Book a Session
Schedule a paid 45-minute online consultation with Avv. Dott. Massimo Leonardi — Italian Attorney (Avvocato), Dottore Commercialista and Statutory Auditor — covering any Italy–USA tax, legal or corporate matter.
Two ways to reach us: free written request or paid consultation
- Free contact request: describe your situation in writing and we come back to you with an initial orientation, usually within one business day.
- Paid consultation: 45 minutes, USD 250, by video call or in person at the St. Petersburg office, with a concrete position on your file.
What happens after you submit
- You receive an e-mail confirmation immediately.
- For a paid booking, payment is processed securely and the meeting is confirmed by e-mail; if payment is not completed, nothing is charged and the request is not confirmed.
- We ask for the documents that matter before the call: residence history, entity documents, accounts, prior filings.
- During the call you get the position, the filings due and the order to do them in; a written follow-up is available as a separate engagement.
What to prepare for the consultation
- Where you have been tax resident in the last three years, with dates of moves.
- Entities you own or control, in Italy or the United States, with ownership percentages.
- Bank, brokerage and pension accounts, and their highest balances.
- Real estate and inheritances, with country of location.
- Filings already made or missed: Italian returns, U.S. returns, FBAR, Quadro RW.
Typical reasons clients book a consultation
Every engagement starts with a 45-minute online consultation (USD 250) or a free written contact request. We reply in Italian or English, usually within one business day.
- They are about to open a Florida LLC and want the Italian consequences before, not after.
- They have a U.S. account, LLC or property that was never declared in Italy.
- They received an IRS or Agenzia delle Entrate letter and need to know which country is right.
- They are moving to Florida, or moving back to Italy, and the year of the move is unclear.
- They inherited, or will leave, assets located in the United States.
What the consultation is not
- It is not U.S. legal advice: matters of U.S. federal or Florida law are handled with appropriately licensed U.S. professionals.
- It is not the filing itself: preparing returns, formation or regularisation is a separate engagement, quoted after the consultation.
- It is not a substitute for documents: conclusions depend on the facts and papers you provide.
Clients outside Italy and the United States
A large part of the practice concerns people and companies that are neither resident in Italy nor in the United States: Italians living in Switzerland, the UAE, the UK, Germany, Brazil or Latin America who still own Italian assets; non-Italian founders setting up a Florida LLC from a third country; families with heirs spread across several jurisdictions.
Working language is English or Italian, meetings are held online across time zones, and documents are signed remotely through powers of attorney where the applicable law allows it. Italian law and Italian tax matters are advised on directly; U.S. federal and Florida law matters are handled in coordination with appropriately licensed U.S. professionals; the law of your country of residence is addressed with a local professional there.
- Non-resident owners of Italian real estate, bank accounts, company shares or inheritances.
- Founders in third countries opening a U.S. company, bank account and reporting position.
- Cross-border successions where heirs, assets and residence are in three or more countries.
- Italians abroad dealing with AIRE, Italian tax residence, Quadro RW and treaty positions.
- Free written request in English or Italian from any country; paid 45-minute online consultation (USD 250) when you want a decision in one call.
