Best advocate to have for my IRS disputes!

Like many in the construction business, 2007-2010 were very tough years to navigate. There was little left after those years and then the IRS contributed to the pain of that time by rejecting a 1031 exchange setup much earlier. Needless to say, the tax burden and the penalty and interest on the debt ...was all but insurmountable! I sought the counsel of David Coffin! David and his team were able to negotiate and complete a very manageable plan to alleviate the immediate dispute with the IRS and ultimately strike an agreement with the IRS for a small fraction of the declared debt. I would highly recommend David to anyone with similar needs as I once had! He is a true professional at his craft and has a very strong team to assist in support!

Miracle worker

I had a tax lien issue that I thought would be nearly impossible to get removed. However, David persevered and tried every avenue and I just got the wonderful news that the lien is being withdrawn. David kept in constant touch keeping me updated every week. I highly recommend him to anyone needing t...ax help or IRS help. He's wonderful!

Offer in Compromise

My husband and I had been going back and forth with the IRS since 2004. It was an exasperating experience. In 2014, we decided we needed help, from an expert, if we ever wanted to get out from under the thumb of the IRS. We had looked at different tax attorneys & they wanted hundreds of dollars upfro...nt before they would even look at our situation. When we found David Coffin, he graciously set up an appointment with us. He listened to our situation & then determined an affordable rate. He set realistic expectations with each step of the Offer in Compromise. After our first meeting, we were excited that we had a great chance to settle with the IRS. David is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He was encouraging & provided solutions for the few setbacks that we encountered. In 2016 we received great news…the IRS agreed to our Offer in Compromise! We would highly recommend David Coffin for any tax issue.

Complex IRS Issue

We hired Mr. Coffin and his team for a very complex and complicated IRS lawsuit. It was for the years 1980 and 1981 in Hawaii. The case was not settled until 2007. The IRS waited 5 years to notify me the case was finalized. We had to fire the attorney that represented us in the suit due to incompeten...t performance and lack of response to our calls. The judgment stated I was to pay off an agreed to amount. The IRS set up the payment schedule which also involved an x-wife sharing in the payoff. She contested and claimed to be an innocent spouse. She lost that claim. The problem began when the IRS voided my installment payback schedule and levied huge amounts of penalties ($$$$$) on the amount owed. This was in direct violation of the court ordered settlement. Mr. Coffin and his exemplary staff, which included Adam Coen, took our issue on and represented us in an appeal which resulted in the original agreement being reinstated and all penalties removed. We prevailed, thanks to their skill and knowledge of how the IRS works. Their practices are professional. They are very straightforward. The provided us with updates and helped to ease our anxiety and frustration. They responded to our phone calls. They sat down with us and listened to the strange twist this case had taken all these years. We had been trying to resolve the installment issue for a year when we hired this team in April 2015. It is resolved and we are grateful for their professional and aggressive results. Mr. Coffin and his team are interested in results. They know how to get them. We are so grateful to them for their time and results which resolved our case.

IRS tax refund received

My elderly mom unknowingly submitted a 2011 tax return that contained a large error. Shortly after that, she suffered a massive stroke and has been in a nursing home since. I researched how to get this error corrected but was unsuccessful. Finally, someone referred me to Attorney David Coffin. I ...found him to be very cordial, friendly, and encouraging. He and his staff member, Adam, have been extremely helpful. They kept me informed at every step of the process. With their persevering assistance, my 87 and 89 year-old parents received their refund of $57,000. Thank you, David!
