Customer Reviews for Stephen K. Galgoczy

Stephen Galgoczy partner David Feldman's attention to detail is above bar. His strategic angle with the tax resolution process provides clients such as myself an ease of knowing the right person was chosen to navigate the overwhelming and cumbersome waters of the process. Thanks David!

Stephen’s team resolved a very large and long time tax liability. After many attempts at payment plans and other self attempts with the IRS, the accumulating interest and penalties were overwhelming. Great job and thank you.

Out of all of the tax relief companies that exist, I chose Fortress Tax Relief because of their exceptional rating on the Better Business Bureau. The folks here were able to negotiate with the IRS to set up monthly payments I could afford. Almost a year after I hired them, I decided to sell my home and pay off the tax debts that I was facing all at once. Fortress Tax Relief stuck with me throughout the entire process, until I had every bit of back taxes and accrued interest paid off. What I appreciate most of all is that I never felt alone during this whole process. I especially appreciate Karlin, who was my rock the entire time. She always had my back, and I am so very, very thankful to be where I am right now.

There are not enough good adjectives that we can use to describe the Professional experience we received from Fortress. Getting that letter from the IRS can be very scary but do not get scared just call Fortress and go on with your life while they negotiate the best deal for you. Call today

For years, I carried the heavy burden of tax debt, convinced that working harder would eventually get me back on track. But despite my best efforts, I kept falling deeper into a cycle of penalties, compounding interest, and mounting stress. In my search for real help, I eventually found Stephen's team at Fortress Tax Relief—a firm that immediately stood out because they assign licensed attorneys, not clerks or call center staff, to handle cases. That distinction would prove to be critical. But before I made the decision to work with Fortress, I made the unfortunate mistake of hiring another company that seemed reputable at the time. That company promised to pursue an Offer in Compromise but never followed through. Instead, they simply duplicated steps I had already taken on my own—like securing “currently not collectible” status. While they handled my tax filings, they missed key deductions, frequently closed my case without warning, and shuffled me between more than a dozen reps. Each time, I had to start over—and pay again. I later learned I wasn’t alone in this experience. To make things worse, I was even belittled by their staff, despite doing everything I could to stay compliant. Eventually, I turned to Fortress Tax Relief, and this time, I got the support I needed. David Petzinger and his team were professional, honest, and confident. They carefully reviewed my case and were certain I qualified for a settlement—and they were right. Although the process was delayed due to IRS staffing issues, Fortress stayed committed throughout. After multiple IRS reviews, I finally received the letter I had hoped for: my Offer in Compromise was approved. If you’re facing tax debt you genuinely can’t pay, I highly recommend Fortress Tax Relief. They deliver results—and they treat you with the respect you deserve.
