Joseph R Viola

I highly recommend Mr. Viola’s services for any tax matters requiring legal advice. His extensive knowledge in the field along with an outstanding character and integrity impressed me from day one. I walked in Mr. Viola’s office with tears rolling down my face, sobbing and asking for help in resolvi...ng my back taxes. After our first meeting I knew I was in capable hands. He spoke with the IRS on my behalf, structured a payment schedule and continued to follow the case, to insure that my situation was resolved. I am honored to have Mr. Viola as my lawyer. He is always available for consultation and he always takes the time to listen to my concerns and to provide thoughtful advice. Philadelphia, Client

Late on a Friday afternoon, my employer notified me they had received a wage garnishment letter regarding me from the IRS. This "happened out of the blue." I had not received any collection notices from the IRS. I did not know what to do; I called an attorney friend of mine, who stated I needed an IR...S tax specialist and recommended Mr. Viola. It was early Friday evening when I contacted Mr. Viola via the link on his web page. I was pleasantly surprised when Mr. Viola called me the next morning (Saturday). We discussed the situation and set a time to meet on the following Monday. We met; by end of day the IRS problem was resolved. For Mr. Viola, this was "another uneventful day at the office." For me, he thwarted a potentially traumatic event.

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.

Joseph Viola is very personable, approachable attorney who maintains an excellent relationship with the IRS and State and City tax agencies. Joseph is no push over but used the law to get me excellent results. Joseph has been a dedicated counsel and friend. I feel bad that I am eating into his per...sonal time, but Joe constantly assures me that it’s okay, and he’s always available. Joseph is well known and liked at the IRS tax offices in Philadelphia. The IRS knows his reputation of doing the right things and as such a trust is already established which allowed for the proper attention and resolution to happen in my case. I thought that negotiations with the IRS would be a complex stressful event but Joseph work with both the IRS and myself to get all matters resolved in timely manner that prevented any financial hardship from tax lien or garnishment from occurring. Joseph handled all aspects of my case and no paralegal was involved. This is much different than the large tax attorney corporations that ask you to call 800 numbers for tax problems. Joseph detailed knowledge of the taxpayers collection process allowed me to have a solution to my tax issues that were tailored to my situation. Joseph put all his knowledge and experience with working with IRS agents for years to work for me in a personalized manner. As such I was able to have all my tax issues solved.
