Extremely HELPFUL

My experience with Mr. Whittenburg was great. He was both very professional and knowledgeable about a very wide range of topics. I highly recommend him to anyone in search of a tax attorney.

Thanks a Million!

Dear Mr. Whittenburg: I wish to thank you for your support and assistance throughout my recent legal case. Due to your thorough, detail oriented research of my case before presenting it to the case worker, I was anticipating a favorable resolution, and that is exactly what I received! Your pro...fessionalism, knowledge of the law, case strategic planning, and results exceeded my expectations. You were courteous, precise in your correspondence, and very respectful of my time. You earned my trust and respect. Thanks a million!

Tax cases settled with IRS

We have been audited several times over the past 26 years, but this time was the fourth. I was late filing a response back to the IRS, and the accounting firm we use strongly suggested this time we get a tax attorney to handle the issues with our returns with the IRS. They referred us to Dustin S. W...hittenburg, who had recently broken off from a larger law firm, to start his own practice. Dustin worked late into the night after our first meeting in order to file our appeal as the deadline was about to expire. We are happy to recomend Dustin Whittenburg to those needing tax represnetation with the IRS. Over the past year, proir to our having to go to tax court, Dustin reviewed, answered, and resolved all issues with the IRS for two tax return years under review. The first year, the IRS said we owed over 20K more, but after detailed review, our return was accepted as filed. As for the second year under review, not only did we not owe any additional tax's, but will be recieving a modest refund.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
