I contacted Mr. Nicholas Rosado in February 2026 to handle an urgent tax matter involving IRS notices totaling well into six figures. After hiring two different law firms that dragged my case on for years while continuing to bill me without resolving the issue, working with Mr. Rosado was a completely different experience.
Mr. Rosado is a true professional with exceptional knowledge of tax law. He returned my call promptly, offered a thorough consultation, carefully analyzed my case, provided a clear and reasonable cost estimate that turned out to be completely accurate, and, most importantly, recommended the best course of action to resolve the matter as efficiently as possible.
As soon as the attorney-client agreement was signed, Mr. Rosado got to work without delay. He kept me informed throughout the process, and communication with him and his team was always prompt, professional, and secure.
Within just a few months, Mr. Rosado identified the underlying issues, promptly contacted the IRS, and worked diligently until my tax matter was fully resolved.
The professionalism, integrity, and dedication demonstrated by Mr. Rosado and his team are truly exceptional and, in my experience, incredibly rare today. I highly recommend Mr. Rosado and his team without hesitation.

I spoke to Nick to compare notes from a previous meeting with another local San Jose attorney and discovered that the other attorney was only after money. The first attorney I spoke to had more positive reviews than Kim & Rosado LLP, but the transparency and honesty from Nick were appreciated. Although Nick from Kim & Rosado LLP was unable to assist me with my situation, if you want someone to help you with honesty and work in your best interest, call Kim & Rosado LLP and ask for Nick.
Before calling Tony, I visited their website and learned that their attorneys all have backgrounds working with the IRS. This gave me initial confidence in seeking their help to resolve our issue. Once we got on the call with Tony, we briefly explained our frustrating situation and shared our concerns. Tony was very professional and, instead of giving us unrealistic reassurances or promises, he explained that he would need to review our IRS account transcripts in order to provide accurate and professional advice. He also kindly reminded us that, to help us save on legal fees, we might want to consult our accountant for more basic questions. Because our meeting with the IRS was less than two weeks away, we were very concerned—some of the required documents usually take up to two months to obtain. However, Tony and Nick managed to get everything we needed within just two days, which significantly eased our stress. Throughout the process, Tony and Nick consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism and patience, handling every phone call from us. This is incredibly important for a frustrated client like us. In the end, our case was resolved with results that far exceeded our expectations. I sincerely recommend Tony and Nick to any individual or business in need of a trustworthy and capable tax attorney. They truly make a difference！

