Successful resolution to tax dispute

After a CPA we hired could not settle a tax dispute with the IRS we found another CPA who looked at our file and immediately referred us to Mr. Grant. Mr. Grant took great patience in writing several letters to the IRS and conducting phone calls on our behalf with the IRS, Mr. Grant was successful ...in the resolution of our claim for the entire amount in dispute plus interest. We are very happy with the professional advice Mr. Grant gave us while presenting our case to the IRS. His patience, persistence and diligence was unwavering. We are very grateful to Mr. Grant for his knowledge of tax law and the kindess shown to us. We would have no hesitancy in hiring Mr. Grant for future representation or in recommending him.

Our Estate Planning Attorney

There are so many attorneys in Florida, we did not know who to choose. Our financial planner recommended Gerrard. He helped us with our estate planning. He has a very pleasant personality, is communicative, answered all our questions and was flexible in terms of scheduling. We left feeling that we wo...uld do business with him again.

The IRS Audit Report Changes to our 2016 Form 1040

If I have learned anything in my life, it is to hire a great lawyer. Gerrard Grant met with my husband and I after a friend highly recommended Mr. Grant as the attorney to solve our 2016 Form 1040 puzzle. Late in 2018 I realized that my personal replies to all the threatening communication rece...ived from the IRS was fruitless. I was frustrated and emotionally exhausted. Plus all of the underpaid tax owed was immediately paid to the Treasury and identified as a mis-calculation by our accountant and due in 2016 Personal Income Tax. Yet the IRS continued to harass and threaten us with underpayment penalties and mounting interest fees. We retained Gerrard Grant to handle our case, and although this situation was unique, his tenacity and skillset navigated his plan through profession contacts, tax courts, appeals, and demonstration of IRS tax code inconsistency. It is now 2021, and Gerrard Grant stood fighting our battle through the audit. There are few taxpayers who come out ahead against the IRS, but soon our struggle will be over. The Department of the Treasury admitted changes to our 2016 Form 1040 resulting in refund. Thank you Mr. Grant.

Owner

I retained the services of Gerrard a few months ago and in a short time he has in my opinion proven to be worth every penny! My relationship with Gerrard started with him drafting, finalizing and executing an operating agreement. I would especially highlight the patience Gerrard demonstrated with my ...partners and I throughout a difficult process. Gerrard made the clear sense of what is typically unfathomable legal jargon. He took time to clearly articulate every aspect of the contract making sure I understood everything. It was evident throughout the process and in the formulation of my document that Gerrard had my best interest in mind and was intent on protecting my interests. Gerrard provided further assistance to me in responding to a civil lawsuit I was served. As one might imagine I was unnerved by the thought of being sued but Gerrard got involved and handled the situation completely. I would definitely use Gerrard again should the need arise and definitely recommend him to anyone.

Amazing Results

I received a letter from the IRS that I owed over $170,000 because my company did not send a report to the IRS onetime due to a change in the reporting deadline. I hired Gerrard to handle it for me. He put together an outstanding letter that explained my situation and he made a couple of follow up p...hone calls. As a result of his efforts the IRS sent a letter that they were forgiving all penalties and fees involved with my situation. The entire $170,000 was forgiven. The result was an answer to prayer since it would have been impossible for my company to make that type of a payment. I also referred an employee at my company to Gerrard. My employee hadn't filed tax returns in several years and was now facing garnishment of wages. Gerrard was also able to help him get on a payment plan and got penalties waived as well. Thanks to Gerrard for his dedication and hard work. I will refer anyone I know to him that has IRS issues.
