Honest, great tax attorney! Highly recommend!!

Thankfully online reviews led us to Darrin 1.5 yrs ago. He literally saved my husband and self from over 300,000 in tax debt. Unfortunately, my husband's ex wife had never turned in corporate and personal returns despite having my husband sign them. I am so grateful to Darrin and his staff. If you ...have IRS problems you can't afford not to hire him. He has lifted a burden that has hung over us for years. Still cannot believe it is over. I was so leery of hiring someone he is the real deal!

Saved Me!

I owed the IRS well over $100,000.00. I didn't know what to do. I was scared to do anything for fear that the IRS would take everything I had or even throw me in jail. I finally called the Law Offices of Darrin T. Mish. They were very nice to me. They explained all of my options to me and we sett...led on trying to file an Offer in Compromise. The process took a LONG time and I had to fill out lots of paperwork but eventually I got my answer! It was a YES! So when you hear that people can settle for pennies on the dollar with the IRS. It's true.....take it from me.

He Definitely Did Right By Me!

I am a single mother of a small child. I used to be married but my ex-husband ultimately went to prison for abusing me and other various violent crimes. After he was in prison for a while, I got a letter from the IRS indicating that my husband and I owed $42321. He used to work under the table and ne...ver reported the income. When the IRS got the 1099 forms, the changed our tax return and it showed that we owed all that money! I didn't understand that since we filed a joint return, that I was on the hook for the big tax bill too. I went to see Mr. Mish thinking that I might be able to make a deal with the IRS. He explained how an Offer in Compromise works but said he wanted to try Innocent Spouse Relief first. He helped me fill out all the papers and submitted them to the IRS. After what seemed like forever (but really ... I used to be married but my ex-husband ultimately went to prison for abusing me and other various violent crimes.

After what seemed like forever (but really about 8 months) the IRS came back and said I didn't have to pay and they would go after my ex! The process took a long time but they explained everything along the way and predicted exactly what would happen. Overall, I am very satisfied and strongly recommend this law firm to anyone with a tax problem

Dont Use He Will Take your Money, and do nothing but miss lead you.

I went to Darrin Mish and paid him to settle IRS problem. and I met with every Attorney and employee in his office. I sent my records over to them 3 times and every time they lost them. And I sent them by registered mail. Finally I had to hand deliver them to his office. To make a long story short he... was untruthful and very nonprofessional to be an atty. So I would not recommend any to this Atty. I ended up settling it on my own, and what I paid him would have paid half my settlement.

Replied last September 16, 2015

The first time I read your review I was disappointed. Not for the reason that you probably think. I was disappointed that you felt like your case didn’t matter or that it wasn’t handled appropriately. Poor business reviews are an opportunity for me to see where we fell short. They allow me to see what I may not have seen before and they allow me to set goals to improve in those areas of shortcomings. All businesses fall short sometimes. I wish that that wasn’t the case. I know that your case has been closed for at least three years. How do I know this? I know because I personally handle every matter and there have been NO instances as you describe during that time frame. Sometimes clients feel frustration (and perhaps rightfully so) when they are repeatedly asked for documentation. Sometimes this is because the client can’t get themselves current (meaning all past returns filed and estimated tax payments made) and then the case slides further and further down the line. It becomes unsolvable because the taxpayer actively is making the problem worse every day! When you aren’t having sufficient withholding or making appropriate estimated tax payments, NO professional can resolve an IRS problem. Another very common problem is that clients are asked to provide complete documentation but they only provide some of the documentation. This again, results in the delayed resolution of the case. In the past, I made a serious error. The error was that I was too forgiving of clients who didn’t fully cooperate. They would have excuses and any number of reasons why they couldn’t possibly do the reasonable things that I was asking them to do. But I’ve learned something fascinating over the years. The nicer I am to them (meaning the more time I give them to procrastinate) the longer the case ultimately takes to resolve. And even more fascinating is the fact that clients begin to blame ME for how long the matter has taken to be resolved. In order for me to truly help, I have to PUSH the case along, offer some tough but kind hearted love, and move the case to final resolution. That’s what we have been doing since January 2014. Lastly, I have been the ONLY attorney in the firm for almost two years now. During 2011 and 2012 we experienced tremendous growth that did cause some challenges in client communication. Those have been rectified for over two years now. I am genuinely happy to hear that you resolved your problems with the IRS. No one deserves to have that hang over their head. I’m very sorry that things didn’t work out between us. I will use this review to strive to not only meet but exceed future client’s expectations.
