Joseph R Viola

Mr. Viola is an exemplary attorney, tax advisor, and human being. He does not take any client, so if you get to be his client, know that you are a fortunate person and that your tax issues will be handled in the best way possible. My story: My problems started a few years before I contacted him, when... I realized I had assets in another country that required special tax forms. During these years, tax season became an extremely stress-generating and frustrating experience. Mostly in part due to other tax firms not delivering what they had promised. I contacted many different tax firms and I was consistently left disappointed by their frequent delays, lack of communication, high fees, and even multiple glaring errors. In hindsight, many of these tax firms were more into marketing than actually providing tax preparation services. After another firm messed up my return, I knew I had to fix it, and that is when I found Mr. Viola. He was a heaven-sent. He took the time to listen to my tax situation, understood what had happened, and knew what had to be done. Always responsive, he was the only person during all these years who called me and spent over an hour on the phone to go over the return to make sure everything was right. No one else had done this before him. And thanks to his diligence, expertise, and experience, the amended tax return was filed successfully. I really wished I had known him years ago, I would have saved so many headaches, frustration, and money. If you have tax issues, be sure to ask Mr. Viola. If you get to work with him, feel fortunate that you are working with one of the best people in the field. Thank you Mr. Viola! You have made my life much better.

I found Mr. Viola by happy accident. I realized I was in dire straits with the IRS on a Saturday and began calling other firms and leaving messages expecting to be answered Monday. I happened across Mr. Viola’s website and realized he was local. To my surprise, Mr. Viola called me back within 30 minu...tes that Saturday and took his time asking me questions and letting me tell by tax tale which included enduring a levy that had already left me financially paralyzed. Monday he spent researching my situation. I met with him that evening. He clearly explained what had happened and what remedies were available and presented a game plan that was put into place by the end of the week. The explanation and the advocacy was something my previous attorney could not accomplish in over a year. Mr. Viola was able to restore my income while negotiating with the IRS. I highly recommend Joe Viola. His advice is always clear and to the point, and with a touch of humor.

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

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.
