Angie Lee Smith

I hired Angie Smith and TaxSmith, LLC in March 2024, paying $4,450 for legal help with a state tax garnishment. I signed a formal Service Agreement and Power of Attorney, expecting them to file an appeal, contact the tax agency, and negotiate a hardship resolution. They did nothing. No filings. No... proof of contact. No case numbers. Despite requesting documentation multiple times—including through their attorney—I was never given a shred of evidence that any action was taken. Meanwhile, my wages were garnished for over a year—more than $14,000 lost. Now, with growing interest and debt, bankruptcy is my only option. When I requested a refund, I was told I could only receive one if I withdrew my complaints from the Florida Bar, BBB, and other regulatory agencies. That was unacceptable. I’m a disabled veteran. I needed help. I got ignored. I've filed complaints with the Florida Bar, Texas and Florida Attorneys General, BBB, and FTC. This wasn’t just poor service—it was abandonment when I needed legal help the most. Do not trust this firm with your case.

After many years of having tax debt, my balance wasn't decreasing. We talked to several of the resolution companies and got nowhere. Also, they were very expensive. Finally we decided to talk to a tax lawyer. I called several. We came across Tax Smith, so i talked to one of their consultants, H...e was very knowledgeable. We decided to move forward. Once we did, we talked to the staff at Tax Smith.Everyone has been very knowledgeable and friendly. They kept in touch with us with an update on our case. After nine months we came up with a resolution we could live with. I feel so much better knowing that I am on the right track. Angie takes time out of her busy day to reassure you and answer your questions. Thank you so much Tax Smith.

We had a very large tax problem and anything that has to do with the IRS is no doubt nerve wracking and very stressful. After our pending tax bill sunk in, we did research as to see our options going forward. For a period of time we tried to discuss our situation and negotiate with the IRS in hopes w...e could come up with some kind of an amicable/reasonable settlement or arrangement. Unfortunately we did not at all succeed. We went back to the option table and started researching Tax Attorneys. We found most don't deal with the larger debts then we came across the firm TAX SMITH. Now with us living in California and them located in Jacksonville Florida, we at first had some reservations. It's definitely not every day we need the services of any lawyer much less a firm clear across the country but apparently this is not unusual. So we took the step and called the office to get further information and explain our very big mess and see if they could help. The initial gentleman was fantastic. He took the time to explain the process, answered all of our questions/concerns and was very upfront. Based upon our problem/large tax bill he gave us a set price and went through the option for payment plan and time to pay it off. It's a set price, no hidden fees and no matter how long the case takes there's no additional charges. It is also emphasized there's no guarantees your case will win which we appreciated the honesty going into a agreement with them. It's also emphasized the quality of the lawyers that will fight for you and they'll use anything and everything they can to fight for your case and how good they are at what they specialize in, TAX problems, big ones! So we started the process over the phone and from there to the end, everything is convenient and done through email, phone conversations and even text every now and then. We sent them all of our documents and they were on top of everything when they or the IRS needed anything additional. They are excellent with the communication. They kept us apprised of every step that was scheduled or what to possibly expect from their interaction with the IRS. Then just as things were moving along with our case, the pandemic hit. For a time the IRS offices they deal with had closed down, everything had come to a complete halt. They kept in touch with us through that delay period and assured us when they reopen they will be right back to the case filings and they certainly did. Being older and on limited income, the stresses of this entire mess we were in certainly can take its toll. Angie, Brianna, Christina and others were very understanding and genuine as to our personal stresses that were involved in this. Happy to report our case is finalized and the results were favorable to us. What a relief. Their experience, professionalism , honesty were very appreciated. We always were confident in knowing they truly were on your side, fighting for their clients and not just taking your money. As said earlier, there's no guarantees on the outcome and yes you still have to pay the fees no matter the outcome but know they are on your side and will fight for you We would highly recommend this firm for any complex tax problems big or small. Thanks for the excellent service Angie!
