Josh Labat

Expert Guidance Through a Complex IRS Audit

Navigating an IRS audit of my small business was one of the most stressful professional experiences I've faced. The notices were dense, the stakes were high, and I felt completely out of my depth. From our first consultation at Alston & Bird, Josh Labat provided the calm, practical direction I desperately needed. He didn't just recite tax code; he translated the complexities into a clear, actionable strategy. His nine years of experience, particularly in tax controversy matters, were immediately evident. Josh meticulously organized years of my financial records, prepared responses that were both thorough and precise, and handled all communications with the revenue agent. What impressed me most was his proactive approach—he anticipated the agent's follow-up questions before they were even asked. The result was a full resolution in my favor with no penalties assessed. It's clear why he's recognized for his work in Tax Law. Josh is more than a brilliant attorney; he's a strategic partner who protects his clients. For anyone in New York facing a daunting tax dispute, I cannot recommend Josh Labat highly enough.
