Howard Samuel Levy

It all started with a letter. I panicked and called one of those 1-800 number places that advertise incessantly. I thought because this one happened to be in the city I lived in that I would get good service and I would be able to show up to an office and talk to someone who can help me with my probl...em. I paid them a partial payment and quite a handsome amount. Every time I called to check on my progress and pay my balance it seemed that I was connected to a call center. It’s funny that even though part of the purpose of my call was to pay them that they kept pushing a hard sell. Something didn’t seem right. I asked to speak to an actual attorney, it seemed like they put another telemarketer on the line to make me think I was speaking to a lawyer. NEVER EVER call those 1-800 numbers promising to solve your tax problems - they are a scam. I needed real representation so I started doing some research until I found a very well written article addressing my situation. Howard wrote it. So I called Howard. Within minutes I was talking to an actual attorney. My situation was complicated and Howard patiently listened while putting me at ease. He took my worst fears out of the equation very quickly. Then he began to formulate a general outline of what needed to be done. However you will never have to deal with the IRS ever again, he handles every communication and contact with them. You can sleep soundly knowing that. Since we are talking about dealing with government the process does take a while but when we finally got into the details Howard amazed me with discussions of strategy and the risks, benefits and probabilities of the different approaches. Reasonably, he never promises any specific result, as he cannot - there are too many variables. He always had a plan for all the potential outcomes. Clearly he is experienced and I later found that he has over 25 years of experience both inside and outside the IRS which shows. He has an insider’s perspective which is invaluable in doing the things that actually matter in getting your case through he gears of slow bureaucracy. Trying to solve your problems yourself would be a fool’s errand considering what I learned about the process from Howard. The consequences of making a mistake could be dire. In the end process was mostly painless apart from a few days of some deep dives into your accounts, and some basic accounting lessons from Howard. The result? Remember those ads with the 1-800 numbers with those too good to be true promises? What they promise is what Howard actually delivered for me.

My husband and I were drowning in debt because of past taxes owed due to lack of work and having to use our 401k. Once we contacted Mr. Levy, the weight started to subside. His compassionate nature and knowledge of the situation provided us with hope, an eventual resolution to our plight, and new b...eginnings.

After getting into a bad tax lien situation, we were panicked. After meeting with Howard, we saw that there could be light at the end of the tunnel. He explained the steps and how the IRS would view our situation. While the news wasn't fun, it also wasn't as scary as the commercials suggest. Ultimate...ly, if we followed Howard's plan and took the steps he suggested, we could work our way out of it. He was right every step of the way. Beyond his professional expertise, Howard was also caring and compassionate. He helped alleviate the embarrassment we felt for getting into the predicament in the first place. I highly recommend Howard Levy!
