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 called almost a year ago and spoke with Kelly about my mother in law, who owed a very substantial amount of money to the irs. We were so stressed out and were already considering taking a mortgage out on her house to pay off the taxes. I had already spoken to multiple different “tax guys” who offered a quick fix and made promises that I instinctively knew were unrealistic.
Kelly put my mind at ease immediately. I am not a lawyer, but my gut told me that she was offering prudent legal advice and wasn’t trying to sell me anything. I won’t get into the details, but the tax defenders saved us more than ten times what their fee was.
The result was better than what they promised and exceeded what we could have hoped for. I’m sitting here today in disbelief that our problem is over. During the entire process they kept us up to date and were always available to speak with us by phone.
There was a time that Kelly was out sick and her husband, who is also an attorney, called us back and dealt with the question we had. If you have a tax issue, you would be wise to consider this company. We will be forever grateful for the outcome that they achieved on our case. Special thanks to Kylie and Kelly!

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.
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.
