Posted by Pete | December 11, 2012

John Ellsworth has been a very informative tax lawyer and has helped me tremendously handling the stress of the IRS.

I have been dealing with the IRS for several years now. It started out as a very stressfull experience. All of their threatening letters and scare tactics. I didn't know where to turn and during my search I found John Ellsworth online. I live in Utah and he is in Wisconsin but that has not made a dif...ference in his abilitiy to help me. He always returns my calls or emails and calms me down when I get too stressed by the scary IRS. I got behind on my taxes and John has worked out a strategy to get this monkey off my back. I feel like he is not only my attorney but also my friend. I feel like he really cares about me. That is very unique I think in this arena. I have slowed our progress towards a final resolution because I had to file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in the middle of our negotiating with the IRS. John has been very patient and understanding. We are on the road now to a final resolution.
