This is where you turn

Alan helped me with a long standing tax issue while working for a separate firm. I was so pleased with the results of his work to resolve the issue that when I needed additional help with a separate issue I followed him over to his new firm and again I couldn't be happier with the results

Hire An Excellent Attorney

Having tax obligations and liens can be extremely stressful and emotionally exhausting. Alan was understanding and very supportive. He answered all of my many questions and was very responsive and knowledgeable. It took more time than anyone would like, but in the end he reduced my moderate 6 figu...re bill to just $l5K. Don’t waste your money on an Enrolled Agent first like I did. Hire an excellent attorney – Alan Shamoun.

I have my life back.

As a small business owner, I had the misfortune of having to deal with the State of Michigan's Unemployment Insurance Administration over a ridiculous issue caused entirely by their incompetence. I went went through hell and back for more than a few years with UIA and thanks to the great work of Mr.... Ayar and Mr. Shamoun, I can finally put that dark chapter of my business life to bed. The best tax law firm for regular folks, hands down.

Saved my marriage, literally!

Before meeting with Alan at AYAR Law regarding back taxes owed by my husband, our accountant told us the only way to avoid the IRS taking his entire income and a large portion of mine was to get a divorce. Even though I was not responsible for the back taxes, they take "all household income" whe...n determining the amount someone is able to pay. I make significantly more than my husband, so his payment was almost twice what he actually makes. With 2 small children to support there was no way we could survive, so we had serious conversations about getting a divorce. Thankfully I decided I wasn’t letting the IRS destroy my marriage, so I started looking for the "best tax attorney” around. That is when I was referred to Alan, he not only was able to get the monthly payment down $1500/month, he also helped remove the tax liens. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a great reputation with IRS Revenue Officers. Alan was the calm in the middle of the storm. Highly recommend!

The Best Decision I EVER made!

Due to a number of personal issues I found myself starting down the barrel of over $40,000 in tax debt and penalties. Alan Shamoum and the team at Ayer Law helped me settle my debt for PENNIES on the dollar. I am now able to move on with my life without this on my shoulders. If you are facing tax ...issues, call them TODAY! It will be the best investment you ever made.
