I highly recommend Robert Schriebman! I came to Bob with an EDD audit which had dragged on for years, and years. It was so stressful, and just seemed impossible. He was able to stop their aggressive collection action, negotiate on our behalf, and get it resolved. Thank you, Bob!!

I cant thank Robert enough for the help he provided me. The EDD was being completely unreasonable with their collection efforts and a friend recommended seeing Robert so I did, he was on the phone with my case worker from the EDD within 15 minutes of my visit and I instantly felt a comfort level and confidence that released a huge burden from me. He was able to negotiate a very reasonably installment agreement for me and I would highly recommend him for any of your tax needs. Thanks again Robert, you are the best!

Robert Schriebman is without a doubt the most knowledgeable tax attorney. Some people read the books well he wrote them.

My companies experience with Robert was very positive. He was able to resolve our issues with out any additional tax's or penalties.

I highly recommend Robert Schriebman

Mr Robert Schriebman is the best attorney for any EDD issues. I went to him when we were audited and he helped and advised me on what was the best to do. Although the process took some time he was able to get us a settlement that was a fraction of our assessment and he was able to get us on a payment plan with the EDD so we didn’t have to come up with all the money at once. I hope to never have another issue with the EDD again but if I did I would definitely use Mr Schriebman again and I would recommend him to everyone that has a tax issue. Best Tax Lawyer !!!

I highly recommend hiring Robert Schriebman to handle your EDD Audit. Before I consulted with him, I was not prepared for what was to come. After hiring Robert, he educated me on what I needed to do, gave me clear guidelines on what I needed to put together to prove my case, and held my hand through the entire process. The end result was the best possible news ever, NO ASSESSMENT and NO CHANGE IN MY BUSINESS MODEL. I truly believe that Robert's guidance and efforts helped me. We went in so strong and the exercises he had me to do prepare were brilliant. He is worth every penny. It is a long and stressful experience and you need him.

Outstanding lawyer for EDD issues. Had an issue with the EDD that we did not agree with. Bob was extremely helpful in resolving the matter efficiently and to our satisfaction. Would highly recommend him.

I have to start by saying THANK YOU!!!! Robert, I was so sick I lost 10 pounds in a week just thinking about this problem I had with the EDD and not having anyone that really knew what they were doing was making it worst, I hired 3 different types of lawyer I thought would help a tax lawyer an employment lawyer and a business lawyer and it was expensive. I spend countless time looking online about other people that had the same problem and I read countless articles and finally I came across Roberts website. I was not sure at first and I called and got a call back right away. I got a consultation. I have to admit it was not fancy he is a very down to earth gentleman and did not have all the sales tactics or shiny shoes and suits I got from my very expensive (none-performance lawyers) I'm still mad at them. However I took a chance, he was a straight forward guy like I said not fancy toll me what to expect and he was honest VERY REFRESHING, needless to say it took a while and I would check in now and then was not sure how it would turned out. He kept telling me to be patient and wham !!! I got a deal he was able to negotiate it down to where is was more manageable and got me installments to pay it off. Like I said THANK YOU ROBERT !!!!

We went to 2 other lawyers before Robert and they were not able to get any traction with the EDD, so we were skeptical to say the least to find ANOTHER lawyer. Besides, we and didn't want to spend any more. Robert's consultation was thorough and helpful. He knew who to call at the EDD and within a short time he had the enormous amount the EDD was charging reduced to a mere fraction because of his tax knowledge and long time relationships with the folks at the EDD. We wish we had gone directly to him in the beginning! We would have saved so much time and money!! Absolutely worth every penny!

