Very Appreciative

I called Patricia and to my surprise she answered the phone herself. Again to my surprise she started to ask me questions to learn my situation. In the past, every lawyer wanted a fee before even hearing my story. Patricia asked me questions and based on my answers, she was able to direct me to th...e write person for my situation. She probably saved me hundreds by just being kind and thoughtful. THANK YOU PATRICIA!

Innocent Spouse Tax Relief Granted!

In 2009 I began getting letters from IRS that I owed 65,000 in back taxes and penalties for 2001, 2002 and 2005. I had just gotten a divorce and had been told by my ex-husband (a professional accountant) that all of our taxes were paid. IRS kept my tax refund from that year. I wrote letters on my own... to file an Innocent Spouse claim and 18 months later IRS was still demanding payment. I hired Ms. Beary in the summer of 2010. She worked tirelessly on my appeal, writing letters and researching case law, until she found a case that mirrored mine closely enough that her argument prevailed. After two years of her efforts, I just received notice from IRS last month that I have been relieved of the tax debt and all penalties and interest. I cannot thank Patricia enough for her tireless research on my behalf and wholeheartedly recommend her for any tax problem that requires expertise and dedication. She is the right lawyer for the job!

Great Job with IRS Audit

We had a federal tax audit and bill for + $600,000. Patricia Beary worked on our case diligently and for several years and we finally ended up settling for $1000. She was very responsive to our questions and extremely knowledgeable about IRS procedures. I would definitely retain her servces again and... do recommend her to others who need an attorney for tax purposes.

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.
