Excellent work with the IRS!
Erica is a top notch professional. We worked with her for 5 years on multiple tax year issues. She handled all communications with the IRS and clearly laid out all the different options available. The bottom line is our collection is cleared and it cost a small fraction of what it might have without her help. I would hire Erica again immediately for tax help!

1095C Penalty
We received a significant 1095C penalty from the IRS for failure to file the health insurance forms for 2017, which is purely an informational filing. NO tax was due. Still the IRS would not budge on the penalty until we Erica stepped in and helped us with an appeal that ultimately resulted in a full and complete abatement of the penalty. I would highly recommend Erica and her expertise.

Great Lawyer!

Erica was patient, thorough and made sure my situation was taken care of! It was something I could not have dealt with on my own, and she was able to lay out a plan and walk through the process and take care of all the heavy lifting. Forever grateful for her help and highly recommend the Pless Law firm!

Should have hired her sooner

I had been attempting to deal with the IRS on my own for a few years while the liens and threats of garnishments increased. In our initial meeting, Erica laid out what could possibly be done along with worst case scenarios. After hiring her, the burden and stress of communication with the IRS was lifted and the outcome was better than hoped for.

Erica Pless, simply the best
Before hiring Erica Pless I had been on my own trying to wade the through the swamp of garnishment threats, claims and liens by the IRS that was well into six figures and reached back many years . I will add that during that time I did have two short lived bad tax attorney experiences that made me wary and uncertain about hiring another attorney. However, I almost immediately felt comfortable and confident at my first meeting with Erica Pless. And my first impressions turned out to be spot on. Erica listens and shows understanding. She is diligent and caring about her work product. Her counsel is straightforward and honest. And she has a great deal of self pride which fuels her excellent performance and willingness to do whatever is required in her client's best interest. Erica never let up on my behalf and was able to negotiate an Offer In Compromise settlement that was beyond my most optimistic expectations. And today I received the full lien release settling all debts with IRS completely and with finality. Erica as I said in the title is simply the best. No need to look anywhere else. She took what had become a bridge too far for me and for which I could see only lien and garnishments ahead and through her dogged determination and ability to prepare substantial supporting documentation, accurately and timely file 433A, 433OIC and other required forms and negotiate with IRS agents protected my pension and social security for the future that I have. And for me turning 76 this weekend those years are precious. And now thanks to Erica Pless I will be free of IRS pressures and restrictions. If you are in need of tax help, Erica should be your first call. You won't need to make another. And let me add Erica's fees are fair and reasonable given the effort and integrity she gives her clients. Erica Pless is simply the best.

Thorough and kind
Erica took the time to discuss my status with a situation that I felt was hopeless. From the get-go she was on my side, asked great questions, and was very astute.

Excellent results and experience!!
I hired Erica to help me with a tax issue that I had with the IRS that had gone on for many years...at our initial meeting she clearly laid out the costs, timeframe and expectations of the entire process. Along the way we had frequent communications about the process and how the IRS would react to our offer....the results were even better than I ever expected!! Her professionalism and expertise in this area are outstanding....I highly recommend her for anyone needing help in this area!!

Lien lifted, installment plan renewed, and penalties reduced
After failed attempts to deal with the IRS on my own, Ms Pless helped me navigate the laws and processes in order to deal with several past years of tax problems that resulted in sizable penalties and a federal tax lien. She explained what needed to happen and did all the heavy lifting with the IRS, and after several months, everything was resolved. There is no magic bullet for tax bills; I had to get on a reasonable installment plan. However, her persistence at appeals greatly reduced some penalties and lowered the overall amounts due. I certainly could not have done it myself and could not be happier with the results. I highly recommend Erica Pless!

Excellent attorney
When our company got behind on our payroll tax payments we hired a firm recommended by our bank to work out a payment plan with the IRS. Their incompetence only made the situation worse. By the time we hired Erica we thought the situation was hopeless. It turned out she had worked with the agent assigned to us and he told me that it was good that he hired her when we did. She helped turn the situation around and though her efforts we were able to work out a plan that enabled us to get current. I hope I never need her services again but if I do I will not hesitate to hire her again. I have already recommended her to another company that was in a similar situation.

Erica's ability to communicate highly technical tax concepts in ways that are understandable to any audience is impressive, which is likely why she's literally "written the book" on several income and estate tax issues. I'm happy to endorse Erica.
