In 2016 I was in a world of tax turmoil. Not sleeping, constantly worried, when would the lien might occur or when was the garnishment hammer going to drop. Then it happened. I don't know what you would do when a IRS Agent knocks at your door, but for me it was polarizing. I didn't have a clue as w...

Successfully argued for deeming the debt as Non Collectible status to cease collection procedures.
The court sided with my argument and ruled that my clients wages were exempt from garnishment.
IRS reassessed the tax liability as zero.
Prevailed, all the levies placed on my client's accounts were removed within two days of the notice of levy.
We successfully argued for the Franchise Tax Board to withdraw its Notice of Action and stop garnishing my client's wages.
The judge reversed the assessment by ruling in favor of my client.
We successfully convinced on appeal for the Franchise Tax Board to stop garnishing my client's wages.
