When I received a Notice of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency saying I owed an additional $99.769.24 in taxes, I was shocked and I had no idea where to turn. After searching on the internet, I quickly found the top ranked tax law firm of Rotfleisch and Samulovitch P.C. David Rotfleisch, CPA, J.D. listened to me explain my situation, and quickly filed a Notice of Objection on my behalf. They were successful in eliminating the extra amount CRA claimed I owed, and they even got rid of the interest and late filing penalties. My tax liabilities went from $99,769.24 all the way down to $4,040. I love that my case was handled quickly and in a way designed to keep costs low, and I could not be happier to recommend the firm to anyone with tax issues.
David J. Rotfleisch, CPA, JD was my tax and business lawyer in a difficult share sale transaction. He advised me on the income tax and business aspects, handled long and difficult negotiations and successfully closed the share sale. He was very “hands-on” with the deal and was able to resolve matters to my entire satisfaction. I recommend him for any business or tax matters.
David J. Rotfleisch, CPA, JD, represented me in the Tax Court of Canada and in the Federal Court of Appeal . My income tax case went back to the 1980s but was only heard in 2008 and 2009 partially due to the complexity. It involved securities hedging and complex business, complex law and complex accounting issues. I was fortunate to find a lawyer who even understood the business aspect. The organization of David’s firm enabled this successful case to be completed in a cost effective manner, which I doubt the larger law firms could have achieved. I am delighted with his representation and would recommend him without hesitation.
I first met David Rotfleisch when he acted for the vendor of a business I bought, Richards-Wilcox, over 20 years ago.

He has acted for us on all tax and corporate matters since then, including the sale of our successful garage door business to Raynor in the US and has represented Raynor on the Canadian aspects of various transborder transactions. If you need a tax or business lawyer, David has a broad grasp of tax and business law and is helpful and responsive.
