Posted by Lisa | March 11, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Tax

Thank you for your help with our tax issues.

Ryan helped us with some tax issues. We were being audited due to a mix up. I was overpaid some disability income in the 2015 tax year. It was paid back in the same year, yet the original W2 didn't have the correct income on it. The accountant that did our taxes, filed before we received the co...rrected W2. After we received the corrected W2, she filed an amendment. Apparently the second W2 was in error as well. She tried to fix it, but only in a letter to the IRS. My husband and I didn't know there was an error in the second W2. After contacting Ryan, he was able to help us figure this out right away. We received a third W2 from my company and he was able to expedite the process in getting this to the IRS. For about 6 months, I had been spending many of my days off trying to contact someone in the IRS to help. I kept getting the run around. Our accountant didn't help at all. Once I found Ryan he was able to get me in right away to look into the matter. He was able to communicate with the IRS in a more accelerated manner than we ever could . I recommend Ryan to anyone that needs help with tax issues.

Thorough and Efficient

Ryan was very easy to work with. He was very thorough while compiling and completing my estate plan but did so in a timely manner. I'm very happy with the results and would hire him again.

Excellent attorney

My wife and I hired Mr. Blodgett to help us with our estate planning. He made the process very simple for us and we were able to sort out our wills, power of attorney and other documents very easily. We feel good knowing that we have a plan in place and Mr. Blodgett was helpful in explaining what e...ach document meant and how they would protect our future.

Estate Planning

Ryan Blodgett guided my wife and I through the estate planning process in an organized manner. He carefully explained each step of the process, the purpose of each document that may be included in the estate planning, and helped us determine the scope of the estate planning. He asked pertinent ques...tions, explained what information (and why) he needed from us, and used a checklist to collect the required information to complete the estate planning. Ryan is detail-oriented, organized, respectful, demonstrates integrity, and delivers on his promises.
