Out From Under Tax Burden
David provided exceptional advice and guidance as I dealt with numerous years of tax debt with lots of interest accrued. He calmly let me know my options and we developed a plan that worked out in the very best way possible. I can't recommend him enough!

Best Lawyer to have for IRS / TAX Problems
We met David after receiving a terrible tax liability notice from IRS. We were what David referred to as the "turbo tax affectees" We took some bad advice from the online forum and filed our taxes. The result was pretty stiff penalty and we didn't know what to do. David was the absolute right person to deal with this matter. He told us that he had seen cases like us and explained the whole process in great detail from that point onwards. We were so touched by his empathy and simple nature that we felt as if we had come to a family elder for help. He told us on day one that even though IRS is a very bureaucratic and complex organization he is was very optimistic that we will come out good on the other side. David is a very thorough professional which is reflected in the briefs he prepared and we were pleased with the level of details he incorporated in these after interviewing us in detail. With David we felt the comfort level and confidence that we were truly in good hands because of his vast experience and sympathetic nature, truly a gentleman. He was personally available to us throughout the the whole ordeal. We couldn't have selected a better person to fix our inadvertent mistake on a tax form. With David you get heavy weight legal professional with tremendous experience on your side and believe me you do. He is such a great guy we can't thank him enough to help us. Highly recommend him for all the tax related problems and issues that you may have. He is amazing.

Best Experience EVER!
With great reluctance I sought the services of a Tax Bankruptcy Attorney. I had been advised that I needed to find an attorney that specializes in declaring bankruptcy against back taxes, specifically, or the bankruptcy would only cause more problems. David Greenberg took my case, treated me with respect and dignity, and did exactly what I needed done. The communication with his office was clear and timely and covered every single step with expertise. He saved me over $200,000. What I thought would be a terrible experience, ended up being truly one of the best experiences of my life! I should never have waited so long! I HIGHLY recommend David Greenberg and his staff! THE BEST!!

EDD Attorney
When EDD contacted me to do an audit, you can imagine how anxious I was. Mr. Greenberg made the process easy to understand and helped through the process. It made the experience bearable and we had a good outcome. I don’t know what I would do without his help.

High praise for David Greenberg
My husband and I were referred to Mr. Greenberg through our EAP. He immediately made time to consult with us regarding a complex situation with the IRS. Mr. Greenberg methodically explained everything to us and made our work a priority. He walked us through everything we needed to know and each step. He also monitored our progress to ensure deadlines were met and the terms of our agreement were correct. Mr. Greenberg was a true professional with tremendous expertise in this area of law and has an impeccable track record. We are so thankful for his services and his attention to detail. We highly recommend Mr. Greenberg for legal services related to tax matters. He took the uncertainty and fear that we had away and allowed us to methodically work toward a solution that was acceptable. He does not “sugar coat” things and educated us along the way. The process required a lot of our time as well and there were many things we did not understand until he explained them. He is very direct and honest which we appreciated.

A very satisfied experience!
Mr Greenberg represented us in our small business chapter 7 bankruptcy and also most recently our personal chapter 7 bankruptcy. Both cases were a great success. it is a tremendous blessing to have those burdens off our back. Mr. Greenberg and Staff were always available and wiling to answer our many questions. Bankruptcy is a rather scary and daunting experience to walk through, and Mr. Greenberg took a lot of time to make clear every step of the process until we understood. this personal touch was both a great comfort and very reassuring to us! thank you Mr. Greenberg for everything!

