I hired Wall & Associates in 2010 to help me deal with a tax lien. I was desperate and had no luck trying to deal with the IRS myself. I paid Wall & Associates $400 a month for 6 years - that's $24,000, then $300 a month for another year ($3,600). The reason the monthly fee was reduced was because they screwed up and missed a deadline, causing the last offer in compromise to be tossed out by the IRS and it had to be refiled so I requested a decrease in their fees. They act like they're doing something for you but months (and years) can go by and they're doing nothing, not even talking to the IRS. When they submitted the offers to the IRS (apparently they only made 3 attempts in 7 years) the information sent to the IRS was sparse, inaccurate and ultimately rejected by the IRS. They gave me advice on how to have the next offer accepted. I did all of those things (and more) and still they could not get a compromise approved by the IRS. This spring I reached a level of frustration because they couldn't get any action from the IRS and I needed a decision because I could FINALLY refinance a house and pay the tax lien. The offer had been submitted in December 2016 and the IRS was still kicking it around in June 2017. They have zero influence there. So after 7 years I'm out about $27,000. My tax bill was only $29,000 so by this time I could have paid the IRS off at $400 a month. Here's the real kicker. After paying $27,000 to Wall, my tax bill (with interest and penalties) is now up to $45,000. Those delays from both Wall and the IRS added up. So, I'm out $72,000 over what was a $29,000 tax bill. When I terminated my relationship with them I asked how they would compensate me for this total waste of money - no response. Customer Service never called back. I contacted the Better Business Bureau, they were unable to help. If Wall & Associates didn't think they could help me, they shouldn't have accepted me as a client. I called my Senator's office for help with the IRS and they flat out told me I should have called them for help earlier and these types of companies just rip you off. They sure did. I would not recommend their services to anyone. You need help with the IRS? Call your Senator's office. They'll help for free. 9/25/17 UPDATE: my bill right now from the IRS is $45K so there is NO WAY it was $44K in 2010 or even 2011. Serious misinformation from Wall & Associates - maybe that's why they couldn't reach a settlement with the IRS for me.

I feel this business is honestly running a scam. I contacted walls and associates to handle my tax problems. In the initial consultation I made it aware to this company that I was in chapter 13 bankruptcy. I also let them know in the paper work I sent them and in the first conference call we had. 3 months passed and then I received a call from them staying they could not work my case because I was in bankruptcy. This is after they had taken a down payment of $2500. They refused to make a refund stating they had already done too much work. This does not make sense at all. Why not tell me up front. Why take the money and then tell me this

Wall and associates promise too much and don't do Nothing . We went to their office here in Vegas in June 9 2017 . This day was a Friday and we did their paper work and we gave our bank info so that they can start the process. They withdrawal 3000 dlls from our account the following Monday June 12 2017 . On Tuesday a day after they took the money they told us they couldn't arrange anything with the IRS because we already had made an agreement with them . So we got in contact with the IRS and we did our on thing and we call Wall and Associates and told them that Tuesday to cancel everything that we were going to take care of it ourselves. They gave me the runaround. They took their time to return my phone calls and today July 17 2017 they call me and told me that they are willing to give me $125.00 back from 3000.00 that they Stole from us. This people will still from you too . Don't trust them plus if you look them up they have really bad reviews. 7-15- 2017 I just got a email from this people saying they don't recognize me as a client . Seriously this is insane. I don't know how they are still open they should be closed. They said they have 30 yrs of experience but it their actions don't show it they said to contact their office what for they are incompetent and unprofessional.

I hope that anyone who ever considers hiring this company reads this first. THIS COMPANY AND EVERYONE IN IT IS FRAUDULENT AND NEGLIGENT!!! DO NOT HIRE THEM!! If you owe the IRS money you're better off calling them directly and getting set up on a payment plan. I personally paid wall and associates a total of $7600 which ironically is what I ended up owing the IRS. This firm would have probably continued taking my money indefinitely but when I realized that I had paid them as much as I actually owed the IRS I terminated their services. When I started working with the irs directly I was told that wall and associates literally had done next to nothing regarding my case over the 2 years that I had paid for their services. When I demanded my money back I was of course told that I would not be getting a refund because of time that they spent on my case. Nearly $8000 for 30 minutes of work. Hiring an attorney is basically useless and they count on this. A civil suit is very costly and time consuming and since the company doesn't guarantee you anything you can't get your money back. Even if they do absolutely nothing for you. It's highway robbery and it should be illegal. Luckily there are other options. I am currently working with some agencies in Virginia including the Better Business Bureau. I would like to extend my sincere regrets and condolences to anyone else who has been a victim of this firms scandalous and fradulent practices, which appear to be many. I am currently organizing a route to uncover these practices and expose this firm for exactly what they are. My name is Thomas Daniel Holland and I can be reached at (404)823-0137. Anyone who is considering hiring this firm, you've been warned. But you're welcome to call me for further info. Anyone who has previously experienced the fraud that I have, I would greatly appreciate your call so that we can organize.

