Very Helpful!

Paul gave me some great advice and answered every question I had. He is very professional and knowledgeable yet personable at the same time. I highly recommend Paul!!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Paul is the real deal!

Paul helped me with a burdensome tax issue I was dealing with for several years with no relief in sight. Out of desperation, I contacted several tax relief companies and attorneys. None of them could provide me with clear answers and their prices were astronomical. I then found Paul and he was able t...o not only answer all of my questions and explain how the IRS typically handles cases such as mine, but he was able to guarantee his services. I was sold. He was able to resolve my issue for far, far less than I ever imagined. I am now debt free and I have Paul to thank for that. I highly recommend Paul!!

Guaranteed Tax Settlement

I called a bunch of tax attorneys to help me with my tax debt. Everyone wanted thousands of dollars but no one could guarantee what would happen. Paul Tarnavsky was the ONLY tax attorney that actually guaranteed my settlement offer with the IRS. My offer was finally accepted last week. Thanks to Paul... the IRS settled for $800 on a $32,000 debt. I highly recommend Paul to anyone with tax issues.

Very Helpful, Knowledgeable and Reasonably Priced

I received a letter from the IRS that I really didn't understand. A coworker of mine referred me to Paul. He was really helpful and answered all my questions. He was very reasonably priced and he put me on a payment plan that I could afford, My issue with the IRS has been resolved and I plan to use t...he Tarnavsky Tax Firm for my tax prep needs every year.

Thank You! Thank You!

Our tax nightmare had been going on for the past 6 years. We previously used two other tax attorneys who could not seem to help us. When we came to Paul, he began working on our case immediately and was always available to take our calls. After many months of his hard work, our offer in compromise wa...s finally accepted yesterday and we couldn’t be happier! Mr. Tarnavsky was exactly the type of tax attorney we needed. He was always very fair and honest with us. I would recommend Paul Tarnavsky to anyone having a tax problem.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
