I started working with Shelly Murad in 2008 and 14 years later we continue to work together to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients. Shelly is an excellent communicator and adept at discussing difficult tax issues effectively. She puts clients at ease by taking the time to explain the process and what to expect. I have always admired her calm professionalism and the high bar she sets for customer service.

Advised on Unpaid Taxes, Tax Lien, Tax Penalties, Trust Fund Recovery Penalty, Passport Issues | Nov 6, 2025
TDRG is comprised of professionals that are very knowledgeable of the IRS and state tax laws. They know how to address your problems and communicate your situation directly to the IRS. I had an issue where the liability exceeded $3M. TDRG stopped all levies, arranged for an uncollectible status, and continued to advise me over a period of several years. In the end, I ended up paying less than one third. It sounds like a lot until you think of the total amount due and what it would have done to me personally and to my business. I highly recommend reaching out to TDRG immediately if you have a tax problem. Waiting will not make the situation better.

Through Shelly Murad’s work, I am now free of a severe, multi-year IRS tax problem. Her services were professional, timely, extremely effective, very cost-reasonable, and always courteous. The saying is true – “The IRS is the most brutal collection agency on the face of the Earth.” I am extremely pleased with how Tax Defense Partners handled my case and with the many favorable outcomes they obtained for me. I highly recommend Shelly’s tax-defense services.
