I contacted Bob about a scam cryptocurrency issue and he gave me solid, honest advice on how to file my past due tax returns. I appreciated the 45 minutes he spent with me even though I was not an active client. I will not hesitate to use him in the future as well as refer people I know to him. Thank you Bob.

Provided an initial consultation at a depth that a regular attorney would probably charge hundreds for in an appointment. Offered a written summary of points and strategies covered in consultation. Encourages people to reach out directly to tax agencies and work something out if their overall balance due is not high enough to justify high legal fees.
