Alex was a great help with my dealings with the IRS and I was able to trust him completely with my tax issues. He took over the communications with them and made sure all the details were covered. With his help, we ended up only having to pay a small amount for the settlement and I was more than satisfied with the result.

I recently had a tax issue with the IRS & Franchise Tax Board that went back several years and had grown to a large overdue tax bill. Please note I said, "had" a tax issue. Over the course of the last several months Alex was not only able to file previously unfiled tax returns, amend previously submitted tax returns, have penalties removed and establish a monthly payment program with both agencies. Today, I no longer have any tax issues.

I am not stressing about another letter in the mail from either of these agencies demanding payment. No, I am living the good life. Thanks to Alex. If you ever find yourself at odds with either of these agencies, I strongly suggest you consider calling Alex. He really can help you! He is knowledgeable. He is fair. He is real, and he is nice.
