"…I am still astonished with the incredible settlement that Mr. Freeman reached with the IRS. I work as a realtor, and have severe health issues. I didn't file tax returns for many years, and owed approximately $423,000.00 to the IRS. Mr. Freeman settled my tax debts through an Offer in Compromise for $500.00. This has changed my life, and allowed me to focus on my health and rebuilding my career."

"…I am a Medical Doctor, who was prosecuted for healthcare fraud. Although, I was found not guilty, the IRS pursued me criminally for payroll tax evasion. Mr. Freeman's knowledge of the law, attention to detail, compassion, and negotiating skills stopped the criminal investigation. Thankfully, due to his efforts my life has resumed."

"I own and operated a family business for over thirty years. In the early 1990s I was advised by an asset protection attorney to establish an offshore structure to protect my wealth and minimize tax. Although the advice seemed credible at the time, I had unknowingly set up an illegal offshore leasing company that violated IRS laws. I received notices from the IRS that they were aware of this structure and that it had not been properly reported. Further, I had the possibility of facing criminal responsibility for this error. Mr. Freeman's expertise enabled me to take advantage of a voluntary disclosure program, restructured my offshore business activity, reduced significant civil penalties, and helped me to avoid criminal prosecution."

"My now ex-husband was a hedge fund manager, with a now defunct hedge fund. I came home to find an IRS revenue agent at my door. After she politely made her introduction, I asked why she was at my home. She informed that my now ex-husband and I, owed approximately $1.2 million in tax debt. Not only was I shocked at the amount, but I was devastated that my husband had been deceitful. Mr. Freeman filed an innocent spouse claim on my behalf, and I was able to walk away from this liability that I was truly unaware had existed. This was a traumatic time, and Mr. Freeman and his staff empathetically resolved this matter."

"My husband is a chiropractor, and I work in his office as a part time receptionist. After the decline in the auto industry, my husband's business began to suffer because patients no longer had health insurance. In an effort to survive my husband stopped paying payroll taxes for his employees. Eventually the IRS assigned a collection officer to the business's account. They came after my husband and me personally for this corporate liability. I was merely a clerical employee and never signed checks, authorized payroll, or had any control over the finances of this business. However, I did have signatory authority on the bank account, but rarely if ever signed checks. The Law Offices of Jeffrey Freeman successfully argued that I was not a responsible party with regard to payment of the payroll taxes, and the IRS was unable to attach this liability to me personally, which allowed me to save my home, and the majority of our assets which were in my name."

"I am a real estate developer, who was hit hard by the poor economy. Over the past few years I had accumulated several hundred thousand dollars in debt and liabilities. After refinancing efforts were unsuccessful I realized I had no other alternative but to file for bankruptcy. The first bankruptcy attorney that I consulted advised me that my personal tax liabilities were not dischargeable. This advice was inaccurate, and I am fortunate that I found the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Freeman to assist me with my bankruptcy. Through this, I was able to eliminate my credit card debt and discharge my state and federal personal tax debts. This allowed me to have the fresh start that I desperately needed."

"I am an International Business woman, who resides in New York City. I was recently audited with several undisclosed offshore bank accounts based in Hong Kong and London. The fear of the audit kept me awake at night. I was scared for the large amounts of money I might owe, or the possibility that I might go to jail. Mr. Freeman successfully handled this audit, and was able to alleviate my fears with his practical and compassionate guidance. He handled my audit with professionalism and knowledge, that was unmatched by other attorneys that I had consulted prior to retaining his firm. Thanks to Mr. Freeman and associates I saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential penalties."

"I am a trustee of a substantial trust, of which my siblings and I are beneficiaries. After the death of my father, I was faced with the unfortunate task of having to declare my mother incompetent due to Alzheimer's disease. Following this, family discord arose with regards to the distribution of trust assets, and allegations that I was breaching my fiduciary duty. Mr. Freeman and his associates were successful in resolving the trust dispute through mediation, avoiding costly litigation which would have eaten away at the corpus of the trust. Further, Mr. Freeman saved my mother over a million dollars in estate taxes through gift planning and setting up a private foundation. Even through highly emotional situations, Mr. Freeman and his associates had a practical and effective approach to resolving our family's issues."
