Top notch attorney

Mr. Genet was very efficient and delivered on his promises. I hired him to assist with contract reviews and he completed it within the week as promised! He's always available to speak with and it's nice to have his direct phone number for addition questions I had. I was so satisfied with his service,... I hired him to assist with my new business venture and IRS compliance. I hired him for various issues and have referred him many times over!

Dan Genet SAVED me from an impossible IRS situation

If it wasn’t for Dan Genet’s legal expertise and commitment to helping me work through my IRS issues, my life would still be a disaster. I have known Danny personally and professionally for over two decades and give him the highest recommendation possible. If you are fighting with the IRS in any ca...pacity, I STRONGLY recommend you reach out to Dan. Reach out to him NOW!! I should have done it years ago, but as this review will explain, I thought I could do it on my own. Since 1999 I have been dealing with IRS issues that were never mine. The problem started in 1999 when my ex-wife unexpectedly moved out of state with our baby, keeping her 1099 income and selling stock she was gifted by her parents in the 80’s, neither of which she ever paid taxes on. At the same time the tech bubble burst, and as I was heavily leveraged, got wiped out. I went from being semi-retired with a baby to being homeless with a non-cooperative spouse almost overnight. Perhaps I was partially at fault by sticking my head in the sand for a few years at the start of the divorce when I was broke and broken-hearted, but my attention was at surviving and getting parenting time, and since I was unemployed, I never filed taxes for years 99-02. In short, my ex-wife’s tax issue somehow became my problem. I received my first letter from the IRS in 2005 stating I owed over $360,000. Over the next few years, this number grew as the IRS filed more liens on me. After many months of back and forth, in 2007 my old accountant was able to get someone from the IRS on the phone, and I heard the message confirming that they would remove the incorrect reporting and remove the liens, however, later that year I received a flurry of tax liens for years 1999-2011 totaling over $780,000. Not sure what to do, and having no money to do anything, I ignored them again until I got a visit from an IRS agent in 2010. She classified me as a “financial hardship” case that was non-collectable and recommended that I file bankruptcy to get a fresh start. I followed this advice, filed my BK, and once it was discharged, watched the liens disappear and enjoyed what I thought was finally a fresh start…but I was wrong. Shortly after the BK, I received new liens from the IRS, citing that the returns that the IRS filed on my behalf were not dischargeable and that I did owe that money with a staggering 22% penalty attached. When I called the agent that had “helped” me before, she recommended that I “move to a state where I didn’t have to wait 7 years to file BK again.” That’s when I broke down and called Dan. He took over. At the time I hired him, my debt was over $400,000. I was surprised when we made our initial offer of $1,014, but I followed Dan’s recommendations and advice. It was a slow and tedious process, and the IRS dragged their feet and was slow to respond throughout. Dan was all over them, and last year they made me a final offer of $21,000. Then Dan took it up with their Appeals Division. and I am pleased to say that a few weeks ago we finally settled for ~$5000, about 1% of what the original problem was. Dan lives in this world of dealing with IRS problems. Though the events that were taking place were profoundly stressful to me, to Dan, it was just another day and another opportunity to take care of me. While I broke down emotionally every time I would get a new letter from the IRS, Dan handled it professionally and systematically, ultimately securing a settlement that was beyond my wildest expectations, celebrating closure to what was almost a 20-year sentence for something I never did nor owed. IRS is a Federal entity, and if you think you can reason with them, you can’t--call Dan. The IRS came after me with fangs and used every legal avenue at their disposal to collect, ruthlessly. Dan knows their system and process and masterfully navigated all their BS to secure an incredible outcome for me. He will do the same for you! Stop reading and CALL Dan!

Our IRS Debacle.

On Aug.23,2013 we hired a taxing firm to handle our tax issues with the IRS in which we owed exactly $100,325 dealing with the IRS on our own was very difficult at its best. Offer in compromise we sough out as the best route to take trying to get our tax debt down. Will being dissatisfied with their ...services, IRS letters still coming to the house and the ability to keep us informed we started to loose interest and faith. After a few months passed and no new information coming fourth we could no longer couch our decision we needed a new tax law firm. Dealing with attorneys your paying shouldn't be stressful.. Doing our travels/research we came in contact with Daniel M. Genet attorney at law what a game changer and his fees fit our budget. Immediately after hiring him as our new tax attorney we could tell the right decision had been made. Daniel Genet ask for our documents and form 433-A, we also gave him temporary power of attorney to deal with the IRS on our behalf and within a couple of months the IRS stop all actions against us. During our process he called us on a regular keep us updated via phone/text/emails. Like a good neighbor Daniel was there. A few mo. later about 5mo.or so, our first offer was struck down he immediately got on the phone and contacted the IRS agent handling our case after his phone call a counter offer was made. The tenacity Daniel M. G displayed was amazing and our family will be forever grateful, and yes we were victorious winning our offer in compromise. Our debt to the IRS towering over $100,000 is now down to where we owe just $5,000. Our road was rough in the past but, we stand up and salute Daniel M. Genet attorney at law for paving the way to a brighter financial future. Thank you again and God Bless.
