Samuil Buschkin

I come from a diverse background in customer-facing industries, which has shaped my approach to legal representation. I prioritize clear communication and strong working relationships with all my clients. I recognize that legal issues are often deeply personal, and I am committed to providing not only skilled advocacy but also practical solutions that are tailored to the unique needs of each client.

Being an immigrant three times over, I have firsthand insight into the challenges individuals face when navigating new legal and business landscapes. Raised in a community of entrepreneurs, I gained a deep understanding of the complexities involved in running a business. This background makes me a trusted advisor to business owners seeking legal guidance. My practice areas include business law, divorce and family law, real estate transactions, and general counsel services, focusing on strategic planning and protecting my clients’ financial and personal interests.

Real estate is a critical sector of the U.S. economy and often intersects with business and family law. Whether I am assisting with business formation, handling complex divorces involving significant assets, or guiding clients through real estate transactions, I offer comprehensive legal support backed by my experience and a strong professional network.

Being fluent in French, Italian, Russian, German, and Spanish, I am well-equipped to serve a diverse clientele and provide legal services with cultural sensitivity and understanding.

Q. Am I violating my separation agreement by giving a statement to Company A's legal team regarding events at Company B?

March 4, 2025

A: I would certainly speak with an employment lawyer, if you cannot avoid rendering the statement. If in fact, you are under a contractual obligation to not divorce, confidential information and you end up doing so then you might be in violation of such obligations and subject to whatever penalties could be imposed. So I would certainly speak to a employment attorney because it's all about the detail details in particular about what type of information and the language.

Q. Will reporting cash income with 1099-K cause audit?

March 4, 2025

A: This should not be considered legal advice and you should definitely consult an attorney who understands these issues but your tax return is unlikely to be flagged just because your total income exceeds the 1099-K amount. The IRS expects all income to be reported, including cash earnings. The lack of records for the $3,000 in cash could be an issue if questioned, but reporting the full $10,000 reduces the risk of a mismatch. Claiming the Child Tax Credit doesn’t automatically increase audit risk unless your income affects eligibility. To avoid scrutiny, ensure accuracy and keep records of cash transactions if possible.

Q. I am rebranding my company and I am deciding between making a new LLC or amending the current one.

January 8, 2025

A: For your situation, when creating a new LLC and transitioning from an older company, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

If the older LLC has any existing debts, obligations, or contracts, it’s important to ensure those are properly addressed so they don’t carry over to the new entity. Depending on your state and circumstances, there may be tax filings or obligations related to the dissolution of the old LLC or the formation of the new one. Consulting with a tax professional can help clarify this. If the 20% owner of the previous LLC has rights or claims under your operating agreement or other business arrangements, it might be worth reviewing those to avoid potential disputes. Starting fresh with a new LLC and brand is generally straightforward, but make sure you properly transfer or register any necessary licenses, trademarks, or permits under the new entity. You may also want to ensure your new LLC is registered with the appropriate state and local agencies to collect sales tax (if applicable) and file income taxes.

It might be helpful to consult an attorney or accountant to review your specific situation to avoid potential complications. ... Read More
