Solid partner to help you resolve your tax matter
I was dealing with some substantial penalties due to failure to file. I consulted with Darrin to determine if there were options to abate the penalties given my overall positive tax-paying history. He explained the difference between a first-time penalty abatement waiver and penalty relief due to reasonable cause. In my initial meeting, Darrin looked over my IRS notices and we had an honest dialogue about my circumstances and what I felt were factors that contributed to my late filing. He stepped me through the reasons that are most often deemed legitimate. He also cautioned me that I needed to build a solid case for how my circumstances influenced my failure to file on a timely basis. In the end, based on the facts I had provided, he concluded that it would be best for me to document the request to the IRS on my own. Before I left the office, he had emailed me an example of the format that should be used to document my request as well as the proper mailing address. Within 5 days, he had also mailed some additional literature that provided tips for communicating with the IRS. Overall, i found Darrin professional, generous with his time and candid in his final recommendation. After approximately three months of review by the IRS, I am happy to report that my reasonable cause letter was successful and the penalties were removed. Take my advice and do not hesitate to call him if you need a solid partner to help you resolve your tax matter.

Miracle worker
Darrin is literally a life changer. He settled my case for 0.17% of what I owed - NOT KIDDING!!! Truly a weight lifted off my shoulders and I can't speak highly enough about the process and the whole team. They were with me from the start through the finish and they reassured me, made me feel comfortable, and helped me sleep at night even before I knew what the final result would be. I'll sleep really well from now on!!!

Time well spent
I recently met with Mr. Mish regarding a issues. He spoke with both myself and my wife for over an hour and took the time to explain all of the information related to our situation. At the conclusion of our meeting he'd determined that we didn't really have a need for his service at that time. That being said, it was easily the most informative meeting I'd ever attended and certainly the best interaction I've ever had with a professional. He helped to change my perception and put me back in a good state of mind. Having established the relationship, should the need for services arise there will only be one place I go. I encourage anyone facing any tax related situation to contact Mr. Mish and let him set you straight.

Solid attorney that knows his stuff with the IRS
I spoke to Darrin back in April 2017 about my situation and at that time I did not need an attorney. Well August 2017 the IRS came knocking on my door. I was so terrified and worried and I called Darrin right away. His office staff was very helpful through this entire pain staking ordeal. I put my trust in Darrin and his staff and they came through. I had to do my part and supply them with all the information they needed and they were there every step of the way. I know I probably called more than I needed to, but they never seemed to mind. I had my OIC approved the other day and I am finally able to move on with my life knowing this is all behind me. I can't thank Darrin and his staff enough. They gave me my life back from the IRS.

What An Attorney Should Be
When I first contacted Darrin Mish I had a serious issue which needed to be resolved quickly. I was not in a position to pay what was expected of me and was feeling unrelenting pressure by the IRS. Darrin took my case and I paid him his fee to "take me to the end and resolution" It took a long time and there were many rejections of the Offer In Compromise. He stayed with it and was effective in negotiating me to the point where the debt was finally settled, and I am now I have a clear record with no blemishes visible on the credit bureau reports. During the process of resolving my issue we had gone well beyond what I would have expected to pay for his services and he never once asked me to pay anything more. He is a man of his word, and knows his trade. I have referred several people to him and will continue to going forward. I have received a "thank you" along with words of praise about him from all of the people that I have sent to him. John

Tampa's top IRS attorney
I was recommended Darrin's office by a close friend and long time colleague who has excellent results. Darrin's office negotiated an agreement that quite frankly exceeded my expectations. However, it's the after the conclusion of that matter that really shows what a class business this is. I've had multiple small questions recently that I needed some guidance on. Heather has always been extremely prompt, courteous and helpful with great advice on how to handle these matters, including telling me straight up that if I did a, b and c it wouldn't be worth it to retain them. That's rare. Highly recommended if you ever need someone to competently have your back on any tax matters.

The BEST TAX ATTORNEY
Best experience I have ever had with any arrirney, or Law Firm. Darrin Mish responded to my every inquiry immediately, with not only information I needed, but with a professionalism and compassion I had never received in prior attorney relationships. He took on a nearly impossible IRS problem, persevered, and WON it for me. I am eternally grateful to him and his great staff.

Review for Darrin Mish
My wife and I are very thankful to Darrin Mish for all the professional help that he has given us over a tax situation that had gone on on for a few years. Darrin was able to get my wife completely off of owing anything and my amount was reduced from well over $200,00 to below $50,000. We would highly recommend Darrin Mish for any tax issues that you may have, he is totally worth the money. We would also like to thank Heath Mish for her wonderful help and Patience as well as her staff.

Top Notch Professionals
Darrin and his team are top notch professionals. When I came to see them, I was overwhelmed and I did not know how to handle my tax issues with the IRS. From Day 1, they have listened to my concerns and advised me of the best course of action for my situation. They have always been available to me when I needed them for help. When speaking with Darrin, you can tell that he genuinely wants his clients to do well and succeed. Although the entire process of handling my IRS situation has been challenging at times, I am glad that I finally made the choice to face the challenge and get things back in order. I am now back on a better path. I would like to give special thanks to Darrin, John, and Heather. I am very grateful for their help. If you have tax issues and you want solid professional guidance, you should contact Darrin's office for help with your situation.

Expert in this area of practice.
I hired Darrin to assist me to clear 2 tax lines for a client, My clients were elderly 1st time homebuyers that were finally able to buy a home for the 1st time in their life because we got this issue resolved. Once I called her and told her that I was successfully able to get the issue resolved with Darrin, she started crying. If you owe the IRS money, Darrin should be your 1st call!! Excellent in this space, very knowledgeable regarding the rules & laws. Surprisingly Darrin is able to represent taxpayers anywhere in the US!

Considering the scope the firm's abilities the help that I needed with my taxes was a walk in the park for Darrin and his associates. That being said though, I was treated very well from each and ever person there and I was also treated to be just as important as any other customer no matter what my situation was in comparison

AMAZING INTEGRITY AND HONESTY
I found Mr. Mish online after a quick search. I am so glad I chose to consult with him. Mr. Mish carefully reviewed my case and offered his sincere advice from all different angles. He spent considerable time advising me on what I could do next even though his suggestion was outside of hiring him as my attorney. I left there feeling like he really cared and wanted the best for me regardless if he was able to take the case. If need be, I would definitely seek his services in the future.

This office is the best. Icould not imagine using anyone else.
At a point in life I needed help straightening IRS issues out. I called Mr. Mish . My Issues were handled with professionalism and in a very timely manner with courteous and sincere respect. The IRS can be a huge dragon. The anxiety of fighting such a beast without Mr.Mish and everyone in his office was overwhelming. That was years ago and I still use this office for all my tax needs. Iremember Misti Moss and Mr.Mish is right she is a saint you do not know sometimes what people are going through . Everyone that I have spoke with in this office has shown respect , compassionate, professional, words and knowledge .I seriously feel that the negatives people write are throwing stones at the wrong people .Everyone in this office Samantha Heather Kurt Darrin and sorry if I missed anyone ,,,,,you are the best .Thank You All. God bless you All , Sincerely Roberta

Miracle Worker!
Darrin Mish resolved a very expensive and difficult tax problem for me. From our first meeting (which was just a few days after my call), he was knowledgeable AND compassionate. He explained, in clear English, how we could proceed. And then, we did! It took a little longer than he anticipated, but apparently the IRS moves at its own pace. This review applies to Darrin and to EACH of his employees. Everyone I worked with -- in person and on the phone -- was professional and understanding.
