Did Nothing

Hired Bob to negotiate with the IRS to settle my tax debt. I told him my income would not be going down, but he collected $10K from me and for 3 years said he could do nothing as I was in bankruptcy. After that he said I made too much for an OIC, and that we would be best to wait until I retired (wh...ich I told him was not going to happen any time in the foreseeable future). He said to wait until I got a threatening letter from the IRS and not to worry about the interest and penalties as the more I owed the easier it would be for him to negotiate a reduction. Three years later, when I still hadn't gotten the threat - he said I had used up my $10k and he couldn't do anything more for me unless I wanted to pay $400/hour for further consultation. Left Bob and when I finally heard from the IRS the fees I accumulated by his not settling when he said he couldn't negotiate an offer have now doubled what I owe - and I'm in the same position I was before I paid him.

Replied last December 10, 2018

For 2004 and 2005, you owed IRS over $122,000 for tax years 2004 and 2005. On October 20, 2017, you engaged us to file an Offer In Compromise for you on grounds you could not pay what you owed IRS. You Offered $500 to settle your tax liability. You filled out and signed a financial statement under oath supporting your contention that you could not pay more than $500. On November 14, 2017, we promptly filed your Offer based on your statement that you could not pay. You claimed a refund in 2016 but you told us that this was as a consequence of a one-time child care credit which you never paid IRS in the first place but which you applied for on your 2016 tax return. In fact, your income increased substantially during 2017 and 2018 which you did not share with us or IRS. We argued and convinced IRS to ignore the 2016 child care refund as it was a one-time event. Your contention that we ever told you or anyone else “not to worry about penalties and interest” is manifestly untrue. However, you never told us your income increased substantially (like more than two times and almost 3 times) during 2017 and 2018 to the point where IRS determined you could pay more than the $500 you offered. We have compromised over 302 cases and saved taxpayers over $53,000,000. Those cases qualified for Offer acceptance on the grounds of doubt as to collectability. You failed to let us know that your income increased so substantially in 2017 and 2018, that you could pay more than the $500 you offered which resulted in IRS ultimately rejecting your Offer after we appealed your case to the highest IRS level. I am sorry that you, like everybody, who can pay, must pay what they can. We are attorneys and not guarantors of results, and your failure to be candid with us about your increased ability to pay did not help you. We have always communicated with you promptly and courteously and will continue to do so. We always take suggestions and criticisms most seriously and we respond promptly.

IRS Settlement

Tax Law Center Dear Mr. Grossman Thank you for taking on my very complex IRS case for the last three years. I remember when I first met you, you were a bit astounded how I was able to accumulate such debt and get myself into a situation where I owed the IRS over one million dollars. In spite of th...e length and complexity of my case, you stayed with me and gave your very best consideration to my case. From time to time I would lose hope and question myself if I would ever get out of this mess. You always reassured me to be patient, and stay the course, you were extremely professional and sensitive to all my concerns. You provided me assurance that my problems with the IRS could be solved. You were right on every issue and you solved my case. I want to thank you for negotiating the Offer in Compromise agreement with the IRS and settling my debt for 5% of what was originally owed, you saved me $950,000. I could not have managed the IRS without you by my side, you removed a tremendous burden from my life and allowed me to move on. You have my deepest gratitude for that!! I would highly recommend contacting Mr. Grossman if you have issues with the IRS.

The Best in Las Veagss

Robert: It is with great pleasure that I write this to you today. You, sir, have been a “superman” in my eyes. Having owed the Federal Government over $100,000 in taxes, it was the worst situation in my life; frightening, overwhelming and just plain hopeless … then I met you! I certainly made the ...right choice in hiring you as my attorney. Thank you Jesus!! I felt I had no way out, was forever indebted to the IRS with no future. But, you changed all that for me. With your tenacity, knowledge, encouragement, advice and mentoring, we persevered. You successfully reduced my taxes from over $100,000 to a settlement in full for less that 7%. I cannot ever express in words the gratitude and appreciation I have for your hard work in negotiating a extraordinary settlement. I can now look forward to the future without remorse or regret and I owe that to you Robert. You made me realize that making the hard decisions, making the right decisions is the best thing I could do for myself. Words aren’t enough but, Robert, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to continued successes, and with your advice and help every now and then; I can look to the future with hope and determination. Please feel free to use me as a reference, it’s the least I can do for you on an ongoing basis. Most respectfully, Stacey

Thank you!

I want to express my sincere appreciation to you for the outstanding work you did on my behalf in securing a most favorable resolution to my IRS tax issues. I am eternally grateful for your professionalism in handling this issue to completion. I also want to personally thank you for the kindness yo...u extended to me throughout the process. Thank you for always being there. It was a very difficult time for me the past 8 years with this heavy tax burden. Once I contacted you and received your support and assurance that you could negotiate a satisfactory settlement, I felt confident that it would happen. Through your diligent work and expertise, you successfully achieved that. Now, for the first time in 8 long years I am free of the IRS debt. Thank you so much for everything you did. I hold you in the highest esteem and unconditionally recommend your services to others.

Nightmare to a Dream Come True

I paid my taxes on time for over 35 years. I was going through a brutal divorce. My lawyers and wife took all my money and there was nothing left for Uncle Sam. Mr. Grossman saved the day. He took away the threats of the IRS and he made my life so much easier.At the end I settled 15 cents on the doll...ar. He is the best....
