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.

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...
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.

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...
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.

Completely disappointed in the lack of professionalism
We hired Darren to handle an IRS tax issue that became our problem when our father passed away. We paid for their services and while we thought our issue was being handled, we received a letter from the IRS that Darren T. Mish was no longer representing us. Not a word from him or his associates, we...
I am aware of this case. This gentleman was not the client. His sister was actually the client. The two of them did not communicate well with each other. The issue actually turned out very well but this gentleman wanted to call repeatedly and demand that we spend time explaining issues to him when he was not the client. He generally had a very poor attitude and was very demanding. As for the fact that I did not return his calls, my attitude was that he was not the client, his sister received a great result and that should have sufficed. I suppose in hindsight, I should have taken his call and his abuse. It's likely he still would have posted a negative review. He could not be satisfied no matter the outcome.

Bewrae of this Firm and Office Manager Misti Moss
Same problem here too. Absolutely the worst experience ever had with an attorney. The office manager Misti Moss the worst person to ask help from. The attorney mr. Mish wont even return the calls if they get past the office manager. Lost my records and took my money and no help and no response to fix...
I believe this to be the same poster as above. Many people do want to speak to me when I am not the assigned attorney. Many of these people have complaints despite the fact that they completely fail to cooperate with us as counsel, then want to complain about a poor outcome. If you call and speak to Ms. Moss, I am sure you will agree that she is as close to a saint as they come. Some clients simply don't want to accept any responsibility for their own problems and completely fail to cooperate. The fact that you write a check does not mean that your problems will completely disappear. You have to help us help you.