My Bankruptcy Case
Mr. Greenberg provided relief to my life situation that I never thought I could achieve. My name is Marlene and I have had financial hardships in the past 8 years. It began with divorce and followed by losing my job which supported me and my daughter. As a single mom I was already in some heavy debt, so losing my job was simply devastating. For 4 years I struggled. It was difficult to find a comparable management position and so I had to take odds jobs doing everything from babysitting to cleaning homes. I could barely put food on the table. The mounting debt weighted so heavy on me and the phone calls from debtors with treats was overwhelming. It became so bad I changed my phone number. First of all, I am a praying woman and I never stopped praying and believing that things would turn around. I asked God to send me the resources, the knowledge, and the tools to handle my life, my debt and my responsibilities. 6 years later I got a decent job and decided to contact my debtors to make payment arrangements. What I found out was that the interest, sur charges and fees had made most of my debt double and in some cases triple. Although I did my best to make small payments there was clearly no way I was ever going to get on top of it all. I continued paying minimum payments and the interests continued to compound. But I also continued praying. Well I decided to find a way to consolidate things and began to research and seek out assistance. I did not consider bankruptcy as for some reason I did not think I would qualify. I had also heard of many scams where people charged large fees and disappeared. I met such a person who was very interested in helping at a very large fee but also made it clear that I would have to do a lot of work with absolutely no guarantees I would be able to reach agreements with my debtors. I could barely make my monthly payments plus live so how was I going to pay $3000 and then end up in more debt. I became disheartened again. I then decided to use my work referral program. The first 3 attorney's I spoke with over the phone all gave me the same spiel. Large fees with no guarantees. Mr. Greenberg was the last referral I was going to try. To my amazement he was refreshingly kind, understanding and spoke in a way I could understand. He told me to come and see him so we can go over all my debt in detail and then see what options I had. I felt a feeling of peace after this phone call. When we met Mr. Greenberg did exactly what he said he would do. He reviewed my situation, he did not do the fast talk with legal ease that I could not understand. He reviewed my debt and then he spoke words that I had not heard or imagine I would hear. He said I had a clear-cut case for bankruptcy and that my debt was eligible for discharge. I told him I did not believe it but would listen to what he had to say. He then proceeded to carefully and slowly explain why I was eligible and how the process would work. He explained step by step what I should expect and what paperwork I would have to provide. He answered my every question and at the end he guaranteed me that my case would be discharged. I walked away in disbelieve and that night I cried with relief. This was the first moment in 8 years i felt a peaceful feeling come over me. I knew God had answered my prayers. Mr. Greenberg said how awful it must be to be in my situation and said I deserved to a fresh start at a normal life. He said my daughter deserved this as well. He really cared. We filed in June and every single process and procedure he said would happen, HAPPENED. He prepared me with knowledge, paperwork, guidance and he told me what questions I would be asked and how to answer them. Today, October 4th, I received my discharge paperwork. I have a fresh start and a new life ahead me thanks to Mr. David Greenberg. He is absolutely wonderful and trustworthy and he cares. I have hope again and I plan to make better choices.

He is a super big help with tax problems. He is very informative, knows exactly what to do & when. He is also sympathetic & understanding; knows what to say to calm all fears & worries. Furthermore, he works his hardest to ensure comfortable payment plans or alternative discount methods to ease any financial obligations. He is a great asset to those in need of tax resolutions.

Remarkably Brilliant!
What can I say about David other than he is a genius and knows his tax law. In 2009 I was hit extremely hard by the financial meltdown. I contacted David to help my wife and I through a personal bankruptcy and a 6 digit IRS Tax Lien. He was wonderful to work with and walked us through the whole process. The biggest hurdle was the IRS Tax debt. What an amazing job David performed. It took some time, as he said it would. The IRS agreed to an Offer and Conpromise and forgave 97% of the debt. I would highly recommend David Greenberg for any Tax or Bankruptcy issues. He is amazing.

Thanks to Mr. Greenberg, my enormous tax issues with the IRS and State of California were brought under control. His knowledge regarding taxes is up to date. His staff is also very courteous and helpful. I can recommend him very highly.

Review of David S. Greenberg
In 2013, I interviewed and subsequently hired Dave Greenberg, to specifically, assist me with past Tax filings, and reconciliation of financial documents needed to be filed upon my divorce and closing of business in the Bay Area prior to my relocation to San Diego. I have been more than satisfied with his firm and his direct service to me. So much so, I referred three people to him, who have found his service to be equally satisfactory. I would reccomend Dave to anyone in need of Tax counseling, representation before the IRS and State Board of Equalization.
