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 comfort...able, and helped me sleep at night even before I knew what the final result would be. I'll sleep really well from now on!!!

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 m...y 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 tim...e 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

Integrity, honesty, professionalism and compassion.

Darrin took time to advise me on how to resolve my tax problem on my own. I consulted two of the major tax relief companies which changed the amounts of the retainer just before I was about to sign a contract for them to represent me. I thought that the retainer amount should not have changed but I... do understand the fees for service will vary greatly based on the complexity of the case. Because I didn't feel comfortable with the way they did business I declined and began researching the internet. I learned of Darrin T. MIsh on You Tube and by watching his videos I contacted him about my individual tax debt of $41,588.35 from 1998 to 2008. Since a levy to garnish wages at $1,107.98 p/mo had already been enforced he said I should get transcripts of my record of account, verify the CSED (collection statute expiration date), and try to negotiate with the IRS on my own. On Thursday, 9/17/15 at 8:30am I went to the IRS office in Phoenix and initially the revenue agent said I owed the full amount. When I asked about CSED he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about so I asked to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor knew exactly what CSED was and after about 40 minutes of reviewing my case she called a individual taxpayer advisor to come to her office and instructed her to prepare a Form 688-D to release the levy on my wages. Then the supervisor told me that because the 10 year statute of limitations passed on tax years 2002 and older, I was not liable to pay the tax as it is unenforceable. She did say that I owed $6,308.39 and asked how much can I afford to pay each month, I said $600 and she agreed and prepared the Form 9465 for me to sign. The supervisor gave me copies of the Levy Release, Installment Agreement and transcripts to verify all CSED years 1998 to 2002 were unenforceable. The individual taxpayer advisor came back with a fax confirmation from my employer to verify they received the levy release and gave me a copy. I left the IRS office at 12:00 pm and called my employer and HR verified they received the levy release and will stop the wage garnishment immediately. I NEVER could have accomplished this without watching the You Tube videos from Darrin T. Mish and some additional research of my own. Darrin, you rock! and thank you for urging me to give this a try. I was totally prepared to ask you to represent me and send you a retainer if I was on the hook for the entire $41k. The main reason for my post is because even though I did not pay you for any advice or hire you to represent me, you were willing to take valuable time from your schedule to communicate with me and help me solve my tax problem on my own. That is a sign of integrity, honesty, professionalism and compassion. If I ever need your services or know of someone who does, I would be confident to refer them to you! By the way, I even sent Darrin a copy of the Form 688-D Release of Levy/Release of Property from Levy to show him the results. The only advice I can offer is the national tax relief companies don't compare to Darrin, do your research, gather your documentation, be polite and respectful when dealing with the IRS, be reasonable when agreeing to a solution, but stand your ground and make your position known. The entire experience with the IRS was friendly and courteous even if the revenue agent did act as if he didn't know about the 10 year statute of limitations on collecting tax debt. The supervisor was the key to the solution in my case. After 4 hours I reduced my tax debt from $41,588.35 to $6308.39 and stopped the wage garnishment of $1,107.98 p/mo and set up a $600 p/mo payment plan. I must admit Darrin T. Mish and his You Tube videos were the major influence on my tactics and the results. I could have posted about 1,400 more words (which) I sent to Darrin, but there is not enough space. If you need tax help, contact Darrin T. Mish!

Daniel - I wish all clients took my advice like you did. Super happy that it worked out so well for you!

Posted by Beau | September 23, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Debt Settlement

Darrin Mish is amazing!!!

I hired Darrin Mish due to an IRS letter stating that I owed over $111,000.00 for several years of past due taxes. After putting my mind at ease, I could only hope for an outcome that wouldn't destroy my financial future. I am happy to say that we have settled with the IRS for $50, no, that is not a ...typo. Hire Darrin Mish, follow his guidance, and feel confident that he will get you the best result possible. Thank you again Darrin!!! Sincerely B.W
