BEWARE

Michael Mandale is not at 230 S. Broad Street - has not been at this address for a couple years by his own admittance. The Attorney in this office has declared they are no longer affiliated with him. I unfortunately gave him $300 to send the IRS a Letter of Representation and prepare a Power of Atto...rney form, but no letter was ever prepared and I could not get a copy of the POA after asking several times. After I asked him for proof of these two simple documents and could not get them, I was concerned. He could not answer my questions regarding the LOR, but did request me to send him the $1,400.00 to prepare an Offer in Compromise. He said he did not accept credit card; only cash and check made out to his name personally and not a business name. I begin researching to learn more about him, the three reviews before I met with him were good, but after I got concerned I was scammed, I found I was. I uncovered several terrible reviews from very upset individuals that were out of thousands of dollars. As hard as it was for me to loss $300, one couple was out $3,000 and no representation as promised. This couple was continuous told when demanding answers that he was not in the office for one reason or another and they later found no work was done, which resulted in an IRS Levy. PLEASE, you are already in financial jeopardy and do not need someone to take what you have left and do nothing.
