Advised on Unpaid Taxes, Tax Lien | Jan 15, 2025
Years ago, I reached out to Mr. Ward when faced with troubling communication received from the IRS regarding a federal tax lien. Mr. Ward quickly laid out a plan and the IRS released its tax lien. Now, several years later, I continue to rely on Mr. Ward for tax return preparation and tax advice. If you, or someone you know, is facing an IRS issue such as a tax lien or you simply need tax advice, I recommend Mr. Ward. He is both a CPA and attorney with the experience, knowledge and ability to implement a plan. Mr. Ward's services were, and still are, of great benefit to me and my family.

I contacted Mr. Ward, who is both a CPA and an attorney, for help with an old tax bill with IRS stemming from a flawed audit. Mr. Ward filed an offer in compromise with IRS. As a result, IRS not only cancelled my liability but issued my wife and I a refund! My wife and I were very pleasantly surprised by this result. It has made a very positive difference for us. Mr. Ward listens well and thinks creatively. I highly recommend that anyone with tax issues engage and retain Mr. Ward. Five stars for sure
