Daniel Genet Law Firm Review

I have only dealt with a few attorneys in my lifetime, and Daniel Genet is the best. Why? Daniel Genet and his staff were very kind, generous, and helpful during my case, and guided me thru the process with ease. Each and every question was answered day or night. I never had to be worried or scar...ed about not knowing what to do. My case before Mr Genet was hired had many problems which required a lot of work. Once Mr Genet was hired the case was completed in only 13 days, and Mr Genet had solved each and every problems. Every case is different, but having Mr Genet on my team sealed the victory in my case. Daniel Genet is very thorough and will always get the job done! I highly recommended Daniel Genet Law Firm to everyone in need of guardianship, probate, and family law because you will get an immediate stress reduction, all questions answered, outstanding professionalism for your case

Review - Mr. Daniel Genet

It’s hard to imagine finding an attorney who could better represent me than Mr. Daniel Genet. His counsel and patience helped me through a very trying experience that I fought long and hard to avoid. He helped me get on the other side of the divorce process and went out of his way to reduce the stres...s factor. I'm comfortably on the other side of the divorce now due to Mr. Genet's efforts. He did everything possible to put me in the best financial position possible and I won't ever forget him for doing that. He came very highly regarded and now I know why. I have the best divorce attorney in Tampa representing me. I will most energetically and confidently refer Mr. Genet to any of my friends who might need an outstanding divorce attorney. THANKS Dan!! Mr. Genet has surrounded himself with very supportive and competent legal assistants. One of those legal assistants is Ms. Claudia Guzman who likewise provided invaluable legal guidance and advise. Her insights on tough situations were extremely helpful and she always had an answer or a way forward on even the toughest of situations. She always provided responses in real-time and consistently displayed a very professional demeanor. Ms. Guzman projected a calmness to tough situations that was very much appreciated. Can’t thank you enough Claudia and THANK YOU!

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!