My law firm was targeted by the EDD with a completely bogus investigation. But, my potential exposure to these vultures was hundreds of thousands of dollars, not to mention the time and energy I and my employees would have to expend to fight it.. Bottom line -- Bob Schriebman saved the day, charged me a reasonable flat fee and engineered a very inexpensive settlement. I can't recommend him highly enough, even if, like me, you are completely innocent of any wrongdoing.
Ironically, my firm specializes in employment law, and in misclassification of workers as independent contractors ("IC's) and we have been the lawyers in several influential court of appeal cases. We understand fully the difference between IC's and employees and would never misclassify any workers. That didn't stop the EDD though.
In our case, a lawyer who had worked for us on an IC basis made a claim for unemployment benefits for her work at a different firm where she had been a W2 employee. As required, she told the EDD that she had worked for my firm as an IC. The EDD investigated, and granted her claim for benefits -- but decided that she was not an employee of the firm where she worked as a W2 employee, but was an employee of my firm, where she had been an IC - even though she maintained her own separate office, worked whatever hours she wanted, and received no supervision. (Bob told me this is common: the EDD grants a worker's questionable even untenable, claim for benefits, then targets the firm that hired them.)
When the EDD told me they were auditing me I thought it was a mistake. And, because I'm a lawyer, I thought I could probably handle it myself. But, I checked the web looking for information and in doing so I found Bob's website which contains tons of valuable information about EDD issues. I was so impressed that I called him up and asked if it was something I could handle myself. I think he said it was as good an idea as doctor performing surgery on himself. When I thought it through, I could see that fighting the EDD in a proceeding that I knew nothing about was going to be a huge time suck for me and my employees. Bob charged a flat fee to handle the entire audit and, while it was more than I wanted to pay at the time (hel1, I didn't want to pay anything ...) it turned out to be a tremendous bargain.
Bob handled everything, my firm didn't have to do anything except send some documents. Bob's knowledge of the nuances of how the EDD worked was absolutely fantastic. He knows the hearing officers, knows the procedures, knows the time deadlines, knows what you can be required to do and what you can refuse to do, and that knowledge is invaluable.
The EDD spent about a year investigating my firm and called into question every dollar I had ever paid any worker. Every 1099 I sent out for the past five years including to entities like court reporters, got checked. In the end, they sent some kind of audit statement and -- keeping in mind that I'm a lawyer and know how to read stuff like this -- it was all voodoo to me: I couldn't understand it at all. The EDD decided that I owed them about $15,000 -- keeping in mind that this was a huge reduction in what they started out with. Still, Bob was outraged and told me he was going to get it reduced for a bunch of reasons that even I couldn't follow. In the end, it got settled for my payment of less than a quarter of the already-reduced $15,000 the EDD said I owed. I know that was a hell of a lot less than I would have paid if I had handled it myself, and it was way, way less aggravation and work for me and my employees.
If you've got an EDD problem, the only smart thing to do is to hire Bob Schriebman. He's smart, ethical, knows the EDD backwards and forwards, you'll get a better result than you ever could on your own, and whatever you pay him is a lot less than the value of your own time, energy, and lost peace of mind.

If you have a tax issue, the only mistake you can make is to not call Robert Schriebman right away to resolve it. Mr. Schriebman has more expertise in tax issues than any other attorney or accountant we have talked to. He guides you through every step of the process. It reduces a lot of stress knowing that he is in your corner. He is honest, fair and tells it like it is and he will do his very best to achieve the most favorable outcome possible. You'll learn a lot from him too. I'll definitely call on him again anytime I have a tax issue.

Mr. Schriebman is an excellent lawyer with exceptional knowledge and years of experience in the field of tax law.
Robert and his extremley competent and proffesional staff don't waste any time working on your case and will guide you throughout the difficult process of resolving any tax issues you might have.
He is widely known and respected by IRS, Franchise tax board and other tax related agencies.
I highly recommend Mr Schriebman to anyone with a tax problem and am grateful for all his hard work to help put my mind at ease at a very difficult period of my life.

Excellent service. This guy really knows his stuff! if you have any tax issues state or Federal he is the lawyer to see. Do not waste your time looking for other representation. Robert is your guy!!!

I am so grateful and I am sleeping again at night because Robert Schriebman solved my EDD audit. I was going thought it for over two years getting nowhere at all.

In one week Robert was able to quickly solve all my problems!

Praise the Lord

. Brandon Schuller has never been clients of Robert "Bob" Schriebman. Mr. Schriebman has been practicing before the EDD since the 1980s. He is both competent and professional. He is well respected throughout the EDD and the IRS. Therefore, I must respectfully disagree with Mr. Schuller's comments.

