Testimonials

A Review of Tim's Services

"Due to some very poor choices of my own, I found myself in need of legal help with a huge tax debt to the IRS. I did exhaustive research on line looking for a tax attorney to help me set up an installment plan and work with the IRS on my behalf. Like most people, I was somewhat hesitant to trust reviews or to believe that there was someone out there who would actually be able to help me. I was desperate. I was facing a hefty burden and a potentially hefty monthly payment along with the threats of bank and wage levies. It was a debilitating fear. I read many positive reviews about Timothy S. Hart, Tax Attorney, and I took the chance on him. He is everything and more than what his reviews say about him. He listened to me with no judgement. He was incredibly responsive. He was patient. He advised and he followed through with everything I was hoping for. He was able to set up a reasonable payment plan with the IRS within one phone call with them. For the first time, in many years, I can live without fear. I am so grateful that I followed my gut and reached out to him. If anyone I know ever finds themselves in a position where they need tax advice and help, there is no one I would refer to them to other than Tim Hart. I am so incredibly grateful."
