What Our Clients Say

“I received an IRS audit notice for three years of returns and panicked. A friend recommended Sam's firm. Within a week they had taken over all communication with the IRS, and over the next four months they managed the entire process. The final adjustment was a fraction of what the IRS initially proposed. I could not have navigated this alone.”

April 2024

“After several years of financial difficulty, I had accumulated over $180,000 in IRS tax debt. Sam's firm filed an offer in compromise on my behalf, and after a thorough review the IRS accepted a settlement of $8,200. I still can't believe the outcome. They were professional, honest, and kept me informed throughout the entire process.”

March 2024

“Victoria handled my offshore account disclosure. I had accounts in Europe that I never reported — I genuinely didn't know about the requirement. She walked me through the Streamlined program, prepared everything, and the whole matter resolved cleanly with a manageable penalty. Her knowledge of international tax is exceptional.”

February 2024

“The IRS was garnishing 50% of my wages when I called. Within 48 hours of retaining the firm, the garnishment was released. They negotiated an installment agreement that I can actually afford. The responsiveness alone was worth every dollar.”

January 2024

“I went through an audit and disagreed with the result. The firm filed a formal protest with IRS Appeals and argued our case. The appeals officer accepted our position on the major issue — saving us over $90,000. The brief they prepared was extraordinarily detailed.”

December 2023

“I had a federal tax lien on my home that was preventing a refinance. They negotiated a lien subordination with the IRS and structured an installment agreement that let my refinance go through. They understood the urgency and moved quickly. Absolutely recommend.”

November 2023

“My company had payroll tax issues from a difficult period and the IRS was threatening personal assessment against me under the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty. The attorneys built a strong case that I was not a responsible person for the period in question. The TFRP was ultimately not assessed against me personally. I can't overstate how serious this was and how well they handled it.”

October 2023

“My ex-husband had hidden significant income that resulted in a large IRS liability assessed jointly against both of us. I had no knowledge of it. The firm prepared a comprehensive innocent spouse application with documentation of my lack of knowledge and my financial hardship. The IRS granted relief — I no longer owe any of it.”

September 2023

“I had 7 years of unfiled returns. I was afraid to come forward because of what I might owe. The firm prepared all 7 years, negotiated a penalty abatement for first-time offenders, and set up a payment plan. My total balance including penalties was far lower than I feared. The attorneys made a scary process manageable.”

August 2023

“I'm a dual citizen living in Canada and had never filed US returns. I found Sam's firm after research on international tax attorneys. Victoria handled my Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures application — 3 years of returns and 6 years of FBARs. The penalty was zero under SFOP. Everything was handled remotely; I never needed to come to Los Angeles.”

July 2023

“The IRS was auditing our ERC claim from 2021. A promoter had prepared the original claim and I was worried it might not stand up. The firm reviewed the entire claim, identified the quarters with strong factual support, and conceded one quarter where we were weaker. The settlement was reasonable and we avoided the worst outcome.”

June 2023

“I'm retired and live solely on Social Security. The IRS was pursuing a $75,000 debt from years ago. The firm documented my financial situation — income versus allowable expenses — and the IRS placed the account in Currently Not Collectible status. Collection has stopped. Once the 10-year collection statute expires, the debt is gone.”
