A steady share of my practice is repair work: people who paid a sales floor thousands for a program nobody diagnosed, watched deadlines burn that carried real rights, and arrived here with less money and fewer options than they started with. None of them were foolish. They were uninformed buyers in a market built to exploit exactly that - outcome promises before facts, fees before diagnosis, and credentials nobody could verify because nobody knew to check.
The fix is buyer knowledge, so this site gives it away: when you genuinely need an attorney and when you do not, what the work costs and what drives the price, the five questions that expose a script-reader in one phone call, and the ten-minute verification habit - license, Form 2848, transcripts - that makes the whole scam economy unworkable. Run every check in this guide on anyone you consider hiring. Run them on me.
Credentials, verifiable tonight: licensed in Florida, Colorado, and Texas; admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court; principal office in Tampa, Florida. The IRS is federal, so representation works in all 50 states. The consultation is free, privileged from the first minute, and answers every question in the guide - including the one that ends with "you don't need to hire anyone."
