Great and responsive!

I cannot agree more with one of the reviewers that attorney Zagara is very responsive and helpful. I also tried to call IRS and find help on their web site to no avail. But attorney Zagara answered me here promptly and professionally. Highly recommend!

Excellant Job

Mr. Zagara was quick to respond and answered my question fully. After months of attempting to get an answer and even calling the IRS directly no one (including 2 tax professionals & a book keeper) could answer my question or point me in the right direction.

I hired Charlas Zagara for my IRS tax Audit. Charles is extremely hard to get ahold of and dropped the ball on my audit. I ended up hiring another company to represent me

Tax services

Charles previously worked at an office called Global Tax Services. After having multiple issues with the IRS he assured me he would be able to take care of my situation and paid him $3,000. Multiple months went by and I seemed to always get the ruin around about my situation. Anytime I sat with him he never had an update for me 1 year went by and after going to his office I realized he had completed left that location and the office was shut down. I never received a response in regards to getting a refund or my situation. I have tried reaching him multiple times and he refuses to acknowledge it. If you need further reviews feel free to Facebook Global Tax Services and you will be able to see how many people he left hanging.

Charles Zagara's response: You are lying. Yesterday was the first time you contacted me (by email) and I responded within an hour. I did not own Global Tax. I was employee, put out of a job virtually overnight. I told you I would be willing to handle your case but I have no information or documents because the company you hired closed their doors, overnight, and they have all your records. I did not own that company, your contract was with them and you paid them, not me. Telling people that I am Global Tax is wrong. I told you yesterday in my email to you, who the owners were. You were put on notice yesterday and again today. Stop lying and stop defaming me. I am also copying this response and I am emailing it to you.

I reached out to Mr. Zagara with a legal question and he was very responsive and helpful in helping me understand the legal issues I presented him with. I trust that he provides the same attention to clients who hire him for his services.
