Daniel Wilbur Layton

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Solved the problem efficiently and kept me well informed throughout the process which relieved a great deal of stress.

Most everyone had several firsts during the Covid year of 2020. At the top of our first time list was the need to hire a tax attorney to help us through multiple issues with a past tax year. Daniel Layton provided us with excellent guidance, organization, explanation, and representation throughout the entire process of dealing with the IRS. We know as a fact that hiring Daniel prevented a disaster if we had tried to deal directly with the IRS on our own. We can also say with confidence that there is not another tax attorney with Daniel's unique combination of detailed tax law knowledge, personal empathy, and hard work. This combination produced what we considered to be a very favorable outcome. One that would certainly not have happened without Daniel. If you find yourself in the situation of needing to hire a tax attorney, we enthusiastically recommend Daniel Layton.

Daniel was superb. He is experienced, intelligent, caring, and gets the job done. I have had several attorneys over the past few years and Daniel is the only one I had complete confidence in. I am so appreciative of the work he did for me and highly recommend him.

Mr Layton was highly recommended. I felt more comfortable knowing he had first hand knowledge from working at the IRS. Not only that, but Mr Layton is genuinely kind and concerned with helping you. Lastly, and unusually, his billing was very reasonable for his excellent advice.

Several taxation concerns about the planned future sale of my house had been on my mind for months but after finding Atty. Layton through Findlaw, he quickly returned contact, and arranged a short consultation that was more helpful and responsive than most of the previous inquiries I had made elsewhere. He asked several important questions, gave me some insightful suggestions that changed the direction of my planning and left me content that I was on a path to resolution. His manner and attention impressed me, despite that my needs did not involve litigation. Thank you, Atty. Layton !

I consulted with Mr. Layton regarding my inquiry with matters related to 18 U.S. Code § 1001. He proved to be not only genuinely concerned and thoughtful with regards to my situation, but very knowledgeable as well. The information he provided to me was invaluable, for sure. I would strongly advise consulting with him should the need arise.

My wife and I hired Daniel after fighting with the IRS for over two years. He took the case over from another firm we hired who failed to resolve the matter. Daniel settled the matter within just a few days. And he was able to get the IRS to return 10,000 we had previously paid to the IRS to settle the case. He is quite simply amazing!!!

I hired Mr. Layton to help me out of a terrible tax problem due to my husband. I was so nervous and scared on our first meeting. He was so professional and understanding. Daniel Layton explained how the process of filing an Innocent Spouse claim worked. It took some time but I won my case. I can’t thank him enough !!

I would trust him with my life (tax-wise) Daniel is... 1. Meticulous. I talked to several other attorneys before I landed in his office (and hired him). They assessed within a few minutes, while he took much longer...not because he's slow--he's very sharp and intelligent, but because he is insanely careful. While that may seem expensive in the short run, I personally prefer a careful, rather than sloppy attorney. My peace of mind and financial future is at stake: and I wanted someone to give my care it deserves. Even after I hired him, he continued to be careful and meticulous. Ultimately, it's my life on the line. 2.Fair and trustworthy. The other reviewers said that Daniel's reasonable with his fees (in my case, they were generous, not just fair). 3. Kind. Daniel and his paralegals are compassionate. I was a sobbing mess from the time I first called his office, then when I walked into his office, and even after he took me on. Neither he nor his paralegals made me feel lousy, or stupid for making those mistakes. 4. He's very sharp. He was able to respond flexibly as our circumstances changed. Every other review raved about how he's ethical, smart, and kind, and I've had the same experience!

Stunned by my tax audit for 2009-2011 and shocked by the incompetence of the accountant/enrolled agent recommended by my tax software company which led to the IRS seizing all my incomein 2015, I scrambled to find an attorney to protect my interests. I reviewed the experience of 4 attorney's and 3 accounts before seeking a consultation. Daniel's strong academic background along with his extensive work for the IRS, in one of it's most difficult divisions, was a part of why I selected him. When we met, his ability to listen and understand made it easy my choice easy. Additionally he is extremely kind. From May of 2015 to July 2015 read every IRS regulation regarding my case. While i was reading Daniel put together the "Dream Team" an incredible accountant who went through every recorded transaction, a retired IRS Supervisor of 34 years who has been on speaking tour, and an IRS agent from the IRS's Special Division "Taxpayer Advocate". In 1 week he filed all the necessary paperwork to stop the IRS seizure of income, and by mid July 2018 he began the entire reconstruction of those 3 tax years. Rather than making an offer in compromise he was able to prove 100% that i had not "under reported" my income and thus clearing me from the IRS's special list of people they audit on a more regular basis. More importantly i had been doing my own taxes for 35 years but got into a complex situation because I had started a new company and thought i had the time to manage the new business and do my taxes. I since have learned although I had a lot of experience I needed to have tax experts in my corner. As a physician providing services to our community, I can't thank Daniel and our "Dream Team" enough for the simple reason that he helped protect me now and when I retire so I can continue to do my work for you and our community of loved ones, family and friends. Daniel in essence gave me, and my family, my life back. The reimbursement i paid to Daniel and his team were at exteremly reasonable rates and quite honestly Daniel was very sensitive to keep his rates low and always made sure his time was spent to reduce my tax consequence while being in full compliance with the law. I, in my practice of medicine, have come accross some of the highest and most respected and ethical women and men in the field. None of them exceed those qualties Daniel has and it appears has practiced his entire life. I must recommend him with the highest honors and respect I can give him. He is a great person who with humility and integrity saved my life!

Daniel Layton is a very knowledgeable attorney and straight forward character. Liked how he is handling my case with dealing with incompetence prepares from the past. All around you cannot go wrong with Daniel Layton.

Daniel helped me after I was served with a notice of a federal tax lien. I hired Daniel to be my attorney and to represent our company before the IRS. Daniel represented us and handled all of our communications with the IRS. He took the details of my case, contacted the IRS, and addressed the tax lien filing. I felt very comfortable working with Daniel. He is a friendly and nice man with his clients. He was very knowledgeable about what I should expect in my case and gave me good recommendations on how to proceed.

I am in-house counsel for a property management company. The IRS sent us on a tax claim matter. We had never used Mr. Layton before, but decided to give his practice a try. Dealing with the IRS never a pleasant experience, but Mr. Layton did do a very competent job. What I liked the most about working with him is his level of communication. As in-house counsel, I have to deal often with outside counsel. Some are not so good about communicating the status of the case or what the strategy should be in light of new events. Mr. Layton, however, was exceptional, as I found him to be quite proactive and conscientious about keeping the client up to date. Because of his high level of attentive communication, I did not have to worry that my case was being handled in a competent manner. I would definitely use him again, if another tax matter arose.

Daniel Layton is to be applauded for his timeliness, knowledge, capability, and work ethic as he assisted us in the final stages of an IRA tax audit. This trustworthy, hard working, capable attorney is a rare find! We are grateful for his part in bringing about a far more just and equitable outcome.

The 2014 Tax Return is a very stressful for me but with the expertise and guidance of Mr. Dan Layton, I was able to unload the heavy burden. Personally, I found Mr. Layton as honest, trustworthy and has excellent customer service meaning, Mr. Layton's personal attachment to his client. Highly recommended to people with Tax Issues.