We hired this company on the 8th of the month and paid a hefty $2500 fee in the last weeks we have not gotten anywhere and every time we call to discuss the case another person we are told is handling the case. Melissa who was assigned to our case just called us to perform a conference call (3weeks after our initial) set up and petition for services. The 800 number and customer service information provided for 24/7 inquiries about your case does not work and is a recording which no one returns your call. We have been completely dooped by this company as nothing has been done and now they want to charge us an additional $400 per month to continue to work our case. There are other tax attorneys out there that will do better quicker and now that we know they will also do so before collecting from you. DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST. We will be demanding our money back as NOTHING has been done for our tax situation. This company should be ashamed and we will be filing a BBB complaint. After posting our complaint a representative called us on a Saturday She stated she wanted to check in with us to see if everything was ok. On a Saturday? Oh wait it was because of the rewivew. Fast forward to Monday and representatives are in the defense- and to make matters worse, nothing has been done with the IRS. However, we were now being told we should set up a direct debit out of account and so that we can later stop the debit and settle the account. How stupid does that sound? Who would consider allowing the IRS to debit your account and demand that they cease to do so later. On Monday 6/26 We inquired with the IRS- which of course they ask you not to do ( because they too aren't doing so) and NOTHING had been done. Surprisingly, the information they claimed they were able to retrieve was available by automated system via IRS. To make matters worse someone from the accounting department called and stated they needed an updated address - what? We only gave our current address and that was on file. Another stall tactic and scheme. It just keeps going and this is suppose to be a legal team. K Shanklin

NOT trustworthy at al!! AARON DAMASK is nothing but a snake, that will try to take advantage of you. I had my consultation and spoke with him for about an hour and a half. I had never worked with an attorney before so it seemed like it went well to me. He spoke like a salesman and rarely looked me in the eye throughout the entire meeting. My FEE was suppose to be 10k upfront and 500/month... that makes NO SENSE. He then mentioned I go into my local bank and ask them to set me up with a CPA to file my taxes... Which also makes NO sense at all (what does my bank have to do with it?) He gave me a call a few days later and left a voicemail, kind of trying to scare me into signing the paperwork (The IRS can find you any moment, you have to call me now) Very Threatening. I would never recommend this place. I found instead Silver Tax Group and they're much more helpful. Please don't be fooled.

After owing Federal and Maryland State taxes for FY 2014 totaling ~38K, my wife and I decided to look into receiving qualified help to look at any available options in order to ease the burden of this immense amount. After a consultation with a Wall & Associates representative, we were told that we could have a significant reduction in the amount owed (~25k) by signing on with the firm. After some research and seeing no negative reports, we agreed. The initial hiring fee was 4K with a monthly amount of $500/month due while our case was being looked into. It turned out to be a huge mistake. After several months we were told that our options were limited due to the our income and debt ratios and that we would not qualify for any of the possible reduction plans available. The end results were nothing we couldn't have initially negotiated with the IRS and Maryland State ourselves. For the Federal taxes we ended up with a payment plan of 72 months and the IRS would drop the late penalty fees, which we would never have incurred anyways had we negotiated ourselves in the first place. For the Maryland State taxes, we had to take out a loan from our IRS savings in order to fulfill the exact amount we owed in the first place. Once again the late fees were dropped, but only after we called the firm to find out a status. This was rather troubling since we had to initiate the call only to realize we had one day left before the State's mandated due date. We also were instructed to make the payment in person. After waiting an hour to make the payment in person we found out that we could easily have made the payment on-line. So, we were misinformed about this procedure. The bottom line is that we spent $7,500 for Wall & Associates assistance, plus dozens of faxes and phone calls in order to save nothing rather get even further in debt. What makes it more frustrating is that my wife is retired and on a fixed income with the 401K money that was supposed to be utilized for helping our grandchildren through college, instead went to a law firm and essentially gone forever in the wind. My suggestion to the firm is to have better qualified sales representatives who actually have a clue about what tax savings plans may or may not help the customer instead of preying on already fiscally strapped families. The only saving grace for this review is that all contact with the firm was consistently professional and courteous, but for $7,500 one should expect more. Our hope is that someone will actually read this and learn from our mistake before they potentially reach out to what seems to be a greener pasture when it is actually mud. In the end we can only blame ourselves and limp away from the scam.
