Tax attorney Denis Kleinfeld and related parties have come out victorious in a bitter legal battle with a former employee of The Kleinfeld Law Firm. The ex-staffer, Michael Rosenbaum, has returned $159,000 that he allegedly misappropriated from the Kleinfeld parties and retracted allegations of wrongdoing that he made against them, including that Denis Kleinfeld had forged Rosenbaum's signature on a corporate check to buy himself a Cadillac and that Kleinfeld was involved in setting up questionable tax shelter arrangements for clients.

Offshore-focused attorney Denis Kleinfeld "masterminded" a widespread tax avoidance scheme known as the 'United States Virgin Islands Program', according to an ex-employee. The allegation was made in a counterclaim and third party claim filed at Miami-Dade Circuit Court, in Florida, on September 7, 2004 by Michael Rosenbaum and Demi International Consulting LLC, of Florida.

Attorney Denis Kleinfeld has become embroiled in bitter litigation with a former associate of Kleinfeld's United States-based law firm, which specializes in offshore asset protection and tax planning.No fewer than seven civil lawsuits were filed by one side against the other at Miami-Dade Circuit Court, in Florida, over five months this year.