Nick helped me with a tax issue back in 2021. It was a very stressful situation for me. After a couple of meetings with Nick and handing off my case and documents, I took the whole issue off my mind and Nick worked with IRS and got the case resolved with zero hassle. Nick kept me up to date on the progress and work. I never had to follow up with him, because he was giving me timely updates. This year, I connected with Nick for a tax question related to this year's filing. Nick was very helpful to provide pointers to consider in my decision making. I highly recommend Nick to anyone in need of a reliable, skillful and excellent tax lawyer.
I spoke to Nick about a complex tax issue. He gave grounded, calm and very clear answers that cleared up a number of questions in a short time. I'm so glad I invested in his advice! I will be working with him in the future for other issues.
Anthony Kim and Nicolas Rosado are the consummate professionals. They can understand what may be a complex legal matter and find the straight forward solution. They know the fundamentals of their field to navigate what is needed to achieve for their clients.
Nick Rosado is an amazing tax lawyer and a great person. I was looking for a good tax lawyer to deal with my difficult tax issues. First time I talked with him on the phone, he took his time to analyze my situation in depth for free. Based on my previous experience with other tax law firms, I felt that he was a breath of fresh air and very personal and genuine. You work with him directly every time you have questions or concerns. He is super quick to respond. Within a month, I decided to hire him as my tax attorney after our first phone conversation and that was one of the best decisions I have ever made. His approach to solving difficult issues was just picture perfect. Every move he made worked. There were some critical decisions he made that helped my situation greatly. He ended up saving me almost $1 million and my issue was resolved by the IRS. I thank him from the bottom of my heart and wish him the best. You want an attorney like Nick when you are dealing with the IRS. He has previously worked at IRS and knows a lot of details that will help your case immensely. I am from the Bay Area and I consider him one of the best, if not the best for any tax related issues.
Great experience with Nicolas. Super knowledgeable, perfectly prepared for our meeting - can definitely recommend him.
I contacted Nicholas Rosado after being scammed--so traumatizing! After filing my taxes religiously for years--I was unable to face this alone. He handled my needs beautifully to great effect! Definitely worth my investment and I bet yours! Thank you so much! I couldn't have done it without your expertise and calm.
I had been dealing with a huge tax mistake our previous accountant made. I was losing sleep over it. I had been talking to another attorney that just made us waste time. When I reached out to Nicholas he was very responsive. He advised us promptly, and gave us a resolution. An added bonus was that his prices were not outrages. Thanks to Nicholas we can close this chapter and move on with our lives. I highly recommend Kim & Rosado LLP.
I hired Nicholas Rosado for a complicated case that other attorneys were hesitant to take - not only did he win, but he was thorough, kind, and highly attentive throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend him, and cannot express the degree of my gratitude.
I wish to commend the excellent work and very favorable resolution on my substantial IRS audit proposed adjustment. The IRS agreed to remove the vast amount of the proposed adjustment. Nick realized I was also eligible for a refund from the State of California and filed an amended return for receiving the requested refund. I am very pleased with his professional effort and recommend him very highly.
Nick and Anthony are truly amazing professionals. They were tremendously successful in managing a challenge we faced. We are tremendously grateful to them and are confident that they will continue to do superb work. If we ever need assistance of this sort again, they are the experts we will go to.
Nick and Anthony helped me get $80k back from the IRS. Thank you very much!
Nick is an expert and works patiently with his clients. 10/10 would recommend.
Can’t recommend Kim and Rosado enough. I had a case that stressed me out and Nicholas simplified things for me and won that the case as he told me day one. If your looking for someone who will explain your case and give you the confidence of a good outcome. Nicholas Rosado is that Attorney.
While working with Mr. Rosado, he was reliable, attentive and persistent in getting the best result. He was supportive and generous with his time. He never gave up on the ultimate goal and we were successful because of it. I recommend you consider him if you are facing a problem he can assist with.
Nicholas has extensive knowledge and so much insight helped me resolve issue with IRS and my property transfer transaction successfully. Trustworthy and professional!
Nick and his team resolved an OLD tax issue for us so effortlessly! I wish we had called earlier. Will absolutely call for any tax related issue.
If you are looking for someone to help you resolve your IRS troubles Nicholas Rosado is the best! He is experienced, patient and very kind. He helped me with an offer in compromise and I am beyond grateful to have worked with him.
Thank you Nicholas for all of your help!
Thank you Nicholas for all of your help!
I am so happy and relieved that Nick helped me resolve my Crypto-related tax issue for 2018. I will simply say that before Nick, I tried dealing directly with the IRS and make my case why I do not owe $1.1M+ in taxes. But when my case dragged on for months the growing stress and frustration began to mount and take its toll on me especially when being bounced from one IRS department to another and feeling like I'm just not making any progress. I realized that it was time to get professional help so I searched and found Nick's law firm and I am so happy and grateful that I did because in just five months Nick called me to break the good news that the IRS has updated my case so that I now owe $0.00! Needless to say the good news took a lot off my chest. I am very happy. Felt free. Felt like a new day! So in hindsight, I should have asked for Nick's help because it would have saved me from a lot of needless grief and frustration.
Many thanks to you Nick!
Many thanks to you Nick!
My wife and I own a real estate company that does brokerage and manage our own portfolio of investment properties. We've been doing our own tax returns. As our business grow, we've been struggling with keeping up with various aspects of the 2017 tax cut and most recently the CA SALT workaround.
When we met Tony Kim, we decided to invest in our business and spent 2 hours with him. Even though we've had in depth knowledge of federal and state taxes, Tony's consultation was able to take us to the next level.
We find Tony's advise to be highly specialized and he shares it in a way that we easily understand it. A bonus is that he is a trustworthy person with integrity. Grow your business with Tony, or end up sending more taxes to the IRS and state tax, where applicable.

