Mr. Boeshaar resolved an old IRS issue on a business that closed in 2005 efficiently and quickly. He dealt directly with the IRS rep, so I did not have to deal with them and settled a claim, that came completely out of the blue, that was originally for over 120k for less than $4000. Initially, I contacted the IRS, but it became clear immediately that this issue could escalate quickly. I had no experience dealing with tax law and honestly was not even clear on my rights and did not want to rely on the IRS for this information under these circumstances. Mr. Boeshaar's previous experience working for the IRS, no doubt cut through a lot of the red tape and he came up with a clear plan and punch list to resolve this claim. After providing what docs were still available after 15 years, he negotiated the settlement and case closed. I would never recommend anyone going it alone with the IRS without help. In my case the initial consult was not charged, so there was nothing to lose, anyway, but, as it turned out, a lot to gain.

Bob helped me out a couple of years ago when I had to unsnarl a nasty tax situation with the IRS. He was nonjudgmental and professional, and he helped me resolve the situation in a timely manner. Recently, when I needed help with obtaining a DirectPlus loan from the Department of Education, Bob was equally efficient. He managed to resolve an issue that I had been working on for two months in less than three days, and I was able to obtain the loan I needed for my daughter's college expenses. I highly recommend Bob as your attorney for any tax-related issues.

excellent experience/results - from IRS bill of $25,000+ to refunds!
I had met Bob a couple of times before, and when I had a situation arise, I knew where to go for help. Long story short...my wife's grandfather was way behind on his taxes, being 80 years old and preoccupied with his wife dying of cancer. When we visited for the funeral, I heard of the situation with the IRS garnishing some of his social security income, sending letters, etc, etc. I decided to help as best we could. I gathered as much information as I could and went to Bob to see if he would be willing to take some time to review what I was doing and suggest some things. I followed his advice carefully, Bob reviewed what I had done, and we submitted 6 years of tax returns. Bottom line, instead of a $25,000+ tax bill, we ended up with refunds coming from the IRS! And all with little hassle once we followed the steps Bob recommended! He was very helpful throughout! I highly recommend Bob as his experience working for the IRS before helps as he understands how the IRS is likely to respond to anything you will submit. Thank-you Bob!!
