Isai Bismark Cortez

Bismark Tax, Inc. saved my company in 2015 from hundreds and thousands of tax dollars of a situation we had been in from 2010-2014. I had lost all hope and was recommended to speak to Isai Cortez from another friend who had also used their services. I trusted my friend, read the reviews and decided ...to go hire them as my life saving lawyer/attorney. I couldn't sleep at nights, and was thinking of my very bad situation I was in. I thought it was impossible to get out of it, well Isai Cortez of Bismark Tax made a miracle happen. He did more than I expected, it was like magic. I just couldn't believe the phone I received when it was all over and done with. To this day, I am grateful that we still have an honest, hard working, lawyer who is fully dedicated to the customer and we definitely got our money's worth. Thank you Isai Cortez and Colin Shanahan and the rest of the team. You guys did a great job and I cannot thank you enough!

I reached out to Isai Cortez back in 2013 after I had been fed up with receiving notices from the IRS that they were trying to collect on my past due debt. They placed a lien on my credit report and as you can imagine a lien from the federal government doesn’t make you an ideal candidate for any kind... of credit. I’ve seen many commercial for “Tax Attorney’s” who can help settle debt for pennies on the dollar. But let’s be honest, most of the time they sound like infomercials prying on late night television viewers. At first I was very weary of trying to settle and had no idea what the “offer in compromise” program consisted of, but Mr. Cortez explained it to me and after being out of options decided I would give it a try. The process itself was VERY slow and at times I became doubtful that we would ever reach an offer with the IRS. Mr. Cortez along with Jason Peart and the rest of his team had warned me of this, but I never expected it to be so long. The IRS likes to set strict deadlines for documentation they require and at times it was stressful but again Isai and Jason, worked with me around the clock and held my hand throughout the entire process. Truthfully, I did not think the IRS would even want to settle on my $120,727, but they did and they did for $500, yes you read that right five hundred. I am extremely grateful for the hard work, honesty and dedication of Bismark Tax and I would recommend anyone I know to give them a try.

I was really rattled after my initial encounter with the IRS auditor, and called Isai after reading some reviews on yelp. He was very helpful, and took my case on, even though it was a rather small amount of tax due. I wanted a tax attorney to handle this, someone to push back against what i saw as a...n abusive, uncooperative auditing session. Isai not only knocked my tax due down from $6100 to $1950, he confronted this auditor (after confirming my belief that she was being unprofessional) and called her bluff with a possible letter to her superiors, then, after being kicked out of the interview, going back to her (at her request) and getting my numbers cut by 2/3. Thank you, Isai! I will be back. Too bad there's not 6 stars! You would get them from me.

Trust me don’t use anyone else but Bismark Tax. I used my tax preparer for two separate IRS audit years because his service included free audit representation. Big mistake, especially seeing my preparer was an Enrolled Agent not a CPA or Attorney like Isai at Bismark. My preparer gave me horrible ...advice which lead the IRS to drag in a third year to audit which was not smart at all. I of course fired my preparer and hired Bismark Tax immediately. This was the best decision so far. Isai was able to do his magic as a tax attorney and turn my horrible situation into a great outcome. A little background on Isai. His rates are very reasonable. He is very detail oriented and picks up his phone every time I call; unlike my preparer. I can tell that Isai really cares about you and is always looking out for your best interest. He is definitely not like your usual attorney who is all about the $$. I will be recommending Isai to all my friends and family. Don’t make my same mistake. Hire Isai as soon as you receive that dreaded IRS letter in the mail.

Having arrived at Isai office in an panic and with a lot of concern--Let face it I was a big baby having been to so many other legal professional. Needless to say I was a handful to deal with at the time. Isai is as good as it gets when it comes to an attorney who understands taxes, and the laws su...rrounding them. He works hard for his customers! He established a quick level of trust and sense of calmness when what seems to be a dead end situation. He constructs his explanation is fact and simple context so you can understand the situation clearly. He is beyond patient. His assessment was accurate and the outcome was as he stated. I learned a lot form Isai. Did I say that he was PATIENT and alway responsive and reassuring. Thank you Isai. Isai is the 3rd tax attorney I worked with and he was the finest of them all. As a tax lawyer he had the most important characteristic that none of the others had... PROFESSIOALISM.
