IRS business taxes

Very pleased with expertise and service we received. Sheldon walked us through the process and explained each step and what to expect. We were told that it could take 6 months to a year to see any kind of resolution from the IRS. There was a resolution in two months and I truly believe that quick ...resolution was due to Sheldon's knowledge of the system, the law and the people with whom he worked with. He knew who to contact to get our case to the right people in the IRS for review. Thank you!

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.
