Joseph R Viola

I was looking for a lawyer knowledgeable in foreign bank accounts. I chose Joseph Viola, Philadelphia. He was listed in the Martindale-Hubble Law Directory. He was very generous with his time in our first telephone conversation and in all following interactions. He charged me a reasonable flat-rat...e and not a separate fee for every hour and every ten minutes. He was transparent with his explanations. When IRS forms and questions became too complicated and worrisome, Viola stepped in and did the actual figuring and work for me. He was very well informed about the latest changes in regulations and saved me a lot of money. I could completely rely on his competence and sensitivity when dealing with the IRS. He took a huge load off my shoulder. Throughout our cooperation Viola was discrete, trustworthy and personable, and sometimes very funny which helped in the dismal tax business. I appreciated him and fully recommend him.

OVDP is a way to end a potential IRS nightmare. However, complying with the IRS, your bank, and their attorneys' demands can be complicated and time consuming. There is a great deal of conflicting information on the internet on the subject of OVDP, and if you want to do the right thing, you need some...one on your side who is knowledgable and competent. Joe is not a fast talking tax attorney, but he is thoughtful in his responses and takes his time with each and every question.　 His clear explanations and confidence afford a great deal of information and will set your mind at ease. He makes the process of filling in the necessary paperwork easy. We are very relieved to have the OVDP process behind us, and it would not have been so painless if Joe hadn't been there for us. We could not have managed this without his level of expertise, which is why we so highly recommend him.
