Best in the West!

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have chosen John Wetenkamp as my tax relief attorney. I did my due diligence vetting many attorneys that would be willing to tackle over $400k in IRS debt. His patience and understanding for our very messy tax situation was incredible. He went above and beyo...nd and was able to lift 1,000 bricks off our shoulders by freeing us from the dark cloud (IRS). Most importantly, he gave us hope for a bright future and provided. I highly recommend him!!!

Excellent Tax Attorney

John Wetenkamp resolved my tax issues that I have been dealing with for over 5 years. He was able to get me an Offer In Compromise and saved me thousands of dollars

Thank you!!!!

I had a $90,000+ bill with the California State Board of Equalization that I had been fighting for several years. They got me a settlement of just over $6,000. I could not be more happy.

Getting free of the IRS

As the most feared of all Government bodies, I was the unlucky person who fell victim to their wrath, albeit unintentionally. Owing to a few questionable decisions, I wasn’t going to be able to make my income taxes. However, this wasn’t the first time this was happening. Over the past couple of ...years, my quality of life had gone on a steady decline, much like my job opportunities. My inability to pay my bills, let alone my taxes, landed me in hot water with the IRS again and again. Mainly because they didn’t fit the stereotypes in the movies, I wasn’t particularly intimidated with them until it became apparent that the IRS was running out of patience and paperwork tosend to meand sent me a summons.While I was terrified, it didn’t mean that thingswere overfor me. Luckily, before I lost the fight entirely, I decided to take a friend’s advice and get some professional representation. Exploring my options, I chose to settle on Montgomery & Wetenkamp, a law firm of some repute. They had a lot of glowing reviews and testimonials. It was the initial meeting with John Wetenkamp, himself, which settled the fact that I knew I was working with a great firm. They were invested in helping me from the start and worked tirelessly to help, get my debt settled, which was enormous to be exact, with an offer in compromise. From the first meeting, John Wetenkamp was articulate about laying down the plan. The team working with me kept me in the loop and mapped each step of the way to keep track of everything. Despite all odds, they didn’t stop until they had won a settlement which was affordable for me, in light of my current financial status. I literally felt like I had won a lottery since it felt like a huge pressure was now off my back.Not only do I get to finally move on with my life, I get to do it without the IRS breathing down my neck. There services are so amazing; I would highly recommend them to anyone going through the same situation.
