I RECOMMEND THE LAW FIRM OF SHELDON LAZAROW!

I contacted the law offices of Sheldon Lazarow regarding an IRS assessment, and discussed my situation with Mr. Lazarow's assistant, Lori, who recommended I should contact the recorder’s office where the assessment had been filed, and request a copy of the assessment document be faxed to the off...ices of Sheldon Lazarow. Upon a review of the faxed document, it was discovered the assessment had expired, and I was told what would be required to remove the assessment from future credit reports. The professional and caring response was appreciated by me. I agree with the rating of this law firm.

ENDORSED WITHOUT RESERVATION

When I met with Mr. Lazarow, I was lost in a morass of uncertainty regarding my federal income tax returns and the penalties assessed by the IRS. I felt certain that the IRS was in the wrong, but I didn't know how to get the situation rectified. Within a few minutes, Mr. Lazarow reviewed the docume...nts I had submitted to the IRS and the communications I had received from them and he clearly explained what had happened and how I should go about rectifying it. On a personal level, I found Mr. Lazarow personable, empathetic, and understanding. I particularly appreciated the fact that during my appointment, I received his undivided attention without interruptions from phone calls or other distractions. On a professional level, it was clear to me that he is a master of this area of his practice. My experience with attorneys is not very extensive, but I place him at the very top of the group with whom I have dealt in the past. When I discovered Mr. Lazarow on avvo.com, his rating was "superb" and I certainly agree with that rating. A final note worth mentioning is that his assistant was very helpful to me, as well as charming and lovely.
