This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Fantastic communicator. Outstanding personal attention

I reached out to John Wetenkamp with a debt close to 150k & some serious personal obstacles as well. John was easy to communicate with & worked hard to settle my debt with the IRS, while navigating some of my personal issues. Ultimately he did a wonderful job and cut my amount owed by over 80%. Re...aching the IRS is extremely difficult & time consuming. I would strongly recommend hiring a personal tax attorney like John. Do not trust the tax saving agencies. get the personal attention.

Best Person John W

After years with my tax debt, I found John and it became my best decision yet to experience what a true professional can accomplish. After a rejected OIC, John stayed with me over the years through my business ups and downs. Then my office manager had a stroke and I was alone for many years until COV...ID shut me down after 33 years in business. I am now retired and just got on the CNC status where John saw through till the end. Now he has completed his agreement and then some. I am completely blown away by this honest man.

Excellent tax Attorney

Mr. Wetenkamp was able to settle a delinquent tax matter for me efficiently and professionally. I would highly recommend him for anyone with the same situation.

Trusted and professional attorney

John Wetenkamp took on a tax case from 10 years ago. John with detail and persistence secured an OIC saving me $250,000. John is very knowledgeable of IRS rulings and navigates the process for you. I highly recommend him. His demeanor his integrity and ease to work with are added value

Lifesaver!

I contacted John to help my daughter. She had not filed her taxes for 6 years. I had her get the returns done, and she owed so much money, I could see that she would never be able to get caught up. We called John, and after an initial phone interview, he said she would be a good candidate for an "Off...er in compromise". We met with John in person and hired him to handle this for her with the IRS. It took almost a year (which John had told us it probably would) and the offer was accepted by the IRS. They settled for pennies on the dollar and my daughter has a fresh start! We couldn't be happier and highly recommend John. He is very easy to work with.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
