Absolutely The Best

Mr. Lazaro and his assistant Lori Gray are the best. When I first consulted with them I was nervous and scared, they are both kind and compassionate and put me at ease. Mr. Lazarow resolved an over $100,000 tax debt for me. I never had to interact with the IRS. I now have to pay the IRS only a little... over $2000. His fees are reasonable, fair and manageable. I would highly recommend this team to anyone having any tax issues!

Honest and upfront

We used S. Lazarow for some IRS debt. The whole process is a lengthy one but we were kept in the loop the entire time. Lori his go to person was very easy to work with and made the process easier. IRS debt is a stressfull situation and they were top notch at handling it and keeping us calm while goin...g through it. If we ever need any services again, this will be the firm we use. They also helped us with a CPA recommendation that has worked out very well also.

Good Tax Experience

We contacted Mr. Lazarow because he had a high rating for dealing with taxes. We had years of tax issues that needed to be dealt with and we got burned from an out of state company for $4,000. So we needed someone local that we could have Great confidence in. We were in debt for at least $175,000.... We had a more dificult case than most tax situations for debt to the IRS. Though it took longer than I wanted it to, I'm just glad were finishing it up now. He's good at what he does and his Paralegal Lori is super at what she does and knows her stuff and she answers your questions right away. I would highly recomend Mr. Lazarow when you need to deal with any tax problems.

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!
