Every Client is Unique
Every person we help is unique and has his or her own set of goals and problems, but all of our clients have one thing in common. They are facing a complex IRS or Debt problem that threatens their property, peace of mind and even their good names.
Analysis is Key to a Long Term Solution
It is important as a result to review IRS history, financial situation and goals in order to know what the best legal solution(s) will be. This analysis begins when you and our tax lawyers discuss the problem over the phone for free. It continues when we meet in our Mesa Arizona office to review problems, solutions and partial documents and is complete when we review IRS documents and client documents in greater depth.
WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT
Straightforward Advice
Our tax lawyers are direct when advising clients. Clients aren't told what they "want" to hear so that we can sell more legal services. Instead, we analyze and provide a "plan" that will result in a real solution. Sometimes, we find that the client doesn't require our help to implement that plan. That is fine with us. Finding the best solution for our client is the priority.
Personal and Detailed Representation
Every situation and each person that our Mesa Arizona law firm deal with are unique. Details can make or break a case. As a result, we make sure we know the facts of our client's case and his or her goals. We know how the law will apply to both. This isn't "cookie cutter" law. Our clients have direct contact to Michael Anderson and he knows them individually.
We Don't Take Most Cases Unless We Can Save Clients Significant Money
We don't typically take a case unless we think we can save a client significant money. We don't take clients who aren't prepared to provide lots of facts and documents so that we can make this happen. We want to help those who are ready to create a serious plan, follow it and get rid of as much tax and other debt as possible.
We Provide Coaching
Some tax clients cannot find a way to pay a legal fee and some have simpler situations. We provide coaching sessions to help these people. After an initial phone discussion, and an in person meeting is concluded, a client may decide that they want to have us review the facts in more depth with them and discuss and explain options in a way that will help them handle the case themselves.
Flat Fees and Payment Plans
Our representation is typically paid for via a flat fee arrangement. You can review our basic fee menu by clicking here. We have found that people prefer a flat fee instead of an open-end hourly arrangement. Flat fees come with no surprises. We also offer payment plans.
This is a Law Firm
Serious tax and debt problems deserve the attention of an attorney. Attorneys are trained in the law. These types of problems are legal matters. There are legal rights and issues at stake. Attorneys are regulated by their local State Bar and we find that the vast majority of Attorneys are honest and want the best for their client. We know we do.
We Are Local
Sure we can handle the entire case by phone, fax and email and sometimes we do if that is what the client wants. It is important though that you are dealing with someone who is willing to look you in the eye and shake your hand.
We are experienced
We have helped thousands of people since 1996 deal with serious issues. We have saved clients literally tens of millions of dollars in tax and other debt.
WHAT TO DO NOW
Contact Us
Go to the upper right of the website and click on the link. Make an appointment to speak with the us over the phone. We will spend 10-15 minutes asking questions and listening to the problem in order to determine if we can help and whether you should come in for the rest of the free consultation.
Gather Documents
Start to gather paystubs, bank account statements, bills, IRS correspondence and other financial information. Sit down with paper and a sharp pencil and get fully acquainted with your income, tax withholding, budget, asset and debt situation. We will need to understand it as well. It may be key to saving lots of money.
