A Good Man

I am writing a review here for Mr. Alvin B. Sherron, Atty. I have know Alvin Sherron for over 30 + years, and have nothing but positive things to say. Alvin was recommended to me by my mother Gladys H. King, whom is a good friend of Alvin. She informed me that he is not just one, but the best atto...rney that practices law with do diligence for clients best interests at hand. Alvin has been a part of my family circle for years as a friend, and considered family member who will always be there for you. Alvin has a proven set of skills that encompass a variety of both hard and soft skills specific to his profession, He continues with thorough communications, knowledge of law practices, protocols and regulations, interpersonal skills and the ability to think critically and solve problems. I recommend Alvin for any legal matters you'd encounter in life to reach out to LA's finest Attorney - Alvin B. Sherron. Mr. James F. King III 818-233-9233 [email protected]

Waste of $500

I will not be recommending Mr. Sherron. While he was successful in getting my audit reconsidered, this effort was ultimately useless. His poor communication resulted in the case running out of time. This poor communication consisted of not discussing with me what would be required of me once the audi...t was reconsidered during my consultation or asking me for anything other then if I had my filing records for a tax year that was nearly six years earlier. He seemed distinctly more interested in placing blame on me for not meeting deadlines I was unaware of and not having documents available I didn't know I needed. I hired a lawyer to handle the situation and ensure that all possible documentation was collected since I am not a tax lawyer and I do not know what any of the laws and procedures are or what terms mean. He cannot explain in laymen's terms what a problem is and all our conversations seemed to leave me more confused than serviced. He will likely place blame on me for missing deadlines, or not following guidelines and laws that I was unaware of (again not a tax lawyer). But, from a client service perspective, I feel that Mr. Sherron is the equivalent of a court-appointed lawyer. Which would be fine, if I wasn't paying for his time, therefore, I will be taking any future business elsewhere. +2 stars for getting the audit reconsidered. -3 stars for client service and not being anything more than a $500 lesson to hire a lawyer that doesn't expect me to understand the law.

Getting my life back

With Mr. Sherrons' guidance, knowledge and expertise he filed an offer and compromise on my behalf with the IRS, the amount owed by myself was 1.1 million dollars. WIth Mr. Sherrons' assistance I filled out all the necessary forms which he submitted for me. He was in constant communication with both... the IRS and myself and relayed the information to me in a very timely matter, he handled many of their questions and resolved them prior to them even reaching me. By the grace of God and Mr Sherrons' knowledge, contacts and negotiating skills the IRS agreed to a final amount of approximately $11,000.00. I found Mr Sherron and his office staff to be very responsive, professional and knowledgeable which made the entire process more tolerable and efficient. I would like to add that I am very thankful to Mr. Sherron, through his help and patience I am now able to move forward in my life

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I highly recommend Mr. Sherron in all matters involving disputes with the Internal Revenue Service and issues before the U.S. Tax Court. I hired Mr. Sherron to assist me and my client in resolving a complicated 709 Gift Tax return case with a very substantial proposed tax liability. Mr. Sherron is a former general counsel with the IRS with years of legal experience and knowledge of tax law and in handling such disputes with the IRS. My client and I are very satisfied with both his professionalism and assistance offered."
