Howard Samuel Levy

I had a very scary, self induced IRS problem with bills and judgements close to $500k. I was absolutely petrified. My matter was extremely complicated and further exacerbated by IRS delays in processing, lost returns and an erroneous, highly complicated notice of deficiency judgement for over $200k ...alone. Scary, life altering stuff. I was an absolute wreck. I knew could not handle this problem alone but after doing extensive research - it seemed like there was a whole industry of tax attorneys and consultants that preyed on peoples fears and promised easy settlements with the IRS while taking large fees from distressed people like me. Then I found Howard's website and very well written and understandable blogs and I thought I had found a glimmer of hope. We set up a call, I explained my complicated problem and Howard agreed to take me on as a client and assured me that we would be able to get things settled with the IRS . I must say that right off the bat, I am sure I became Howard's most neurotic client of all time. I was an absolute paranoid wreck. My case was so complicated and had many many twists and turns. Howard has an intricate knowledge of tax law but also fully understands how the IRS thinks and works - even its computers.... His website says he is a "friend when the IRS comes calling." But he became more than that to me. He was a psychologist, friend and attorney. I was not only scared, I was quite embarrassed to have put myself and my family in this tax predicament. With each new fear or complication in my case - and there were many - Howard would take my fearful calls, talk me off a ledge, give great counsel and keep the case on course. I'm grateful to Howard and Griffin for getting my complicated case in front of the right people at the IRS, correcting what was wrong and negotiating an acceptable settlement for a third of what the IRS was originally coming after me for. He allowed me to move past this matter and be able to breath again. I am forever thankful. For any of you out there in need of a savior, beacon and advocate on serious IRS matters, Howard and Griffin Levy should be at the top of your list. Its also probably important to say that I live in Connecticut and work in California and New York. Howard is based in Cincinnati. So for handling IRS matters - no matter where you live or work, Howard can handle everything over the phone and by email. He has truly been a godsend to me and I am forever indebted.

Had an extremely large tax liability with the IRS. Able to set up an installment agreement and weathered the storm. The statute of limitations expired on June 2020. As Howard predicted, received documents from the IRS showing all tax obligations written off and a zero balance. I was very fortunate t...o discover Howard's firm. He kept me calm and grounded throughout this ordeal and it was an ordeal. Thank you Howard for removing the 800 lb. gorilla off my back.

When I hired Howard I finally felt relief. Howard was thorough, thoughtful, ethical and set reasonable expectations. He managed to negotiate a favorable payment plan (in the middle of a government shutdown) which allowed me to run out the clock. I am finally debt free after 16 years and I owe a lot o...f it to Howard Levy.

Despite the fact that I live in New York, I made the decision to hire Howard after doing quite a bit of research on his approach. What I liked about him mostly was, he didn’t promise miracles. He was very realistic about what my options were and what the likelihood of a favorable outcome would be. ... Howard was very accessible and communicative throughout the entire process, and when all was said and done my IRS debt ended up being settled for about 15 cents on the dollar. He didn’t promise me a miracle in the beginning, but he delivered one in the end. Your particular situation may achieve a different result, obviously. But you can rest assured that Howard will be very honest about what he can and cannot do to help you. As a result, Howard gets my absolute highest recommendation.

My husband passed away leaving me with a terrifying IRS debt. Widowed and broken hearted with two children, Howard was kind and understanding. He assured me that he would work to the best of his abilities to bring resolution to my case. I trusted him immediately and he went to work. Within a year my ...case was closed by the IRS and my late husband's IRS debt behind me. The burden that my husband had carried for years was gone.