Nick literally saved my business...
Stressful cannot begin to describe this situation. Imagine this - 6 weeks go We receive a term sheet from a VC for $1.2M and we're at the final stages of diligence. We're inches away from closing a seed round and getting the money in the bank. One of the last steps before closing the round is to show a receipt you supposedly received, proving the IRS received a form that was sent to them 4 years prior (when the company was first incorporated). This receipt was no where to be found. If we couldn't show the VC we had submitted this form, they would have pulled out of the deal (we would have owed $350k in taxes).
We're scrambling, trying to get ahold of the IRS, hoping they could retrieve the form and send us proof of receipt (if you've ever tried to get ahold of the IRS, you'd know it's virtually impossible). After a week of trying, we thought it was over... In come's Nick!
Nick was able to connect with the IRS and work his magic. Even though he had a dozen other things going on, he made us his top priority. Without Nick, we would have lost the deal!
5 stars for Nick!

Mr.Rosado is an excellent tax professional attorney. I had a difficult misunderstanding with IRS since Jan 2020. IRS has been stagnant and un-willing to resolve my issue. My accountant acclaims he's capable to resolve it but the issue remains.
I have finally decided to seek profession help from Mr.Rosado in July 2021 . I was able to seek consult with Mr.Rosado within a day of notice. Mr.Rosado worked nights and weekends to send a strongly written legal package to IRS as soon as possible within 2 days.
After a few month, IRS sent a me a letter that my issue is dismissed without any penalty. I am finally relieved in two years thanks to Mr.Rosado's professional tax expertise.
I would recommend Mr.Rosado to everyone with any tax issues.

Absolutely amazing. In addition to tax preparation, my husband and I used him to develop a comprehensive tax planning strategy for business and personal. I can’t say enough about what a great experience it was to work with Nick. He provided great insight on my tax concerns. I appreciated his attention to detail. He is very well-versed on all aspects of the tax code and informed of all the latest changes. I especially valued his ability to explain complex tax laws in a way that made it easy to understand. His tax planning strategy discussions were truly exceptional. He was very responsive. I highly recommend his services.
Nick is prompt, professional, and available. He always answered emails in just a few hours, even on the weekend which was unexpected. He was able to help me establish a C-corp within a week and spent good time ensuring I understood every part of the process. When the company needed supporting documents for securing a bank account he was able to provide them within an hour.
This is a great business. I'll be coming back.
This is a great business. I'll be coming back.
Tax issues can be so scary, I do not know what I would have done without Nick's help. He did such a good job explaining what was happening along the way and resolved all my problems. If you are looking for tax help I 100% recommend his services!
Very happy I called Nick. He couldn't personally help me but spent a lot of time on the phone with me and gave me a great recommendation for a tax attorney who can help me on the state side (not federal, as is Nick's expertise). Whenever I need federal tax help, I'll definitely go back to Nick.
I consulted with Nick. Many lawyers try to run up the clock. Nick answers questions straightforwardly, doesn't try to over bill. He's very clear on what needs to be done. Highly recommend! 2 thumbs up!
Nick helped my complicated tax issues with IRS which was dragging me couple years. I have talked many other so called tax expert lawyers but they did not meet any of qualities what Nick showed me. Very ethical and capable tax attorney I can rely on as a small business owner.
From experience, I know Mr. Rosado will work extremely hard for his clients to achieve a favorable outcome. Highly recommend!
I have a business in my country which created some issues with IRS. Nicholas was able to explain everything that was happening and guided me well. I feel much better to work with him
My business received a huge bill from the IRS due to my bookkeeper's oversight. Nick was able to handle the whole thing for me. He got the IRS to forgive very large penalties. He saved me a lot of money and headache. I am so grateful!
