Many taxpayers get their Offer in Compromise rejected or not even considered by the IRS simply because they received poor representation. There are many non-lawyers who advertise as tax resolution companies offering “pennies on the dollar” settlement. These non lawyers give taxpayers bad advice and cost them a lot of money. Make sure that you hire a competent tax lawyer. No one else can give you the proper legal advice to fully solve your tax problems.  If not, it could end up costing you more in the long run.
