Virtual Consultation Available
Virtual Consultations Anywhere in Florida:
FREE CONSULTATIONS are a sales gimmick. If you want to talk to see if we "click", fine. But you can't properly "diagnose" a problem in a short, free consultation. You need a thorough review of THE FACTS with the application of THE LAW and come up with a GAME PLAN that incorporates strategies that can best help that client.
A good attorney can't do that for free without going broke. A good consultation takes about an hour, plus (in our case) we obtain account transcripts from IRS in advance of the meeting so we know exactly where we are.
Isn't that what you need? A GAME PLAN?
Don't mess around with free consultations by someone trying to sell you something. In about 70% of my Game Plan meetings, that's all the client needs. Either they can do it themselves thereafter (and save money), or maybe the IRS is "right", or the best answer is "do nothing" (maybe because the statute of limitations will expire soon).
If you want to meet with an extremely experienced tax and bankruptcy attorney and pay a reasonable fee for the time, expertise and education, give us a call and get your GAME PLAN today.
By the way, my car's license tag reads BEAT IRS.
I hope you'll contact our firm soon.

Battling the IRS - When you need an expert in your corner
As a fellow tax practitioner, I recognize taxpayers need specialized assistance when dealing with the IRS. I recently had such a case, and we brought Larry and his team of IRS experts in to further assist the taxpayers. They immediately began the representation process and kept everyone in the loop a...

What a blessing working with April Serrano
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...

Outstanding legal advice and a highly ethical Lawyer!
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 garnishm...

Larry Heinkel resolved all my problems
I was lost, afraid, and did not know where to turn. My accountant referred me to somebody that referred me to somebody that referred me to Larry. Upon our first consultation Larry didn't fill the air with bravado and ego but he calmed me down so that even if he had not helped me further he gave me en...

"I endorse this lawyer."
"Larry Heinkel is one of the best tax attorneys in the US. And, if you have any issues about taxes and bankruptcy, then Larry is the one person you need to contact in order to answer and resolve any of these complex issues."
"Larry is one of the finest Attorneys I know. I recommend any client that has tax or financial issues to Larry. When fellow attorneys call me to see if I know anyone in Larry's fields. he is the only recommendation I give."
"I regret the endorsement areas don't allow additional topics because the canned category lacks a "Tax" subcategory. Tax issues are traps for the practitioner concentrating in other areas. Larry's expertise in Taxation in general and its interaction with bankruptcy law specifically, coupled with his history of extensive contribution to the debtor bar and a kind demeanor towards fellow attorneys makes him an invaluable resource. I'm proud to have him as part of the debtor bar and would not hesitate to refer clients Larry's way."
