This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Business owner

Paul Predmore has counseled me on complex tax issues for my 30 year business and myself personally for over ten years. As trusted tax advisor, he approached each complex tax issue a through his sound practical advice, a beneficial result was reached each time.

Paul Predmore

In addition to being knowledgeable, Paul is prompt and courteous. In the event that I needed to leave a message, he always replied quickly. He is honest and has high moral character. I was never surprised with rate increases or unexplained fees. I was pleased with the way he handled situations th...at were outside of his expertise. He didn't pretend he had all the answers. If he was not familiar with a particular area of law he would consult with, or bring in another attorney to help. On the rare occasion he needed "help", it was comforting knowing that he was willing to go to someone else if they could better serve me. It helped me recognize he was serving my best interests. In addition, his support staff was always friendly, courteous, and willing to go above and beyond.

Excellent Experience....

I could not have been happier with the experience that I had with Paul Predmore. Paul treated me like a human being, and handled everything with the IRS from start to finish, even the meetings with their agents.

Life changing!

I cannot overstate how grateful I am to Paul for his assistance in resolving my IRS federal tax issue. In addition to securing a VERY favorable settlement, his personal approach and explanations allowed me to understand the process and eliminate the uncertainty and stress that I had been living with ...for several years. In addition, the firm's full service capabilities meant I could have returns prepared and reviewed in-house quickly, saving time and expense. The support staff is friendly and accommodating and Paul treated me with compassion and good humor. I have recommended him to friends who thank me every time they see me for directing them to the firm. Simply put, Paul is the best and you will not find a better advocate.

Fantastic lawyer

Before using Paul predmore I had been searching for a good tax lawyer. Paul was the first lawyer that did what he said he would. The whole process was painless and I was very satisfied with the outcome. Thank you Paul and staff for all your hard work.
