Christian Andrew Montgomery

It is my great pleasure to unreservedly recommend Christian Montgomery: he is an absolutely amazing attorney: talented, competent, knowledgeable, capable, efficient, empathetic, and creative, with a lovely and admirable personality. He is not only a great choice of attorney to hire, but also an exce...llent attorney to know, as a resource, if you need to ask a quick question regarding taxes, or financial issues in general. He is always easily and promptly available and quickly responds to any question. I consider myself VERY LUCKY to have Christian as my attorney. I work with many attorneys, as a part of my job, so I had opportunity to compare him to others: Christian is top notch and clearly superior when it comes to knowledge, competence, empathy, personality, and patience. I consider myself very lucky, to have had Christian as my attorney, fighting for my interests and always delivering the most favorable resolution. I have hired Christian already on 2 occasions. First time, I received a letter from IRS, claiming I owed significant amount of money. I had no idea what was going on, and IRS was not explaining much in their letter. I hired Christian and he figured out that since I have a history of Offer in Compromise, and I was on probation at the time, IRS was claiming that, a few years before, I filled my taxes late, and as such, I broke the requirements of the probation and was now liable for the full amount that I initially owed. I felt literally sick. Christian not only took care of this issue but also managed to persuade them to cut my probation short and consider it completed, which I never asked for. Initially, I was hoping that, at best, we can negotiate a smaller amount or more time. I couldn’t even imagine such a favorable outcome that Christian achieved. During the process of negotiating with IRS, Christian showed an amazing competence, efficacy, initiative, dedication, and creativity. Once the whole thing was done, I literally felt like my life was given back to me. On a second occasion, again, I got a letter stating that I owed money to CDTFA. Again, I had never heard of them and had no idea what they were about and why I owed them money. Again, there was no explanation what the debt was about, and I couldn’t get anyone on the phone to have a meaningful conversation. Luckily, I already had a great tax attorney: Christian to the rescue: he figured what the whole thing was about, and again achieved the most favorable result, and I ended not paying anything. Then there were situations when I would get a phone call, claiming that they were calling from some federal agency and that my identity was stolen and asking me to provide all sorts of information. What a relief it was to be able to say: “Let me talk to my attorney”, knowing that Christian will call back promptly and know how to proceed in a best way. Christian also recommended a great accountant to take care of my taxes in the future. Now, I wouldn’t be very honest, if I were to say that I am looking forward to working with Christian in the future, because that would imply that I would have financial and tax issues again, however, it gives me a great peace of mind and confidence that, should I have any issues or problems, I have Christian on my side.

I hired Christian when the IRS issued a Trust Fund Recovery against me. I had never even heard of such a thing, and didn't know where to begin with defense. Christian explained the situation, process, and guided me through the entire process. He was realistic about the possibility of a positive ou...tcome, and advised me on worst case scenario. Christian was easy to communicate with, kept me apprised of the progress in my case, and responsive to my questions. Against the odds, he obtained excellent results in my legal matter. I would recommend him and his firm for tax matters without reservation.

I am so happy that I hired Mr. Montgomery to help me with my IRS debt that was hanging over my head for 8 years. I was thinking it would be great if I could get a monthly payment low enough for the next 10 years; it would be better than what I was dealing with. I had a great feeling once I had a cons...ultation with Mr. Montgomery, because he did not make me feel like a horrible person for ending up in this situation. WOW! I can not express how amazing I feel with this finally be over. I never received another phone call or demand letter from the IRS once I hired Mr. Montgomery. Within just under one year Mr. Montgomery got me a result that I never dreamed could be possible. We settled my case for under $300, which was literally less than one penny on the dollar. Yes it really happened! I was informed of every step along the way and was always encouraged to ask any questions. From the moment I didn't have to take a deep breath when opening my mailbox until I payed that payment to end this. Mr. Montgomery did not say that it would turn out that amazing; he said "I will do my best to resolve this situation with a result that you can live with". Now that I am out from under this debt, I can really live without fear of the IRS. I can't say thank you enough to Montgomery & Wetenkamp! I would recommend Montgomery & Wetenkamp to anyone who is nervous, stressed & worried about how to get relief from IRS debt that is too much to handle. I am so glad that my daughter did the research and told me to give them a call; it turned out to be the best phone call I've made in 10 years. I recommend calling if you need help from someone who really knows how to help you with the IRS.

I am at work one day and finance plops down an envelope - enclosed is a deduction of 50% of my gross paycheck. The feeling of knowing you are going to loose everything at that moment cannot be described. If you are reading this, it might be something you are experiencing right now. I knew for years I... had an outstanding IRS debt out there, but hey it was okay to ignore it. Maybe they had forgotten, even though they had a personal lien against me for over $80,000. I did an internet search and looked around. Didn't want someone to old and pricey nor someone who was green and barely had their license. I saw Christian Montgomery and checked out the reviews. I have Sirius in my mini van and listen to CNN and their commercials about tax relief. Didn't want someone who I was just a number either and probably would not deal with the same person each call either. Called this office and Christian asked questions and then he gave me their price to represent me. He also told me what he would represent for me. Sent him the check, the power- of - attorney and garnishment was gone while we negotiated. It took about a year to resolve the issue and get the final papers for my offer in comprise accepted. The IRS does not work fast. Christian would let me know what to expect in the paperwork submitted and the approximate time lines. Honestly, I am so glad that he represented me. It was such a relief to have this over with. It would have never happened without this law firm. I will say that the amount I had to pay was extremely reasonable and I have sent the check to the IRS. Thank you guys for being there when I needed the help and being honest and taking away the anxiety. I highly recommend the law firm, they are there for you.

Christian Montgomery is amazing! He's an angel! I only saw him once and a couple of calls. He's so humble, easy to deal with but sharp to IRS. Mere words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you sooo much, Christian from the bottom of my heart! He settled my taxes from $60000 to $5000. Definitely reco...mmend his firm. God bless you and your firm.
