Criminal Investigator Came to my Door!

An IRS Criminal Investigator came snooping around my house and began asking me a lot of alarming questions. The investigator had a badge and a gun! Basically he was not welcomed into my house. The Tax Attorneys at 1-800-LAW-FIRM calmed me down. The tax attorneys told me that an IRS criminal inves...tigator investigates tax crimes and helps prosecute tax crimes. I was very disturbed by the IRS coming to my house. I thought I might be able to talk myself out of the problem but the tax attorneys told me this was a bad idea. The Attorneys talked to the Investigator and after some negotiation the problem went away. That’s all I can really say about this but the Attorneys did a good job and I did not go to jail.

10 Years of Unfiled Tax Returns Owed $220,000 –Reduced to $18,000

I just never filed tax returns for years. That was the last thing on my mind but I knew something was wrong when my employer got a wage garnishment and it said I owed over $220,000. Thought I was having a heart attack from that one. The payroll people told me to find a tax attorney like asap. Fou...nd Attorney Chad Silver at 1-800-LAW-FIRM. The team had a phone consultation with me and told me exactly what they would do to help. They worked fast and it was an emergency situation for sure. They completed the tax returns and good thing because I threw away all my records. They were able to get the tax debt reduced by more than I could have hoped for. Also, in some years I was to get a refund that was to go against how much I owed. Wow what I mess. So it all got fixed and the IRS did not touch my wages. Worth every penny for the help!

Won IRS Audit

The IRS audited me for 2010, 2011, and 2012. The IRS sent me a bill for like $36,000. I took my case to 1-800-LAW-FIRM and Tax Attorney Chad Silver and his team reviewed the case and told me the IRS was totally wrong about how much I owed. I just was not organized and the Tax defense team got me o...rganized and told me what to say and not say when talking to the IRS. I had no idea what my rights were. They looked at all my paperwork and negotiated on my behalf. I wish I hired this team earlier but I did not know where to look.

Settled My IRS and State Tax Debt Once and for All

Tax Attorney Silver completed a Federal and State Investigation and financial review to understand what my options were. He contacted the State of Michigan and IRS to tell them I was being represented by a Tax Attorney. He walked me through the process and let me know my options. I was able to fil...e new tax returns because I never filed tax returns before. The IRS and State filed them for me and the balance seemed crazy large. Filing those new tax returns plus Mr. Silver negotiating on my behalf to eliminate the penalties lowered my tax bill down to something I could finally afford to pay off. Now I am caught up on my taxes and have a plan in place to not let this happen again. Thank you very much.

Highly Recommend - Lifted Wage Garnishment Quickly

I did not know how many years of tax returns I had not filed. Many threatening IRS letters were coming to my house. I waited so long that the IRS told my employer I was going to be garnished. Still I did not do anything. The IRS did not mess around and garnished my wages. My employer found Tax A...ttorney Chad Silver online and told me to call him. I did and spoke with Attorney Silver. He told me my options and that his firm could stop the IRS and negotiate the garnishment lift immediately. They completed an investigation and informed of my options. They did in fact lift the garnishment and I was very relieved!
