I scheduled a meeting with TD and Joe very promptly set up a call. I explained my circumstances to which he guided me through my options and advised me what my next steps would be. Although, I didn’t actually need to hire them for my issues, he took the time to still chat with me and counsel me on the best way to handle my issue. He was so kind and genuine, even though ultimately I wouldn’t be in need of their services. I’d trust these guys wholeheartedly if any other tax issues ever arose. They know what they’re doing and even better, they care (:

My name is Joan S. and My experience with the Tax Defenders was a good experience. The staff and Attorney Hanley were friendly and professional. Attorney Hanley answered all my questions and also gave good sound advice regarding my situation. I would highly recommend The Tax Defenders to anyone.

Kelly and Samantha have done an amazing job resolving a tax issue I had. Kelly has answered more than one text message while on vacation. Both have never hesitated to answer questions and help in anyway possible. When it comes to customer service they are second to none. I would never hesitate to highly recommend this firm to resolve your tax or IRS issues.

We contacted TDD as a last resort based on their reputation. It is well-earned. The firm’s expertise and guidance in tax law are equaled only by a deep understanding of how the IRS operates. They quickly assembled a team consisting of Kelly Hanley, Samantha DePrima, Anita Garbutt, and Andres Santaolalla, rapidly unpacked and assessed our situation, proposed a strategy, and were quick to execute it. The team's agility and adaptability were noteworthy throughout the process. They answered our questions, routinely made the unintelligible understandable, and were unfailingly quick to respond with speed and efficiency. What truly sets TDD apart is that their professionalism is coupled with a genuine sense of courtesy and consideration. Each interaction, whether it was a detailed consultation or a brief update, was conducted with respect and empathy. It was evident that they valued us not just as clients, but as individuals. Their success in resolving a tax issue nobody else could is a testament to their skill, dedication, and concern for their clients. Consequently, we have entrusted them with our ongoing tax filings. I unhesitatingly recommend TDD's services to anyone seeking expert counsel in any area of tax law.

I called this business and got a response within five minutes from an attorney. Kelly Hanley was great to talk to you as she knew exactly how to tackle my problem and what was going on. Price was reasonable. I am keeping her number on file should the state need to be reminded of their laws. I highly recommend working with them for any of your tax issues.

This is the worst for you to solve your problems with the IRS since you start the case with them You start talking to a person and then it turns out that person is no longer there and has resigned. They take too long to call you back, they don't help you with your case, please look somewhere else.Si

I also discovered the Tax Defenders while randomly searching Google for some legal guidance regarding a previously filed tax return. I received a phone call from Joe within a few hours, which I greatly appreciated since these are the sort of issues that you want to take care of sooner rather than later. Joe was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, patient, and did not sugar coat the reality of the tax world (which is something I very much appreciate because it's a world that is quite foreign to me). I hung up having a clearer picture of what my legal rights are, what to expect moving forward, and truly felt like I had an ally that I could reach out to if there were any future questions or issues. In the financial world, I’ve found it very rare to be able to converse with someone in an engaging manner, where you feel like your needs are adequately met with compassion and empathy from the get-go. There were no fancy financial terms thrown around, and I never got the sense that Joe was trying to overly-explain anything to me. I’m very grateful to have randomly stumbled upon this firm, and could not recommend them more highly. Thank you!

I found the Tax Defenders while making a random Google search for specific tax help, and was drawn to the this group because of several reasons: 1. They're veteran-owned 2. They're rated highly by the Better Business Bureau It was super easy to reach someone live -- I just hit the button and was connected immediately to a live person who gave me next step instructions on how to proceed. The lawyer contacted me at the time set, which I really appreciate, because my schedule is busy and it was nice to be able to set a time and discuss my situation. Kelly was responsive, open and candid about my options. She educated me on the entire tax world (which is foreign to me) and helped me to clearly see what my next steps could be. She provided clear follow-up recommendations and then followed thru with her promises. I really appreciated the prompt, very straight-forward way the entire process unfolded. When problems arose, I was able to communicate these issues to Kelly and did not feel belittled or that I was somehow the problem. She approached the issues with empathy and I really felt like she was on my team, trying to help me find the best way out of the mess. I think it's rare to find such kindness and sense of advocacy especially from someone I've just met over the phone, but that's exactly how I felt from my interactions with this company. I'm thankful that I was able to find this group when I did, and for what it's worth, I highly recommend this business to anyone seeking advice with their taxes.

I had been dealing with Optima Tax Relief previous for almost 3 years with no results other than a settlement that would cost me $30,000 even though I am on a fixed income and am a small business owner with minimal resources. I went to Tax Defenders and received outstanding service and constant contact with a tax pro and less than 6 months later I received a settlement with IRS where I would owe $0! I was more than relieved. Tax Defenders always took my calls and explained the process and where we were. They were always available unlike Optima where it would take days for someone to return my call. I highly recommend Tax Defenders if you are having IRS problems. I am also going to use them to prepare my taxes!

We had a minor discrepancy with a tax return from 2020 and were absolutely lost in where to go after incompetence from our CPA. We decided to reach out to the Tax Defenders (Kelly!) and they were immensely helpful - they immediately returned our call, offered an action plan and suggested next steps (and a reasonable fee to help deal with the IRS). While we ended up getting it sorted thru our CPA, we can't say enough about the Tax Defenders. We were never charged for their time and they handled our questions with honesty and openness. Thanks to Kelly and team for walking us back from the mental ledge - we are so grateful we found you!
