I didn’t hire them but my brother did. He said the process dragged on longer than expected but in the end he got relief from constant IRS calls.

A neighbor of mine had a really positive outcome with a local tax attorney. She said it was worth paying a little extra because she trusted the one on one relationship.

My experience was not great. I felt like they kept giving me vague updates without real progress. After six months all i had was a payment plan that i could have gotten by calling the IRS myself.

I had a free consultation with them. The agent was nice but very salesy which put me off. I didn’t end up hiring them and just worked directly with the IRS instead.

I had a tax lien and reached out to them for help. The process was slow and dragged out but they eventually got it lifted. It was stressful waiting, but I don’t think I could’ve done it myself. For that reason i was glad to have their support.

One thing to keep in mind these tax relief companies often just act as middlemen. They use the same IRS programs available to the public. Unless you have no time or patience I’d try handling it yourself.
