First Rate Counsel

I had a fairly complex tax issue dealing with expenses and the IRS. Dave Hopkins expertly provided guidance on the issues through his Tax Help Law system online and then through one-to-one consulting. Through Dave's guidance, I was able to resolve the matter quickly and efficiently with the IRS--some...thing that I could not have done on my own without a great deal of stress and frustration. Dave is not only a great tax advisor and legal mind, he is an amazing person with great insight and character--he makes the process not only stress-free but remarkably enjoyable--if that sounds possible! If you have a similar issue, I recommend Dave Hopkins wholeheartedly.

Spectacular!

Dave helped me with an IRS situation that had me stymied. He worked wirh my other attorney to resolve my issue in court. I can not recommend Dave enough to anyone who's losing sleep over their IRS tax situation.

Awesome Experience

The help we received from TaxHelpLaw saved us over $15,000. We had another company do our taxes, they did not have a good understanding of the tax code and laws and they messed up our taxes royally! Mr. Hopkins knows the complicated tax laws very well. He filed amended returns and cleared-up our taxe...s quickly. We now use Mr. Hopkins for our tax preparations every year; he is an outstanding resource!

Excellent Lawyer!

I was so scared of the IRS but I knew I had to face my problem. Mr. Hopkins made me feel at ease. He was respectful, always returned my phone calls and took care of my problem for a very reasonable price. I would very much recommend him to anyone for any kind of IRS problem!

Tax issue

We had a major tax issue, going back for many years and Mr. Hopkins helped navigate us through this complex issue and helped us to resolve it. He helped us with calls to the IRS, with understanding the confusing paperwork from them and how to respond. Prior to contacting Mr. Hopkins we called some ...of those television commercial companies and found them to be not helpful and difficult to communicate with. Mr. Hopkins completes the promises these television ads makers make. Theirs are empty promises, while his are complete and thorough. Thank goodness we were referred to Mr. Hopkins and from the first conversation to the last, he explained the process so that I understood the various steps we needed to take and walked us through each step. From the first conversation, I was convinced that he cared about us as customers and as people. I must also ad that communication is so important in these situations and Mr. Hopkins is very, very good at this. He keeps in touch with his clients regularly, and when you are dealing with tax issues you want someone who will keep in touch with you. I am happy to report that our very complicated tax issue is now resolved, with no more threatening letters or calls. Like so many people, we were not trying to avoid our obligations or get away with anything. We found ourselves in a difficult financial situation and fell behind. We needed the assistance of an expert to help us and to our great pleasure met Mr. Hopkins. I recommend Mr. Hopkins to anyone who is in need of simple to very complex tax issues. I now consider him a friend and someone who I know will help me with my taxes for years to come. Thanks to him I no longer have any major tax issues. More importantly I have such a sense of comfort knowing that I now know someone who I trust, who is available to help me at a moment's notice. I know who will do the same for you.
