Worth every single penny.

I have been working with Rosefelt on my account for the past few years, and I can't imagine using anyone else. Not only did they save me a significant amount of money, but Daniel Rosefelt also took the time to explain every aspect of my case, including the possible outcomes and the best course of act...ion. I am eternally grateful for the excellent work done by the team. Hire with confidence.

RICH

I called seeking advice on a tax interest bill i recieved. Daniel was very receptive, and had such awesome respect for me. He couldn't help my situation personally. But took the time to advise me of a solution that I didn't even know existed. This man is just awesome. Thank you Daniel !!!

Extremely Helpful

Daniel Rosefelt was extremely helpful in resolving a significant tax issue that I experienced. I couldn’t be more pleased with the expertise, guidance and outcome that I received by working with Daniel Rosefelt and his firm, and I would highly recommend them to anyone experiencing a tax related issue.... Prior to contacting Daniel, I had corresponded with the IRS and provided them with documentation on my own with no success. Daniel and his team conducted thorough research in my case, by reviewing many of my documents, confirming key details, and requesting information from the IRS. Dan took the time to explain the situation to me from both a practical and tax code perspective and we discussed all of my options. He was patient, thorough and easy to work with. Once I had decided how to proceed, Daniel used his expertise to write a letter citing the specific tax code, and regulation that applied in my case and thoroughly outlining my argument and the facts of the situation. Just recently I received correspondence from the IRS saying that my issue was resolved to their satisfaction and they were no longer seeking any aditional payment. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome
