What our clients say
Testimonials
“I met Jennifer when I was facing a myriad of issues from huge tax debts, including federal and state tax liens and passport revocation, and problems with my previous tax returns filed by an incompetent accountant. From the first meeting, she helped me understand the process and took the time to explain and kept me informed of every step. With her help, my tax debts were reduced by over $50,000, all the liens were removed, and my passport was restored. Through the entire process, Jennifer has been outstanding at helping me and my family.”
– Brian F., a senior journalist

Jennifer is extremely dedicated and sets high standards for her work. Even though my situation is quite complex, she handles it with great patience and a step-by-step approach, solving problems and offering help in a highly professional manner. …..
