Daniel Charles Joseph Friedel

I contacted Mr Friedel by phone to ask about a specific tax question. After explaining my situation, he was able to provide excellent advise over the phone which helped me to understand how this situation would affect my taxes for the upcoming year. His explanation was very easy to understand and ma...de good sense. Thank you for taking the time to assist me!

After Uncle Sam cleaned out my bank accounts, I researched and hired Daniel Friedel based on reviews here at Avvo. The reviews were genuine. I presented Mr. Friedel with multiple years of tax problems. He assured me I wouldn't land in jail and set about straightening my tax problems. Daniel compl...eted the missing tax returns for my signature and sent them off. I am extremely pleased with his efforts, beginning with getting the IRS to send my employer a release of levy at 10pm, to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel as refunds for overpayments have begun to arrive.

Daniel Friedel was very thorough and thoughtful in preparing and representing my company during a Department of Revenue audit, which even under the best circumstances can can be a daunting experience. He remained communicative through the entire process with regular updates and was always available t...o answer any questions and take the time to explain every step. His knowledge and expertise in navigating through an audit was superb. A few errors on my end would probably have blown into a major issue had I gone in alone. Mr. Friedel knew exactly what to provide, what was unnecessary, and how to contest an issue satisfactorily. What could have left me possibly owing thousands in penalties and interest to the DOR ended being less than $100, plus the legal fees. Money well spent. Without knowing the law inside and out, we are like lambs to the slaughter even if we believe everything's in order. Leave it to a professional like Mr. Friedel to represent you.

As owner of a large sports center for children in Gainesville, FL, I whole-heartedly and without hesitation recommend Daniel Friedel for legal representation and defense if ever sited by the State of Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) for potential sales tax violations. In 2013 our company unde...rwent a painful Sales Tax Audit by Florida’s DOR resulting in a notice of sales tax violation for unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest amounting to $127,800. We immediately solicited the help of the Martello Law Group to legally represent us and dispute these claims. Daniel Friedel was the attorney at the Martello Law Group that willing took our case. Through Daniel’s diligence, in-depth research, and understanding of the law, he was able to reduce our liability to the DOR to only $9,200, an amazing 93% reduction from the original amount! In doing this, Daniel was able to uncover critical, detailed information from similar past cases and audits that supported our arguments. What’s more, his patient, positive attitude was a welcome relief during those times of uncertainty, apprehension, and stress. He always kept calm and always clearly explained what was being done and what to expect next as he walked us through the process. Moreover, Daniel’s legal fees were modest, something that we were more than willing to pay for the reduced tax liability and peace-of-mind that we received. We were very happy that we connected with Daniel and had him represent us. One positive outcome of this exercise was that Daniel carefully and painstakingly instructed us as to what specific services our business now must collect sales taxes on. We can now move forward with confidence that we are on good footing from a sales tax perspective. Although I hope we never have to go through this experience again, if we do, I will surely seek-out Daniel Friedel first to represent and defend us.
