Larry Heinkel

Mr. Heinkel totally refunded my deposit and I appreciated it so much. I would recommend his firm to people in Florida who need a tax attorney.

I called Mr. Heinkel with an unusual situation. He took my call, listened, discussed the matter and graciously referred me to another lawyer with specialized expertise about my situation, at no charge. It was a pleasure to do business with him.

Larry & his team have helped me solve many tax problems indeed. His team has helped me through multiple audits and restore a great standing with the IRS. He is not your typical IRS-relief attorney - Larry knows exactly what he's doing, and is an incredible asset for any business owner or entrepreneur to have on their team. My investment in his services has paid itself off greatly -- there's MANY taxes, fees & penalties I would have paid to the IRS if not for Larry knowing how to optimize all these things. Larry is an honest guy -- he's always been REALLY fair with me on fees. On multiple occasions, Larry will offer a discount or not bill for something just because it's a simple issue. He's not one of these unhappy lawyers just trying to bill you for every minute he can -- he seems to genuinely enjoy helping people navigate their way around the tax world... He's got a great team in April, Patti & Pete -- I originally engaged Larry for solving some tax problems, but have since started moving all my accounting activities over to his firm. Tax Problem Solvers seems to be the type of firm you want to build a long term relationship with -- they'll treat you fair, perform their jobs well, and be an increasingly valuable resource as they better understand how you & your business/assets work... I'm really surprised to see anything less than a 5-star review for Larry -- both as a person & professional. He's certainly not comparable to most other tax services you'll see out there. He's not even comparable to other CPAs & accounting firms I've used. But Larry & Tax Problem Solvers is certainly an incredible partner for any business owner or entrepreneur who is looking to either clean up or optimize their tax liabilities...

I owed the IRS more than $3M due to a complicated accounting dispute related to the sale of a large industrial property. Larry was very helpful in negotiating an installment payment plan that resulted in a waiver of the penalties (although not the interest) that the IRS originally charged. Although not inexpensive, he was always available and responsive.

I could not begin to describe the overwhelming despair that my husband and I felt after finding out the situation that we were in with the IRS. We truly did not think that we would ever have our financial problems resolved. Then we had the good fortune of being referred to The Heinkel Tax Law Group and we were teamed with April Serrano. In the most difficult time of our lives April helped us when most needed. I have never had such peace and confidence in anyone. Not only did April display such professionalism and efficiency, but she took the time to explain everything to us each step of the way. She would respond to each question immediately and was so understanding of our concerns. With our financial future being in such chaos we were in the best hands possible. The outcome with the IRS was far better that we could have ever imagined and we know that this was all due to April and her knowledge. I would passionately direct anyone to April that may need the same help and guidance as my husband and I. We will never be able to express the thankfulness and gratitude that we have for April.

I was in no mental condition to deal with an IRS Officer. Years of stress prior to making a huge "error in judgement" on a return. Numerous hospitilaztions. I needed a tough lawyer to deal with my state of mind and a Lawyer who had a good working relation with the IRS Officer. This is the man. I paid. Could have been far worse. Sanity utterly restored, finances quickly on the mend. Mr. Heinkel did much behind the scenes research to look for any lawful money to be saved. I trust him implicitly. Like any staff of doctors and nurses when you are horribly sick, both he and his staff were working on my behalf even when I could not see them. Years of stress washed away.

Larry’s input regarding my tax problem has put me and my family at ease. Now I can plan and move forward and not be afraid of the IRS.

