IRS Issues

After owing over 100k in taxes from a bad business partner I tried for years to deal with the IRS. After my frustration met a boiling point I hired Sheldon and Lori. They made the whole process less stressful and ultimately got the IRS to deem me uncollectable. I am proud to say all the tax liens are... gone as well. Highly recommend them!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WITHOUT HESITATION!!!

Sheldon and Lori both worked with me to eliminate IRS taxes. My situation was very complicated and the results after working with this firm was even better than I had expected. I'm very pleased with the outcome and very happy to have worked with both Sheldon and Lori who made the whole process much l...ess stressful. Both are very personable and I don't hesitate at all to recommend them. You will be pleased that you have them on your side.

Took the stress away

I was very stressed when I first went to see Sheldon, by the end of the first meeting I felt that there was hope. He assured me that he would handle everything and he did. Any contact with the IRS went thru him and his staff. His legal assistant Lori was extremely helpful. Finally, we did an offer i...n compromise that was accepted. If you have IRS problems he is the one to hire.

BEST TAX ATTORNEY EVER!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about the Lazarow Law Firm. Mr. Lazarow and his Administrative Assistant Lori Gray have helped me and my wife through numerous problems with the IRS over the past five years. Mr. Lazarow and Lori have treated us with dignity and respect through this time. I am 75 year...s old and am in poor health, and my wife is 73. We are both retired and on fixed incomes. To begin with, Mr. Lazarow arranged monthly payments with the IRS which we had to terminate, because I could no longer work due to my health. The IRS then threatened to take 15% of each of our Social Security monthly benefits. Mr. Lazarow and Lori were able to work with the IRS to have us declared uncollectable. At this time we remain uncollectable. Mr. Lazarow's fees are very reasonable. We consider ourselves fortunate to have discovered Lazarow Law, and recommend this law firm to anyone who needs help with IRS problems.

Wiped out IRS debt.

Excellent lawyer. He was very confident and used his experience and expertise to remove an IRS tax bill with an offer of compromise. His assistant Lori was very nice and good too.
