Amazing Results!!! (Hire Her Immediately)

Ms. Winstead was absolutely outstanding to work with! I was faced with an overwhelming tax debt that I never thought i could resolve. I had contacted several attorneys before hiring Ms Winstead to handle my case but no one, besides her, seemed to have a plan to address the unique circumstances of m...y case. Everyone that I had previously spoke with had a generic solution that they were going to apply instead of understanding all of the intricacies and solving to them. From our initial conversation I felt that she was going to take the time to fully understand my case and devise a plan that best suited my situation. When I hired Beverly my accounts had been seized and my paychecks were being garnished. Ms Winstead worked to stop those aggressive actions and began to work with my case officer on my behalf to resolve my case. There were complications during the process and my case officer was very rigid and didn't seem to want to negotiate any terms other than the maximum that he could impose. Beverly worked diligently to find terms that satisfied the IRS and fit my circumstances. My case is now closed and i am so grateful for her services. I highly recommend her\ to anyone reading this review.

Excellent representation

I hired Ms. Winstead after dealing with two big companies that were advertised on TV who did nothing but take my money. Ms. Winstead got my case closed with a very aggressive IRS officer with the IRS because she actually does her job and doesn't just take your money like the big companies do. I wou...ld highly recommend that you use her services if you are having IRS problems.

The Best Tax Consultant around!!

Attorney Winstead is an excellent attorney, and consummate professional. She handled my case with ease, and explained all of my options succinctly. I can't imagine getting thru this ordeal without her guidance, and expertise. I would recommend her a 100 times to all of my friends and family. The deci...sion I made to hire her was the best decision I ever made. Beverly, thanks so much for all that you do.

Great attitude, great results!

Ms Winstead was a pleasure to work with. She helped obtain an offer-in-compromise that greatly reduced my tax debt. I would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a great tax attorney.

Outstanding service, dedicated and caring attorney!

Would highly recommend and have recommended Ms Winstead for your Tax and accounting needs. There's nothing better than the feel of lifted burdens when IRS says you owe them thousands and Ms Winstead does her magic and your bill is reduced to $500.00! My family and friends referred, have all highly a...greed. I think you will too.
