I can breathe easy again because of the intervention of the Defense Group Team.

They helped me from the beginning to the end, to relax, to be hopeful about resolution to my dilemma, and to be at peace about an unforeseeable way to my problem. Defense Group did not talk down to me or ever speak to me harshly, or in a unprofessional manner. This whole experience was made so pleasant for me. Although I owed a lot of money, I trusted them to help me, and they did just that. I am thankful and so grateful, and I can say, that I have this piece of my life back. Thanks so much to the Defense Group for the work they put into my case, for making it possible for me to breathe again, and to not dread it every time the phone would ring. Trust the Defense Group Team to help you. I did and it worked in my favor!

Great company to do business with.

I owed the IRS over $30,000 in taxes and didn't know what to do. I was watching tv and came across Defense Tax Group commercial. They said they could help lower tax debt with the IRS. I was curious, so I called to see if I would qualified for their tax debt relief program. I'm. so glad I did. Defense Tax Group saved me over $25,000 dollars. The process was simple and easy. The staff was great and they walked me through the whole process and anwered all of my questions and concerns. I want to thank Defense Tax Group for giving me my life back. I found this company to be very reputable and they did what they said they would do. Thanks you again Defense Tax Group for helping me.

they saved me thousands of dollars

I owed 27,000 in back taxes and they got it down to 2,500 which I have paid off. Defense Tax Group charged me a very reasonable fee and worked with me when I had trouble making my payment. Defense people such as Sarah Figueroa and Diana Barillas could not have been nicer. They answered all my many questions. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is having trouble with the IRS.

Debt reduced by 70%

I was very satisfied with the end result. Defense tax group was very diligent through the entire process as the initial offer in compromise was denied, but in the end saved approximately $27,000

It was a pleasure to have helped reduce your tax liability. Please remember that you must stay compliant with the IRS for the next 5 years or they will default your offer.

Big city institution....small town vibe!

The Defense Tax Group actually cares. It is a big city institution with a small town vibe. They took the time to listen to my situation and helped me understand all aspects and then helped me with the best solution for my specific situation.

I ultimately had to ask them to do something that was specifically denied in the contract. Once I asked Chris, the office manager, he responded, "We don't typically do that but we aren't in the business of taking advantage of people." Then he granted my request.

Everyone: Amber Fraley (my account manager) Diana Barillas (my case manager) Frank Bridges and a few others all played a specific role and handled it extremely professionally. Let's face it, dealing with taxes is never fun and if you are at the point that you need their services well..... Let's just say it's not a walk in the park. Hopefully I've learned my lesson and I never have to deal with them again BUT if i DO find myself in tax trouble again I would most definitely go straight to Defense Tax Group. They were patient and persistent to say the least!
Thanks Defense Tax Group!

You can trust Defense Tax Group

There have been dishonest companies that make promises to help you with your tax troubles. I know, I was taken for over one thousand dollars by one of these companies. My state sued in a class action suit and nothing was ever reclaimed. So, you can imagine my hesitation to try this again. Well let me tell you that Defense Tax Group is the real deal. They are professional in every way and in every detail. You can be assured that when you hire them the job at hand will be done. Simply the best at what they do.

The statement that you made is very true. There are plenty of companies out there that make fraudulent claims and can't live up to what they promise. This is exactly why we ask people to do as much research on a company before hiring them because we don't want them to be taken for any of their hard earn money. It was a pleasure for us to help you settle your debt for just $500 on the whopping $18,000 that you owed. We are proud to be able to provide the services that we promise and get the type of results that we do thanks to our amazing attorneys,CPAs,case workers and everyone else on our staff. Tell anyone you know in a similar circumstance that we will be glad to help them too.

Gary we were happy to have assisted you in your battle with the IRS. We hope that the $500 that you paid back to them was worth the $12,000 that they initially were claiming you owed. Please keep us in mind if you run into anyone who needs tax help.

Bank Levy due to Back Taxes

I was hit with a bank levy by the IRS completely unexpectedly back in early February of this year for some back taxes my parents forgot to file in 2006-2007. The IRS took $10,000 from my personal bank account that had my mother's name as a cosigner. In a panic, I signed an agreement with the first legal tax solution company I found through a simple Google search, and they totally took advantage of my situation and I found out the hard way later on when they started hitting me with all these previously undisclosed fees, and on top of that they were extremely unprofessional and lack competency. I quickly cut my losses and after some more careful research I found Defense Tax Group, who charged me a flat and very reasonable fee to not only get the levied fund back from the IRS, but also helped us resolve the overdue taxes. The process was grueling largely due to the IRS's incompetency and unwillingness to corporate, as they tried tooth and nail to disprove black & white evidences that clearly show the money belonged to me. But in the end, after almost seven months of back and forth, Defense Tax Group was able to return what was rightfully mine, and I couldn't thank them enough for helping our family through this ordeal.

Thank you for the positive comments Bobby. We are just as happy as you are to have retrieved your funds and assist your parents with resolving their issue completely. Your case was a difficult one but your attorney was great at over coming all the obstacles that the IRS threw at us. With his amazing efforts we were able to get your $10,000 back and got your parents on a payment plan that is within their budget. It was a pleasure for us to have helped.
