

I have worked on a number of projects with Stephen. Stephen has a great ability to understand the details from various business perspectives. He is very organized in his approach to his deal flow. I enjoy working with him because I know he accomplishes exactly what needs to be done.

I have worked with and consulted Stephen on various matters since 2002. In those thirteen years, I've seen him excel at the core elements of his practice and corporate endeavors: helping his clients obtain the necessary results with his knowledge, professionalism and ethical standards. I would not hesitate to coordinate services to, or recommend clients to Stephen.

Stephen is thorough and caring. First, Stephen came to the aid of our family at our worst time. He handled our case thoroughly, professionally and with dignity from beginning to end. Additionally, he has been proactive in helping to get my new business funded and structured properly - suggesting excellent ideas that I hadn't thought of previously and engaging his team to help bring to fruition. I strongly recommend Stephen and cannot speak more highly of him professionally and personally.

First of all, when I was shopping for an attorney to hire, I saw a number of what I assumed to be "canned" testimonials for many companies. I am a real person and if you would like to verify that please ping me through Yelp. I will be happy to show you who I am, how Steve Kass and his team made a huge difference for me and why I endorse him. I highly recommend using Steve Kass as an attorney. I had a serious issue with the IRS involving real property, a company I built and sold, and multiple years of taxes which were unfairly and incorrectly assigned to me and had been hanging over my head because my efforts to negotiate the matter were fruitless, even though a number of publicly available materials proved me right. Once hired, Steve and his office swung into action, going into deep detail on my situation, history, and my company and my personal finances. The outcome took months, because the IRS is not speedy, but it was a real win. I am not only vindicated in the offer that was negotiated, but I owe far, far less than I expected to, which as a number was far less than the IRS had assigned me and penalized me for. In short, it makes sense to shop, do your homework and hire an attorney with a solid history of winning these cases and with a support staff who can carry the day. Stephen Kass will be your guy. I strongly recommend Stephen and cannot speak more highly of him professionally and personally.

Stephen is very knowledgeable about bankruptcy and tax issues. I have complete faith in recommending a potential client to him. His character is impeccable.

Stephen is an excellent, diligent attorney, who deeply cares about his client's plights and goals, and gives 100% of himself to getting his clients the optimal result achievable for them under their cumstances, at the fairest possible cost. He is a credit to the legal profession, and I am proud to know him.

Stephen and I were in the same law school class. He was the one of the select few classmates of mine who had a deep understanding of our tax classes, and consistently excelled in those, and in other subject areas. He also provided financial advice from time to time, which proved quite lucrative to me.

Steve is the most professional and knowledgeable attorney I have ever met in my life. He is a real pleasure working with and learning from. He is one of a kind, possessing superior knowledge and many years of experience in bankruptcy and tax law. I am honored to be a part of his firm.