My IRS problems started while going through a messy divorce. My divorce attorney referred to a local Daytona attorney to assist me in working with the IRS (not Larry). This attorney, after reviewing my case, recommended I submit an offer in compromise. Her staff sent me the paperwork and it was completed and returned with one week. There was some urgency as I had already received a couple of intent to levy notices. When I sent the last signed document for the OIC, I expected it they would send it off to the IRS immediately and I would hear something back from her. One month passes and there was nothing from her office, so I sent an email asking for an update. They replied they were waiting a piece of information requested from me they claim to had not received. I found that document in my sent mail, dated one month prior and forwarded it to them so they could see they already had it. So, now I think everything is under control, right? A few weeks later, I receive a notice from the IRS that she did not include my check for the lump sum that was required with the OIC. So, she redid all of the paperwork, cut a check and mailed it again. At this point, we are over 2 months from her receiving everything from me she needed. Another month passes and I receive a letter stating she sent it to the wrong address and it was forwarded to the correct address by the IRS office that received it in error. Two week later, the IRS drained all of my accounts. I called my attorney to ask what happened, since surely she had been in contact with them from the get go, and they knew I was trying to work with them. Didn't the check I sent to them count for anything? Come to find out she had no contact with them at all!! Oh, and she charged me for all of the hours of her spending time fixing her own mistakes. That OIC was eventually declined. Over the next couple of years, I worked with the IRS on my own, and luckily had a very nice and knowledgeable officer that suggested another OIC, because I needed to buy more time and had no money to pay. Over the next year, while making regular payments on my OIC, my income was stabilizing and I was getting back on my feet. That OIC was denied. Okay, I'm in a position to pay the rest with an installment plan. So, I file the plan and submit to the IRS. A few months go by, and I come home to find an IRS agent had been to my house and left a card on the front door. I'm making payments on time, no missed payments, so why now? At this point, I'm considering bankruptcy because the payment I submitted is the best I could do, and they were not going to approve it. I consulted an attorney in Daytona who said I didn't not qualify for Chap 7 due to my income, and Chap 11 is my only option. It was not an option for me, so she referred me to an IRS attorney, who is a specialist in this field. Here is where Larry walks into the picture. He handled everything for me with the IRS and I never had to see or speak to them. Then, he informs me that I do qualify for a Chap 7 because my debt is primarily non consumer debt. Wow. He is the most knowledgeable attorney in this area and I am so happy I found him. My IRS debt was discharged in Chap 7. The weight that has been lifted from me, after years of stress, both emotional and financial, is incredible!! From the first day I consulted with Larry, to the time my paperwork was filed for bankruptcy, was less than three weeks, and the meeting with the trustee was shortly after that. His office sure doesn't waste any time. What a relief!!! If I ever need a competent attorney in the future, I know where to go first this time!

This firm should be your very first call. I have carefully selected and reached out to several highly-rated firms, but this one is running laps around the rest. Mr. Heinkel is not only a competent, honest, compassionate attorney; it is clear that he has meticulously hand-selected those he chooses be part of his team. The receptionist, the paralegal, and the attorney were all on the same page; they were patient, informative, straight-forward, honest, and, above all, understanding. Everyone I encountered made me feel welcomed and reassured. It’s difficult to even describe such outstanding service, but I will say they will be the first I recommend and the first I return to should I ever have a need.

I decided I needed a tax attorney to represent me in dealing with the IRS due to having very large prior year taxes due, even though I was current in tax return filings, and having just received notice that the IRS had cancelled a prior installment agreement and were threatening me with wage garnishment, property liens, etc. After a brief telephone call with Larry, I set up a "game plan" meeting with him which proved to be tremendously informative and reassuring. I found Larry to be extremely knowledgeable, and he quickly outlined my options, listened to my desires relative to my financial state, and recommended a path forward that his firm would totally manage with the IRS on my behalf. I left feeling a great weight had been taken off my shoulders, and immediately sent a check to his office to complete our contract. I sent backup documents to his paralegal, had several discussions with her, provided a signed power of attorney form and was informed that a response to the IRS was in process. Surprisingly, a week later I received a letter from the IRS offering an installment payment plan that I could handle. I notified Larry who congratulated me, and then provided me with a full refund of my payment except for the time his paralegal had spent preparing my paperwork. His ethical, and forthright treatment of this unique situation gave me reassurance that his reputation is justly deserved. Without hesitation I will immediately engage Attorney Larry Heinkel should the need ever arise again.
