Above and beyond

It is very rare that I take the time to write a review, much less a recommendation letter but my experience with the Peck Group, specifically Jason Peck warrants the effort. In 2019 I found myself in a major predicament. An LLC I had invested in several years prior had neglected to pay required... taxes including payroll trust fund taxes. To make matters worse I was designated as a "responsible party", even though I was just a passive investor and had nothing to do with the company's operations. I contacted an attorney I had used in the past for various business purposes to seek advice. He immediately recommended that I contact Jason Peck. After my initial consultation with Jason I knew I was at the right place. Jason did not sugarcoat the situation. He explained to me how seriously the IRS takes payroll trust fund tax violations and the fact that my official time to challenge my designation expired only made it a bigger hurdle. But he also confidently stated that although my situation was "out of the box", his job was to find someone within the IRS hierarchy that would not only listen to the facts but also have the authority to over turn an unjust situation. Jason then facilitated a "compromise" action with the IRS. In April of 2020, my financial advisor/broker informed me that the IRS had levied several hundred thousand dollars from my account which required that my account be liquidated! I immediately called Jason in a panic. The first thing Jason did was tell me to "take a deep breath" and committed that he would do everything possible to rectify the situation. The first thing Jason did was contact my broker, assure him that a mistake had been made and implore him not to do anything with my account. Jason then obtained from my broker the specific IRS agent that facilitated the garnish process. Within a couple of hours Jason contacted the IRS agent, convinced him that a mistake had definitely been made, and got the IRS agent to immediately provide documentation to the brokerage house that indeed a mistake had been.....all accomplished within 24 hours! Jason's efforts didn't stop there. Over the next several months Jason was persistent to find that "person" within the IRS who again, would listen and had authority. Eventually Jason identified the correct IRS employee to address my situation. Jason successfully argued and IRS agreed that I was NOT a "responsible party"! Obviously, I was ecstatic about the final outcome, but it was how Jason conducted himself throughout the process that has made such an impression on me. From day one Jason made an effort to know all the facts regarding my case; not only asking many initial questions but following up on several occasions just to make sure there was nothing overlooked. He consistently reached out to let me know the status of my case, even when it was to tell me there was nothing to report. I never felt I was falling through the cracks but rather felt that my case was important to him. So with that said, it should be no surprise that I HIGHLY recommend the Peck Group to represent, whether it's an individual or company, anyone who finds themselves with any tax litigation issues.

He saved my life!

I hired the world's worst bookkeeper she lied, cheated, and stole from me. Then on top of that an employee stole from me, tried to be bribe me, and then the IRS showed up as a result. It was a tough few year period. I came to Jason, lost, scared, and afraid. He helped me organize my thoughts, my ...life, and then helped me deal with the IRS. He worked well with me, was a great communicator, and truly saved my financial future. He was a blessing!

Tax Preparer Penalty Fees

I hired Dr. Peck to help with my tax preparer penalty issue. From our first meeting, I felt immediate relief because he knew what he was doing and the best way to help me. My case lasted only a few months during which we were in constant communication. I never felt that my case was left in a drawe...r. My calls were always returned in a timely and professional manner. I would recommend Dr. Peck to anybody with a tax issue. Mine was successfully closed without much anxiety from my part.

Anxiety Relieved

I left the real estate crash of 2006-2008 with signifiant losses but, amazingly, significant liability left over from the "good years" before the burst. With the unorthodox position of little assets and great liability, Jason helped my wife and I real a true understanding of the options available to ...us.
