Ursula Barrios
Replied last June 07, 2011When helping our bankruptcy clients, preparing taxes or investigating suspected tax fraud is not one of the services we are retained to perform. We trust that our clients are truthful with their financial affairs (taxes) and with the court and always give them the benefit of the doubt that their taxes purport to comply with their duties to all tax authorities. When informing clients of how certain trustees react when presented with certain issues, there are generally always ways to resolve the issue. After presenting this resolution and options to the client, they decide how they wish to proceed and we cannot force them either way. Should they not wish to accept our sound advice, then there is little we can do to help them from that point. As for Barrios & Machado "being quick to take money", our law firm has handled hundreds of successful bankruptcy cases, from simple to very complicated. We have taken many pro bono cases and offer low fees to those who truly cannot afford our reasonably-priced services. We offer long-term payment plans to those who have no other option. Our track record with the court and our clients is stellar. One poor review from debtors who were/are suspected of years of tax fraud by the bankruptcy court does not blemish our reputation as upstanding attorneys and any such allegations border on libelous.
