highly disappointed

I feel as though I was ripped off. After two years of fees with that firm, I couldn't afford to pay more. I had great success just going directly to IRS and wished I had not wasted my time with Mr. Mish. I don't feel that he had my best interest at heart, just interested in fees.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feelings regarding your experience with us. I'm sorry for anything we did to make you feel negatively towards our firm. Frankly it came as a surprise given our strong commitment to taking care of our clients. Our reviews show that, as well as our long string of victories cleaning up our client's IRS problems. Though we are very good at what we do we do for our clients, we do need active participation from them to be able to be able to help them. That means we need the information we request from them, when we request it. Otherwise it shuts down the entire works regarding what we can accomplish for them. If you call me at (813) 229-7100 I'd love to hear your specific thoughts regarding your experience with us. Again, I'm sorry your experience with us wasn't what you had hoped it would be. Give me a call and let's see if we can get things straightened out.

Terrible experince!!!!

Darrin Mish's off took 5 months to remove a simple tax levy. My net income at the time was $ 5600.00 and they finally got a installment agreement for $4447.00! How could I live on that? The case worker they got from the tax advocate office lost my file six times as I was only allowed to take home $72...7.38 thru those 6 month's! I had to quit my job and start on my own. Granted, I didn't file for a few years and got my self in trouble but I sure know Mish's office dropped to ball to try and get me out of it. He himself never worked on my case as I thought when I handed him $ 5000.00!

One of the problems that people sometimes run into is that the IRS levies their wages and the person hasn't filed returns in many years. This can make a wage levy almost impossible to remove. The client has no leverage and the IRS has all the power. Furthermore, there is a direct correlation between a client's willingness and ability to cooperate and the results that are obtained. I'm genuinely saddened that this occurred to you. As far as I never worked on the file, I have been the only tax lawyer on staff for over a year. This must have occurred quite some time ago. If you give me a call at (813) 229-7100 I'm willing to see what I can do for you.
