I owed almost $62,000 and was getting my wages garnished. Within ten days they had the garnishment stopped, and we settled the whole thing for under $5,000. I cried in the parking lot.

You call us. We listen. In 15 to 30 minutes a tax attorney walks through your notices, your finances, and the realistic options on the table, at no cost.
We pull your IRS transcripts directly and verify what you actually owe, the statute dates, and whether the IRS has miscalculated, because they often do.
Your attorney files the resolution that fits: settlement, payment plan, hardship status, lien release. We deal with the IRS so you don't have to.
Garnishments stop. Levies release. The debt is resolved on terms you can live with. We stay on for compliance so it doesn't happen again.
National "tax relief" companies advertise on TV, charge thousands upfront, then assign your case to a sales rep. We are a small, attorney-led firm based in Fresno. The lawyer on your free consult is the lawyer who handles your case.
Real lawyers with real bar numbers and real attorney-client privilege. Not just "tax professionals" or enrolled agents working alone.
You will know your total cost before you sign anything. No hourly surprises, no upsells once we are in.
We work here and know the local IRS and FTB offices on a first-name basis. That local knowledge matters when negotiating.
Call before 3pm and a real person at the firm will get back to you the same business day. Often within the hour.

Sometimes. It works when you genuinely cannot pay in full before the collection statute expires. The IRS accepts roughly one in three offers nationally, and the right outcome depends on your income, assets, and necessary living expenses. We will tell you upfront, on your free consult, whether an Offer in Compromise is realistic for your situation.
Most cases are billed at a flat fee determined after your free consultation, so you will know the total before you sign anything. Fees scale to case complexity: a single penalty abatement letter is far less than a multi-year audit defense.
The IRS will eventually move from notices to action: wage garnishment, bank levies, federal tax liens against your property, and seizure of refunds. The earlier we get involved, the more options remain on the table.
No. We are a small Fresno law firm. National TV relief companies typically charge $4,000 to $8,000 upfront, route you through sales reps, and outsource the actual work. With us, an attorney handles your case from start to finish.
No. We handle the entire process by phone, video, secure document portal, and mail. We have clients we have never met in person who reached complete resolutions.
Yes. We routinely resolve California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) income tax debts, Employment Development Department (EDD) payroll cases, and California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) sales tax issues.
