Attourney - For the People

Gary Tidwell was a beacon of hope in my time of need. When life happens, and you find yourself between a rock and a hard place, One may seek legal guidance. When I received a Tax Lien against my name, Gary's hand written, personalized letter stood out amongst the pink/blue/yellow presorted mail slips.... When consulted, Gary takes the time to understand the circumstances specific to your case and accurately informs you from the start what he will be able to achieve for You. He made clear outlines of payment with no hidden fees. He was conscious of my financial position and showed me humanist consideration and goodwill. Gary proved to be a strong asset and confidently handled my case, fulfilling his charge with a tactful, timely finesse. Gary saved me tens of thousands of dollars and unquestionably altered the course of my life, implicative from the time/money/heartache saved. Its my intention that this review show just a modicum of the gratitude and appreciation I have toward this man. If you've made it this far I encourage, no, implore you to consult with Gary Tidwell. You have found Your Attourney.

Scared of IRS

After falling more than a few years behind in my taxes I started receiving lots of threatening mail from the IRS. I finally got enough guts to call them and set up a payment plan that was way out of my comfort zone to pay. After doing that a year I learned they were putting a lien on my credit report... because I simply could not catch up. I felt helpless and it honestly would keep me up at night. My mailbox was full of iRS relief letters, so many that I avoided the mail man because I was so embarrassed by the amount of agencies out there that to me look like a scam. After throwing most of them away I came across a letter on real stationary from Gary Tidwel. I opened it up right away and something told me to give this man a call. By this point I wasn’t even scared and really just wanted to know if he could help me or if I just needed to go into hiding! Mr. Tidwell and I spoke and set up a time to meet in person and from the get go he was very honest about his experience and he told me that he has success in winning offers in compromise but that it would take a little time and that he would need me to follow his instruction and guidance on getting my affairs in order. I did exactly what he told me to do which was, pay my new quarterly taxes on time and do not acquire any new debt. It was about a year later after meeting him that we were ready to submit my offer in compromise and WE WON!!!!!!!!!! I am forever grateful to Mr. Tidwel and Sydney his daughter, I had lots of questions and called them a lot and they were always so professional and happy to help me. I am forever grateful to them and do yourself a favor and call him to help you! Don’t wait!

Anthony Lewis - President - Prestige Tank & Pump Services, Inc.

Gary was introduced to our company through my CPA who had informed me of his exceptional work ethics and his experience & knowledge dealing with the IRS. Upon meeting Gary at our initial consultation, he explained to me what to expect through out the duration of the IRS audit. I immediately knew th...at our company had the right representation. The audit took about a year. During this time Gary would stop by the office to coach us for paperwork requested by the IRS and deliver and meet w/ the auditor. He coached my office staff and monitored all activities to ensure that the production of documents requested by the IRS was precise and directly relative to each of the auditors request. Gary was this teams "coach" through the whole process. I can tell you that I have never been through an IRS audit and I am certain that the results would have been less than favorable. We have just completed our audit and i actually walked out of the IRS offices SMILING!. I would highly recommend consulting with Gary should you be challenged with an IRS audit.

Debt Relief

I would highly recommend Gary Tidwell. He is very professional and did a great job communicating with me, keeping me informed and promptly returning phone calls/text messages in a timely manner. My tax issue was resolved favorably. Thank You Gary!!
