Basically, I rescue clients who are in a crisis with the IRS by first getting levies and garnishments released and then working out a long-term solution via a one-time settlement, a monthly payment plan, or currently not collectible status.

IRS Tax Lien release 2015

The IRS was in the process of executing a judgement they had on my personal taxes that I was really unaware of due to change of address in the amount of almost 200k USD. As I do not readily trust lawyers; therefore, I sought the advice of a law firm that I have had a successful corporate relationshi...p for over 15 years. Our corporate lawyers referred me to Mr. Miller as an expert in his field. Taking their advice was the best move I even took as he negotiated a payment plan that was less than 5% of what the IRS was seeking. In less than 3 years, I received a tax lien release for the entire balance due to the work Mr. Miller put into my case. I highly recommend Mr. Miller.

Taxes from the last 16 years unfiled and unpaid

We just had all our money taken out of our paycheck in one swoop by the IRS. This was going to continue every week as our paychecks continue to get deposited. We called all the big advertisements in a panic. Only one called us back and it was not even the person we needed. He did tell us that th...e miracle fixes only apply to a small number of cases. Even more scared we looked for someone local and came across Mike Millers add. We asked for help and got a call from Mike that evening. I think it was like 10pm. He also said there is no miracle fix as the big adds say. But said he would get to work on it right away and stop the garnishment I don't know how he did it, but he had the garnishment removed and the IRS at bay before our next check. We now have a small monthly payment and are compliant with the IRS

Wage Garnishment / IRS Problems

I could not have asked for a better attorney than Mr. Michael Miller P.A. Every attorney I've ever worked with in the past never calls you, doesn't keep you updated on your case, and a good majority of attornies out there truly don't really care about your charges, or how they can/will effect your l...ike. That is what separates Michael Miller from any other attorney I've worked with. He cares, and he shows it by his countless effort to get your case resolved. I retained Mr. Miller on a Wednesday due to the IRS garnishing my wages from work, by the following week he had the Wage Garnishment lifted, and is working with the IRS directly to get me put on an a monthly Installment Plan. The IRS office he had to deal with was so unprofessional, and wouldn't return his, plus the agent assigned to my case was on vacation of course, so Michael had to try countlessly for days to get answers to my problems. Finally, after Michael made probably 20+ phones calls in a few days he was able to get an IRS Agent to finally work with him, and he/she signed a release form and faxed it to my employer putting an end to my garnishment. God forbid I ever have issues with the IRS again, but if I ever do, Michael Miller P.A. will be the man I call, and he's the Tax Attorney I'lll refer to anyone who is in need of one. His price was very fair, I couldn't speak higher of him. Best attorney I've ever worked with by far!

Mike Miller shows a clear understanding of the law

I went to Mr. Miller when I was sued over an unpaid credit card debt. Even though Mr. Miller specializes in tax matters, he agreed to represent me in this lawsuit since I was his neighbor at the time. I was liable for this debt and had no real defenses, Mike Miller was able to convince the co...urt to deny the creditor’s summary judgment motion on a technicality on two separate occasions. The creditor finally gave up and agreed to drop the lawsuit without any payments from me if I agreed to not sue them for my legal fees. Mr. Miller is a smart, highly organized attorney who clearly knows how to think “outside the box”, I highly recommended.

MKM the Best

I was extremely pleased with the effort and results I received from Michael Miller on my legal matter. I recently retained Mr. Miller to pursue my legal claim after I had personally spent considerable time and effort for over a year trying to collect the amount due me, without success. Although my ...matter was relatively small in terms of dollars (less than $1,000), Mr. Miller gave me the impression that my matter was top priority for him and he backed that up with his actions and work ethic on my matter. When his initial demand for payment was ignored by the debtor, most attorneys would have given up given the amount involved and the potential to spend considerable hours on the matter and lose money on the engagement. However, Mr. Miller vigorously pursued my claim for several months, even going as far as making a personal visit to the debtor’s place of business regarding my claim. The debtor got the message that he was up against a very capable and aggressive attorney and eventually paid my claim in full. I was also lawfully levied by the IRS and Mr. Miller was able to get the federal tax levy against my bank account released and somehow (i.e., through his tenacity, determination, refusal to give up or give in to the IRS, etc.) arranged for the levied funds to be put back into my bank account even after the funds were paid by the bank to the IRS. In addition to his relentless effort in going to bat for me, Mr. Miller was very professional and courteous and communicated well throughout the entire process. Needless to say, I was quite pleased to find an attorney that appears to place a priority on getting justice and the best outcome for his client as opposed to maximizing his fees and profit from the engagement. Such an approach is truly a rarity these days. I highly recommend Mr. Miller to those looking for an honest, hard-working, and experienced attorney who will fight tirelessly for your rights and best interests.
