Advised on Tax Penalties | Apr 22, 2024
Mr. Hopkins and his associates were extraordinarily helpful, knowledgeable, caring and put my mind to ease while resolving my case. Although my case was challenging and unique, Mr. Hopkins and his team did the legwork needed for a full resolution and reversal of fines. Thank you!

"Thanks Kim, It was a pleasure working with you. As we both saw in your circumstances, the IRS takes many months in some instances to process written Correspondence requests for penalty abatements. I am so glad we got the penalty 100% abated in you circumstance.

Advised on Unpaid Franchise Taxes | Feb 15, 2024
Ashton Hobluetzel did an outstanding job of servicing my account. I needed to revive
in a hurry a Texas LLC that had gone into termination for failure to file franchise tax forms
for the last three years. Mr. Hobluetzel was courteous, prompt and efficient in meeting my
needs in a timely manner. The company is now in good standing after only a few weeks of delay, in a
state that is notorious for holding up the processing, sometimes for months. To my thinking
Ashton is a credit to your organization. If I can believe that there are more of same under your roof, you are bound to be successful!
Many thanks,

Geoffrey T. Chalmers, Esq.
