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!

Excellent Tax Lawyer - Fair Pricing

The State of Michigan garnished my wages and I started receiving notices from the IRS. Contacted Tax Attorney Chad Silver. We met face to face at 1-800-LAW-FIRM office in Southfield the next day. Wow, from the first instant I felt like I was being treated with dignity, respect, and felt at home in... the office. They have a receptionist whose title is Director First Impressions. That is exactly a fitting name for her because my first impressions were very good. There are many Tax Attorneys there but I did meet with Attorney Silver. Greeted me with a handshake and a smile and told me everything was going to be ok and that I would not have to speak to any people from Michigan or the IRS. He explained the process to me and made sure I understood exactly what was happening and what to expect. I did not have a lot of money so the payment plan he put together was very helpful. I highly recommend Tax Attorney Chad Silver for your tax problem.

Won my Innocent Spouse Relief Case

I had a very complicated problem. My husband (now ex husband – thank god) put tax returns in front of me that I signed in the parking lot after work. I did not know what was on those returns. I knew there was a big problem when the IRS notices came and threw me off guard and I could not understand... them at all. I could not figure out how I owed anything. Was referred to Mr. Silver by a friend. I met with Mr. Silver who told me I would probably qualify for innocent spouse relief. I trusted that he knew a lot more than I did. I did think I was innocent because I thought it was weird how my ex had me sign those returns. After he filed for innocent spouse relief the threatening IRS letters stopped. Everytime I called his office someone was able to give me an update on my case so it seems like the office is very organized. The innocent spouse relief was given to me so Mr. Silver won!
