I highly recommend Christina Ciu for her expertise, integrity and insight. On tax, legal and financial issues. She represents and advises me in a complex divorce case. I am repeatedly impressed with her knowledge of family and tax law and their application, her sense of strategy, her creativity, and her understanding of human nature and how to work with people effectively. She collaborates easily with other professionals, and knows when to firmly hold ground or respectfully challenge opponents in an adversarial situation. I have found her unfailingly responsive and thorough in answering questions, doing research, and making connections. Her broad perspective, detailed information, empathy and sense of humor have been invaluable. Ms. Ciu is a trustworthy and reliable advocate, advisor and guide through a complicated and unsettling process.

After spending 4 months trying to solve an IRS problem to no avail and feeling powerless and frustrated, I contacted Christina Ciu for assistance. I immediately knew I was in good hands. One conversation with Christina assured me that her expertise and professional demeanor would cut through all the bureaucratic red tape I’d been dealing with unsuccessfully and get me the solution I needed. Christina attended to my issue immediately, worked diligently until it was resolved, and was extremely responsive, communicating every detail of her work on my case along the way. She got excellent results quickly – in just two weeks she was able to resolve the issue and wipe out the months of frustration I had experienced. I knew I had a true advocate on my side. I can’t recommend her highly enough. I hope I don’t run into issues like this in the future, but if I do, I know who to call!

Christina has been a valuable family law and tax/trust resource as I work through serious marital issues and position myself for a possible separation and/or divorce. Despite having consulted local attorneys, I wanted a second opinion about the legal implications of my current financial arrangements and my various options. Christina clarified issues, helped me prioritize and brought up important practical considerations. I feel better prepared for appointments with my local family law attorney, trust attorney and tax preparer. Christina accommodates my difficult schedule, offering me consultations via both phone and email. She listens carefully and is detailed-oriented. I have a complicated blended family and it is extremely important to me that I protect my financial future and that of my children. She is an excellent resource for someone who, like me, may not be ready to initiate legal action but who wants to have a better understanding of the legal and financial ramifications of each option to be better prepared to make an informed decision.”

When I was asked to write a testimonial about my experience with Ms. Ciu, I jumped at the opportunity. I recently needed professional assistance for a tax problem. From the beginning, Ms. Ciu informed me of the process and what it would take to resolve my tax issues. I was continually kept abreast of the progress and was absolutely more than satisfied with the final outcome. She really came through for me in a big way.
Ms. Ciu is a true professional with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field of tax law. She was very easy to reach and talk to. She answered all of my questions and explained everything quite thoroughly. I always felt I was being represented by the best. I would and have recommended her to others and should the need arise, I wouldn’t look anywhere else.

Christina is both knowledgeable and patient which is important when dealing with a stressful situation. Her advice came from inside experience and it saved me a great deal of money and time. What makes her different from other tax attorneys is that she worked at the IRS and she knows what they look for when processing offers. That experience directly benefited me. I would strongly recommend contacting Christina if you have any type of tax challenge.
