The Best

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.

SIMPLY THE BEST

As an attorney with an IRS problem, selecting the right professional to help me was of paramount importance. It’s not an overstatement to say that my livelihood depended on a successful outcome. Howard, with his wealth of knowledge and experience, came to my immediate rescue. Although I live halfway ...across the country, Howard’s calm and reassuring manner made me feel he was around the corner. All documents needed for the successful resolution of this matter were exchanged through fax or email, and Howard promptly returned all calls and emails. I wholeheartedly, enthusiastically and without reservation recommend Howard to anyone having to deal with the IRS. I have never submitted a review for anyone or anything, however, Howard’s exemplary lawyering compelled me to share my experience. In every respect, he is a lawyer’s lawyer.

Recommendation

My wife and I have no words that can fully express our appreciation with the help and expertise Mr. Levy has provided us in dealing with the IRS. His knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile was evident when the IRS tried to garnish my wages, I called Mr. Levy and even being laid up with back s...urgery he went to work on our behalf and was successful in stopping the action…That is a true professional, I highly recommend his service to anyone who has a need of a tax attorney he is the best in our opinion and I have worked with several over the years….Thank you Mr. Levy!

Great work and didn't rip me off!

I had a tax issue with the IRS ongoing for years. I decided to get professional help. Howard did not overcharge me like other lawyers I went to see. And, he solved my issue in 2 phone calls. I can sleep better at night now. He's professional and returns emails and phone calls very promptly. He's als...o very knowledgeable. I cant say enough good about this guy and highly recommend him.

Tax Attorney

I went through a very long and excruciating legal experience that resulted in me filing a bankruptcy yet still owing money to the IRS. I called Howard near the end of all this and he helped me tremendously to navigate through the latter stages. I was once the CEO of a medium sized multi state busin...ess and have worked with many attorneys. Howard is an excellent attorney and I greatly appreciate the work he did for me.
