Q: Can you really stop wage garnishments?
Yes, we often negotiate with the IRS or state to release or reduce wage garnishments while we work on a long-term resolution plan.

Q: Do you handle state tax issues too?
Absolutely. We represent clients with both IRS and state Department of Revenue tax matters.

Q: What if I haven’t filed taxes for several years?
We can help bring you back into compliance by preparing and filing missing returns while negotiating to minimize penalties.

Q: Will I have to meet with the IRS in person?
No—our team handles communications with the IRS on your behalf, so you don’t have to.