Can I give 10 stars?
Mr Schriebman helped me immensely and never even knew me. I had a tax debt with the EDD For over 18 years and was told the only option I had was to pay your debt ($30,000) and then request a refund.
I searched ways to fight this unjust debt and found Mr schriebmans post online about how to fight a decades old debt. Ask for their records. They were required to send me assessments via certified mail . I asked for the records and they did not have them.
The tax collector at edd said he didn't need to have them and the only way to seek relief was to pay the debt and request a refund. I said yes you do and no I don't.
The tax payer advocates office then got involved and as of today, I no longer have that ancient debt AND the Edd is refunding me about $2500 for money they took from my bank accounts over the years.
A million thanks to mr Schriebman . If you have any need for representation I would highly recommend him. He definitely knows what he is talking about and can get the job done. In my case I never even retained him and he has changed my life.
THANK YOU!!!!

This Attorney is a disgrace. I would NOT even contact him,he has no concern for his customers. He takes advantage of the situation your in and demands a big pocket retainer.

He does not deliver the goods,I'm filing a state bar complaint next..

Folks,If you notice Roberts responses,He is trying to cover up Brandons review by adding a bunch of positive ones. I had the same experiences with this attorney who is a complete liar.

un happy clients would not take the time out of our day to post a negative review, or fake reviews. Lets see how he responds to this one........ I bet the same as Brandons.

I found him on the rip off report as well with another bad experience......... I am about to go to BBB and other major social sites,save your money and Time DONT USE HIM.

Beware !!!!! do not use this coward.

He tries to act like he's an expert,by writing online content. DONT fall for him as he is a rip off.

I have been a client of Bob's for over 10 years. I can tell you that he is most
knowledgeable tax attorney I have met. He navigated me thru my tax mess
and resolved all my issues and got me a clean bill of health!!! If you are in
need of a tax attorney who gets results, then he's man for the job!!

I was recommended to Robert Schriebman by our corporate attorney. I found that Robert has the knowledge and experience to deal with all matters concerning the EDD. The first consultation was very informing of our rights with EDD and how the process of an audit works. Once we retained Robert for his services the rest of the process was seamless.
It was a pleasure working with him and I highly recommend his services.

ROBERT S. SCHRIEBMAN, has been a trusted professional tax advisor and "trouble shooter" for us for over fifteen (15) years. Simply put, he knows both the California and the U.S. Federal Tax/Employer systems and their applicable laws like no other. With decades of experience, he is a taxation expert, having authored many books and articles, taught at the university level and has testified, as an invited taxation expert, before the U.S. Senate Finance Committee on said subject matter.

I highly recommend him.

Robert Schreibman is an Attorney and tax law expert of the highest order. I have been a client of Mr. Schreibman's for the past seven years and offer he and his services only the highest praise.

He provided masterly counsel, friendship and advice throughout my extremely complex state and federal tax matters. His hard work, tireless dedication and personal and professional dedication were crucial to finding a successful resolution to my matter. At the same time he has been an extremely fair, compassionate and truly decent man. Bob is a rare find and a complete tax professional in a field where expertise is vital. If you have any questions regarding my experiences with Mr. Schreibman please feel free to contact me at any time. SIncerely CHuck Ryant

As a client of Mr. Schriebman, I must say that my experience has been nothing short of outstanding. From the very beginning, he explained the potential benefits and risks of each option I faced in my dealings with the CA EDD and the IRS. His handling of my case resulted in the CA EDD completely dropping any claims against me, without even having to go through any appeals process. While not as successful, we were able to remove 4 years of claims by the IRS, reducing the amount of their total claim by 90%. While my fight with the IRS continues, there is no doubt in my mind that the outcome could have been much worse if not for Bob's excellent advice. I consider Bob not only a top notch attorney, but also a friend.

I'm a client of Mr. Schriebman. He was recommended by my doctor, who has know him for over forty years. Our family lawyer also verified what my doctor has said. My experience has been nothing but outstanding. His initial consult fee was well worth it. He immediately put me and my spouse at ease. If your looking for a TV ad lawyer that promises you everything up front, go somewhere else. He immediately stopped the intimidating letters from the government and kept us informed throughout the process. (Yes this is a process and as a client you have to (must) the responsibility to provide his office with all required information in a timely manner) My business and personal issues were quickly resolved. His office staff are very professional and always followed up, and were very helpful when we had what we thought were urgent issues or concerns.
We were completely satisfied and would highly recommend Mr Schriebman's services
