Christopher took on my case and was able to decrease my tax liablility by $315,000!! I am very impressed with his professionalism and knowledge and would recommend him to anyone needing representation in dealing with the IRS. In addition to relieving debt owed he also eliminated the possibility of my having to spend any time away from my family in tax prison. He was able to navigate my back taxes and get everything that we asked for along with eliminating the huge debt burden to the IRS.
christopher larson represented me in a rather complicated irs case. i was a manager of a lounge for 23 years and when the owner did not pay his taxes they came after me for twenty two thousand dollers. chris took the irs head on and never gave up. I will never be able to thank chris enough for what he has done for me. with his persistance he won the case and there was a offer in compremise for twenty five dollers. i dont have to live in fear of the irs anymore !!! i highly recommend christopher larson , he is awesome !

My Review of Christopher Larson
I was referred to Chris Larson by a former client of his who selected him to represent her. I found Chris to be extremely effective in his communication & negotiation with IRS and my unpaid tax issues. He quickly followed up with me when I called him for updates on my case (now successfully concluded) In my opinion, Chris is the best tax attorney in the state of Washington and I very highly recommend him

Very Knowledgeable
Chris helped me solve a problem with form 3520 with the IRS. He is very knowledgeable of how the IRS operates and was very honest on what i should expect from the beginning. He also charged me a quarter of what other attorneys wanted to charge me. I never had an issue trying to reach him either and always answered my questions in a reassuring manner.

A Great Balance of Everything Needed In My Situation
I first came across Christopher Larson and Insight Law in 2011. I was a young entrepreneur who had made some past mistakes that compounded over time. I had no idea what to do or how to handle my issue and felt helpless. Upon my first conversation with Chris he did a great job at educating me on my options and how to pursue them. He calmed my nerves and we began the process of addressing and solving my issue. I was ultimately granted an offer due to his efforts, expertise and guidance.
In addition to the desired outcome I was amazed at his availability and service during the entire process. When I called someone always answered and my needs/questions were taken care of. His attentiveness to my questions and concerns were always met. His matter of fact approach, decisive attitude and knowledge of his specialty all contributed to the desired outcome and a pleased and satisfied client in me. I would recommend Mr. Christopher Larson and Insight Law to anyone needed his specialty services. Thanks Chris!

They will help you navigate, which I am sure is a stressful time in your life and negotiate on your behalf the best possible outcome. I am so pleased with my results and recomend them with the higest of praise.

Do yourself a favor, Hire Chris Larson!
Mr. Larson is a no nonsense attorney that gets the job done. He's extremely proficient with tax law and lays out exactly what you need to do. When the IRS contacted us, we found Mr. Larson and our fears went away. He reviewed our situation, laid everything out, how long the process would take and what to expect. Mr. Larson did everything and more than I could have ever expected. I can't say enough how Mr. Larson saved us. Thank you! I would recommend him to anyone.

Insight Law was the only one in my corner
When the IRS relentlessly pursued me for a debt that didn’t belong to me, Christopher Larson agreed to help. I’m sure he had no idea he’d spend 3 years defending me from the charging bull.
Mr. Larson was tenacious, patient, calm and fair. He persistently stayed in my corner. Through his dedication he ended up getting a more than fair settlement with the IRS. He released me from could have been another 10 years of IRS scrutiny. I feel liberated and can finally exhale. I’m so grateful to Mr. Larson and Insight Law.

Amazing Lawyer
Mr. Larson helped me out of a huge tax issue and I am forever thankful. He handled my case as quickly as he could (dealing with the IRS takes time) and settled the matter beyond my expectations. I would recommend him a million times over.

All I can say is WOW!
I starting my business many years ago and after not being able to pay the IRS for some of those years and sometimes not even filing I ended up getting myself almost $39,000 in debt to the IRS, At one point they had even levied my bank accounts. After meeting with a few different attorneys for help I ended up finding Chris on the internet. We had a face to face meeting and I decided to do business with him and thank God I did!! Chris got the IRS to accept a $500 offer in compromise. That absolutely blew my mind.....WOW! Anyway, throughout the whole process Chris was on top of everything and answered every one of my calls or called me back within an hour. He responded promptly to emails and even texts. Lack of communication in a business situation like this is a MASSIVE pet peeve of mine and I couldn't be happier with Chris' communication. I have referred already Chris to 4 or 5 people including my new bookkeeper for a couple of her clients. I am eternally grateful to Chris and can't convey enough how much I would recommend his services to people. Thanks again Chris!!!

very efficient lawyer
We received a letter from the IRS regarding tax owed from a business we had almost 11 years ago which we thought had been paid during the time we paid into the bankruptcy. I called Christopher and he informed me that we where not responsible . Then we had a IRS rep at our house saying we had to pay now. I called Christopher and he called the IRS rep right away. The rep never returned back to our home nor has returned the attornye's email or call. I can't thank him enough for helping us deal with the IRS.

Tax Liability Representation
I am a new client of Mr. Larson and have been very pleased with his services. He has been prompt in resolving my wage garnishment issue. Thorough in making sure that I understood the best plan of action. Honest and not promising pennies on the the dollar, but an accurate and fair plan of attack.
When the IRS comes knocking, this is the tax attorney that you want.

QUICK AND EFFICIENT!
I had a tax preparer miskey my SS# causing someone else's return to file under my name. The IRS held over 11 grand of my money for almost a year. I finally decided I'd had enough of the relentless phone calls with the answers of just wait longer and we don't know why our computer system won't kick out a check. I finally contacted Chris Larson and hired him to handle my situation. I had my refund check within a week!! Chris was quick and efficient! I had another issue with the IRS flagging my account because of the past issue. I got Chris involved again after waiting 4 weeks for my efile refund. He again got my check within 2 weeks! Thank you Chris Larson! I will definitely hire him again anytime I have issues with the IRS.

Great Attorney to work with on Tax Issues
I've been searching for an attorney to assist with income and small business tax issues for my business and my clients (I'm an attorney too), and finding Chris was such a relief. Chris' minute knowledge of the code is insanely impressive. He's knowledgeable on a wide range of tax issues and, best of all, is direct and clear when giving legal advice. A further bonus- no big firm egos and prices to drive me crazy.
Specifically, I have looked to Chris on complex issues relating to IRS tax controversies, setting up 401ks with small businesses (safe harbor, etc.), business tax returns, and small business start-up strategies. He's given spot-on straightforward advice.

Excellent Attorney
Chris is one of the best to work with. Chris worked my case wonderfully. I obtained Chris for my business taxes he handled my Offer and Compromise and No Collection status. This guy really knows his stuff and and would not leave you to battle any case without backing you. My experience turned out wonderful in such a short time. Now I don't owe a huge debt anymore thanks to Chris and his due diligence on the matter. I also recommended another friend that is currently working with him and is pleased thus far with his work ethics and timely mannerisms. I will continue to pass along his name to anyone that has a very immediate issue and will use him always.

Great lawyer!
I hired Christopher Larson to resolve a dispute with an agreement I had with a household contractor. Christopher was on the ball in order to get my problems sorted out, as prior to his involvement all I got was finger pointing back and forth from the contractor in question and his subs. He was very responsive on all of my questions, phone calls and other concerns I had during the process and was able to take away a majority of the headaches I was experiencing because of it.
