I got behind on my taxes and didn't know which way to turn. My coworker advised me that she had a niece name was Ms. that worked at Legal Tax Defense so I gave them a call. They took over my case I was able to keep the areas from garnishing my wages or taking my home. My case manager is named Janet *** She is AWESOME. She always kept in touch with me to advise me every step of the way on what was next and what I needed to do to move forward.

This company definitely deserves a 5-star rating. Everyone I talked with was very knowledgeable and friendly. They told me all about the options I have and they were able to choose the best one for me. I was able to get the best deal, and they were able to save me over $80,000. I have recommended them to people I know, and they got the same benefit and are very pleased. Legal Tax Defense helps me every step of the way and can always answer all my questions. They were able to work out an affordable payment with the IRS for me and able to resolve my tax problem and receive peace of mind.

I owe IRS $30,000 and state $10,000. What made it even worst is my hours where cut due to Covid. The staff at legal tax defense understood my problems. There tax agent walked me through the whole process That it will take about 8 months to a year before they settle with IRS. Through out this whole process I had a case manager who kept in touch with me every week or every other week to inform me of my case. They were able to settle both federal and state tax for $4,000 and they help me set up payments plans with them. I'm so happy with that I reached out to them, now I have peace of mind.

FTB place a bank levy for over $18k. I contacted Legal Tax Defense from a number on a billboard off 10fwy with some skepticism. Michael at Tax Defense took my call, ask a few questions and immediately began to on my case. Mind you this is without charging me at first. Along with their attorney they did their due diligence came up with a strategy. Less than 2 weeks my money was released and I am very thankful for this. They were very efficient, responsive and results driven. As a REALTOR, I now have someone whom I can truly call a business partner and will gladly refer clients with Tax issues to them.

The Legal Tax Defense company did a great job all around. John was my case manager. He told me upfront precisely the way things would go with the IRS, and it DID happen just that way! He took care of my tax filing and got me my Offer In Compromise so that I could include one more tax year! I was kept informed along the way, and he made sure everything was going well. I had confidence that the people at Legal Tax Defense had done this all before. With the pandemic, the IRS took a VERY long time, but after a long wait, John and the Legal Tax Defense team were able to get my $110,000 debt settled for just over $1,000!

During the last 3 years I was looking for help in order to fix an issue with my taxes and I hired a lot of accountants that only took my money without doing anything for me. Thank God someone recommended me Legal Tax Defense and it was the best decision I could ever make. I am extremely grateful with Alberto Ornellas who was in charge of my case. He is an excellent professional, very responsible and qualified. Through an offer in compromise, Alberto could get me to pay only 2,000 dollars instead of the initial debt which was 75,000 dollars. I still can't believe it! I highly recommend The Legal Tax Defense and specially Alberto Ornellas.

I am a two-time success story for Legal Tax Defense . I owed $70,000 to IRS and had no way to pay it. The first time, these knowledgeable case managers/enrolled agents were able to qualify me for a special program that worked for 4 years. The second time, I knew I was in good hands with Matt Sitler, who upon evaluating my situation gave me my final strategy, offer and compromise. Matt worked with me during the pandemic, assigning me to Alberto Ornelas, my former case manager whom I trusted. my offer and compromise was finally accepted for $1565.00 and I have peace of mind again! thank Matt, Alberto, and the entire Legal Tax Defense team!

I was referred to Legal Tax Defense by a friend, to handle my delinquent tax debts that I have been neglecting since 2008. I've been avoiding dealing with the government since and have not filed any tax returns since 2008. I knew I was facing a great deal of problem when I initiated this contact. I spoke with a gentlemen name James, he was very prompt and honest with the whole process. My case was assigned to one their case manager Ms. Deis and another sweet gal, straightaway they got me current with my tax return filings, put a stopped to all IRS collections and settled my IRS debts that I am able to meet monthly.

I highly recommend Legal Tax Defense.

I have been a customer of the Legal Tax Defense since 2018. They were able to successfully negotiate a "Currently Not Collectible" tax status for me. I had never had a tax issue before and was extremely stressed over the amount I owed. The Legal Tax Defense has been taking care of my annual taxes since this time. They are always responsive, knowledgeable and helpful with all of my tax questions. I have worked with many members on their team, Neil *** Alberto *** and for the past couple years, Matt *** I am extremely satisfied with their representation and the quality of work. I am confident in all of the advice and work that they have completed on my behalf. Thank you!

I was very scared at first. I knew I needed to call Legal Tax Defense I hadn't filed my taxes in six years. They did a Discovery call or what they call a Tax Investigation for me. They were then able to get a collection hold and all the information they needed to file all those older years. After they filed I owed about twenty five thousand dollars I thought it was going to be a lot higher but then Legal Tax Defense was able to pull off a Partial Payment Installment agreement where I now only have to pay $50.00 a month to IRS because of my hardship situation. I will continue to recommend Legal Tax Defense to friends and family. These guys are the REAL DEAL HOLYFIELD packed a mean punch directly at IRS for me. Nice job thanks.

I am so grateful to have found Legal Tax Defense (before I filed my taxes). Their team, Ed, *** and Lili listened to understand my unique circumstances and made corrections on my return that better represented my situation. Case worker *** was on top of timely communications and follow-up (critical). Both her and Ed Figioli (my 1st contact with the company) were very understanding and professional. They took time to listen, offer guidance, go the extra mile to make sure everything was legally correct. Lili, the accountant who found errors that changed the outcome of what I owed, provided huge relief, especially during this extra stressful pandemic which puts everyone's financial support on notice. Thank you for being there!

Legal Tax Defense is a great company to do business with. I owed the IRS over $30,000 in taxes and didn't know what to do. I was watching tv and came across the Legal Tex Defense Company commercial. They said they could help lower tax debt with the IRS. I was curious, so I called to see if I qualified for their tax debt relief program. I'm so glad I did. Legal Tax Defense saved me over 25,000 dollars. The process was simple and easy. The staff was great, and they walked me through the whole process and answered all my questions and concerns. I want to thank Legal Tax Defense for giving me my tax-free life. I found this company to be very reputable, and they did what they said they would do. Thank you again, Legal Tax Defense company, for helping me.

My husband paid $3294 for them to not reduce my tax debt at all. The only thing they did for me is file three years of taxes which doesn't cost $3294. The only times they called me was for a payment we never spoke to the irs . But faithfully they were taking out there $150.02 every other week. At this moment we are waiting for the attorney Michael to cal us back which he was supposed to do before the weekend. To give us a refund of half of what we paid given that he said it costed $1500 to do our taxes for the three years. So now hopefully we get the call back with the refund. It's a shame I had to call to act like a new customer to get to this point. And at that I found out all that the company was supposed to do for us but didn't thanks to a church man named Christopher. He started out in disbelief about his company but still tried to keep us as customers after giving us a second call. We would like a refund...
