Highly recommend him to anyone

To say that I am pleased with the results I have received after working with Darryl Hale would be an understatement. When I was referred to Mr Hale, I had accumulated over $160,000 in tax debt. After filing some back tax returns, the debt was reduced to $90,000. Darryl was able to not only stop the IRS from forcing collection actions against me, my debt was reduced to $699 – amazing! His “staytuitiveness” and commitment to getting the job done has proven to be a real godsend. I am ecstatic with the end result and would highly recommend him to anyone who is overwhelmed with tax debt and wants to find resolution once and for all.

Deb S

Helped to settle my debt

I want to thank you for the work you did for me! You helped to settle my debt with the IRS totaling a little over $58,000 which included interest and penalties. They were in the beginning stages of wage garnishment. He got that stopped right away. When the process was complete, my Offer In Compromise with the IRS allowed me to only pay them $3,840.00. I want to especially thank Darryl Hale for the hard work that he put into getting this done!! Well done! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I want the whole world to know how you helped me!

I just want to thank you for lowering my tax debt; I want the whole world to know how you helped me! I was over my head with the IRS and I didn’t know what to do. I had been praying for a way to get out of this tax debit and trying to figure out what to do. I had owed over $20.000.00 to the IRS and the penalties were getting higher every month. They worked with me and worked with me, and finally they reached a settlement for me to pay back $2936.99. I was a happy camper! Thanks again for all your assistance.

Above and beyond expectation

I just want to thank you for all that you have done for my husband and me. Your efficiency in handling our situation was above and beyond expectation. The rate was great for the return of investment. I appreciate you patience and professionalism while dealing with us on this difficult case.

Helped us tremendously

Darryl, I am very greatful in how you took care of us in dealing with the IRS. We had a very difficult time trying to figure out how we were going to take care of our tax problem. We had a huge tax amount of $54,000. After we paid $30,000, that left us with a balance of $24,000. Your representing us with our financial situation helped us tremendously. It took a while to get things done and our patience was really stretched but you got the job done. After all your hard work they settled for a balance of $7,000 which is a huge relief as we try to get ourselves back in order financially. We had it reduced by $17,000. (wow) You even went the extra mile as you helped in setting up our payments and fees. I recommend your service to anyone who has a similar situation where they are unable to pay their taxes.

How You’re Missing Legal Tax Deductions

Here’s a certain truth: the State and Federal Government would love to have more of your hard-earned money in their accounts. Sure, even though it’s painful, none of us begrudge paying our legal and fair share of taxes.

But the problem is that regular taxpayers, like you, are missing out on legal and safe deductions, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars in unclaimed refunds every year!
