Raviv Saved My Business and my LIfe

I built my company over the past 30 years. We imports beef and chicken from South America. When the containers come into the Long Beach Port, the paperwork for the taxes is handled by our Port Broker. The Broker sends us invoices and we pay the government according to the Broker's instructions. I...t turns out that the beef quota was changed about 3 years ago and that once the quota is reached, the taxes for importing beef quadruple. Our Broker failed to inform us of this at 24 months later, the government came knocking demanding nearly $3,000,000.00 (THATS MILLIONS) in back taxes, fees and penalties. Without getting too specific as to how he did it, Raviv was able to delay the whole process by nearly a year. At the end of the year the government could NOT collect a penny from us! There is no way that we would have survived a $3,000,000.00 hit, it simply would have shut us down.
