Don't leave your IRS trouble to anyone other than the BEST - Chad Silver, ESQ

I was so worried about the IRS notices I was receiving and thought that my bank account was going to be levied - UNTIL I talked to Chad. What a relief he provided and I no longer have to talk or deal with the IRS as Chad does all the talking me. He reduced my debt, penalties and interest - thank you ...Chad and 1-800-LAW-FIRM. I would recommend you to anyone dealing with these issues.

Won - IRS Hardship Granted

I owed about $25,000 to the IRS and they finally caught up to me. IRS got my attention when I opened a certified IRS letter which said I had about 30 days or they were going to levy my bank accounts and paycheck. I think the letters said Final Notice of Intent to Levy. Found Tax Attorney Chad Silv...er at 1-800-LAW-FIRM when I was searching online. Even though I was working I still qualified for a hardship because my expenses were very high. The IRS backed off thanks to hiring a very tough Tax Defense Attorney team led by Attorney Silver. I think you want to hire a team of Tax Attorneys if possible. Called to a few different places and found that these folks treated me with the most respect and seemed to know the most out of those other firms. I noticed that at least 3 attorneys were named to my case which was a very confident feeling. Hire them.

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.

Successful Offer in Compromise

Tax Attorney Silver was able to negotiate and offer in compromise of a $150,000 down to $20,000. It does seem like a lot but a lot more affordable than $150,000. I was happy with that offer. I had some bad experiences at other firms where they took my money and did nothing. I thought those were la...w firms but really those were just tax resolution companies or tax networks not law firms. Be really careful who you hire and make sure they are a law firm. The owner of the firm must be a lawyer like Mr. Silver or it cannot be a law firm. I learned the hard way. Hire a real law firm with tax lawyers. Hire this Tax Attorney Silver and you will be in good shape.
