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...s we moved through the IRS audit experience. Job well done and gladly work with Larry on future IRS matters.

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... 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.

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...ent, 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.

He's the best in the biz.

I've worked with Larry twice in the last two years have nothing but the best to say about him and his staff. I had a ton of issues from prior years and he helped me through all of them. Always shot me straight and handled my case with total professionalism. Saved me a ton of money and relieved some ...major stress. I would recommend him to anybody needing help with the IRS.

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...ough that I didn't feel alone anymore, and I wasn't near as afraid. Luckily I live in the same general vicinity as Larry and was able to meet with him face to face and we even talked about fishing and other outdoor activities. I don't know about you but there are many professional people I have to deal with both on a personal basis and in the practice of my profession. Some of them are impossible to get to know and deal with, some of them are just ok, and others of them simply make you feel at ease. Larry is the later. I was at a low point in my confidence and trust of the world and definitely was angry and resentful at the governments tactics to bully me. Larry took the ball and I never again had to deal directly with IRS agents and the threats and scare tactics they sometimes employ. I had been trying to appease the IRS and had even made an offer and compromise prior to Larry's intervention that they flat out rejected. They said NO, pay us the entire amount NOW or be damned. I was not under suspicion nor been accused of a crime other than being irresponsible and lackadaisical about my obligation, but as time passed and the debt grew I was paralyzed. Larry Changed all that and today I am a free man, much more responsible and have not put myself in that position again. As a matter of fact I received a huge refund last year. What a miracle and a change in my life that I attribute to Larry's assistance. Thank you, Larry.
