I have known Izella Lui for a half dozen years. We went to NTPI classes together. I helped your as she got into the resolution business by reviewing her client resolution path. She is a very hard worker and has amazing client skills. Not only is she very knowledgeable but she cares about her clients. Her determination to learn all that is necessary to practice in the field of Tax Resolution is second to none.

I can’t recommend Izella highly enough.
I was hit with a terrifying letter from the IRS claiming I owed an outrageous amount of money—just days before I was scheduled to leave the country for an extended international trip. I reached out to her on a Friday afternoon, and she made time to meet with me the very next morning—on a Saturday.
From our first conversation, Izella was understanding and clear. She immediately laid out the steps we needed to take and wasted no time getting to work. She collected all the necessary information quickly and kept me informed at every stage of the process—always explaining what she was doing and why. Communication was seamless, and I always felt I could reach out to her directly with questions or concerns.
Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I ended up paying only about 5% of what the IRS had originally demanded. Her work quite literally saved me from a financial nightmare.
Beyond her professionalism, Izella is genuinely compassionate and deeply committed to her clients, and if I ever have another issue with the IRS, she will be the first and only person I will call.
Thank you, Izella, for your incredible support and for turning a stressful situation into a manageable one. You’re a lifesaver!

" Thank you so much for this heartfelt review!

It truly means the world to me that you took the time to share your experience. I remember how urgent your situation was, and I’m so glad we were able to step in quickly and get the results you deserved. Knowing that you felt supported and informed every step of the way is exactly what I strive for with every client.

Helping people find peace of mind — especially when facing something as stressful as an IRS notice — is why I do what I do. Thank you again for your trust and kind words. I’m always here if you ever need guidance or just want to make sure everything’s on track. Safe travels and take care!"
