IRS - Taxes Owed

My husband and I contacted the Lazarow Law Firm last year to request a consult about back taxes and collection efforts that were already in progress by the IRS. Lori Gray immediately called us back to discuss the facts and we had an appointment with Mr. Lazarow the same week. It was clear within th...e first five minutes of the meeting that Mr. Lazarow was an extremely efficient, skilled and practical attorney. In addition to having a high level skill set, Mr. Lazarow (and Ms. Gray) were compassionate, kind, non-judgmental and reassuring. We hired Mr. Lazarow on the spot. The law firm took over from that point and all communication with the IRS was done by their office. They kept us informed along the way and constantly reassured us that we could go back to our normal life. Mr. Lazarow resolved our issues within 3 months and got us a more favorable result than we could ever have imagined. Mr. Lazarow's experience, knowledge of the IRS rules and how the agency works is invaluable. The fees are so reasonable and worth every penny- plus some! Highly recommend the Lazarow Law Firm. Simply the best out there. Thank you!

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.

Lazarow Law- look no further for tax assistance

Mr. Lazarow is a very professional, knowledgeable, experienced attorney who excuted my offer in compromise with the IRS. His successful handling of my case saved me thousands of dollars, and he was always available to consult with me when I had questions or concerns. His office staff are extremely ...helpful and friendly and it has been a pleasure working with them. I would highly recommend Lazarow Law to anyone who is looking for legal tax help.

Mr Lazarow and Lori are excellent. I was so afraid. They made the entire process easy and not as stressful as I thought it would be. They both work very hard. The key is to do everything they say. They exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful to them. I feel like a cloud has been lifted. I owed clo...se to a $100,000 and I had my offer and compromise accepted. I am only paying $800.00..I will forever be grateful for there help . They are very professional and make you feel like you are there only client. Thank you both.
