I assist clients who have problems with the IRS. Many of my clients have not filed tax returns in years or they have the IRS knocking on their door wanting them to pay their IRS debt or file years of unfiled tax returns. I also handle audits for clients. If you are having sleepless nights because of the IRS, or are constantly looking over your shoulder, waiting for the IRS to show up at your door, you need to give me a call at (941-906-7585).

Law Office of Mary E. King, P.L. is the most professional, most efficient, most capable and competent, Law Office I've ever dealt with while doing complex nation wide or local as well as an international contracting deals, for over 35 years. I was so afraid that my case would be rejected, but Mary ...had respectfully taken my case, and handled it so gracefully with most care I've ever experienced in legal industry, with above any mark results, as her dedication for a quick successful results and best ever outcome is a true blessing in my life. With great grace and professionalism this extremely experienced Law Office (that did not waste any of my time not even one phone call until the complete job was done and all in my best interest), with Mary E. King's leadership, I was able to get my personal life and my business, on right track again. This office is more affordable than any of my past accountants or attorneys who were not able to even comprehend the level of requirements needed, Mary was skillfully and swiftly able to understand and to resolve and to eliminate the root causes, so even my credit score is now getting automatically better, based on hard work Mary had accomplished. I cannot thank enough to Mary and her staff on the great job done and for accepting my case and for bringing it to successful outcome! Thank you so much for working so hard on this difficult case, you are greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Aleksandra W.

Well worth the time and effort

Mary did it! It was a long and frustrating process... not on Mary's part but on the IRS process. She walked me through the entire process from start to finish, kept me up to date and made it happen. I am grateful to Mary and her staff and would recommend them highly.

They “ Wow’d me

Many local professionals in the accounting community suggested I contact Mrs. King’s office to receive help for a tax issue. I knew that my tax project would be complicated but Mrs. King and Staff helped me through it. Thank you.

Mary is the best at what she does!

Hiring the Law Office of Mary E. King is a great idea if you are confused about how to deal with tax issues. Mary immediately got on the ball bringing me up to date with my situation. I went on thinking I couldn't file because I owed the IRS money I didn’t have. I looked online and asked around, incl...uding the IRS, how I could deal with this and there were no definite answers. But now I know, Mary E. King did have the definite answers I needed. Feels good to have that weight off my shoulders with a true professional to navigate through a complicated system. In addition, Mary truly cares about you, your situation and works very hard to get the best result. So, thanks again Mary and to your excellent team of professionals at Law Office of Mary E. King!

Knowledgable, Strategic, and Client Focused

I hired Mary for assistance with an IRS tax issue. I was impressed with her detailed response, providing succinct advice that continued in a weekly email following my initial consultation even prior to my engaging her. Once I formalized her engagement, she crafted a strategy uniquely designed to addr...ess my circumstances. Rather than a standard approach, she suggested a solution that resulted in a much lower settlement cost. It required a bit more patience, but was worth it in the end. Because she took the time to fully understand my situation, she solved the problem with the best possible alternative for me. Thank you, Mary!
