I am an attorney in a different field of practice and I have clients with a variety of income tax needs. I need the tax information I receive and pass along to be spot-on accurate. I recently had an extended consultation with James, and I found that he has in-depth knowledge of the tax laws. His explanations were in plain English and provided great clarity. His demeanor is kind, helpful, and reassuring. He is a valuable professional resource.

I had been attempting to work with the IRS on my own, until my revenue officer levied my bank accounts and my wages with zero communication beforehand. I realized that I was in over my head and needed to get some assistance. I called Attorney Wade’s office in tears and he promptly called me back and his responses truly honored the urgency and fear I was feeling. I met with him first thing in the morning, and the mess of paperwork I dropped on his desk closely mirrored the mess in my mind. He reviewed my notices and very calmly and clearly explained the options I had, which had not been presented

In a day where communication is often a strain, Jim breaks down that barrier and kept us informed at all times. After our first meeting with Jim, we knew we had made the right choice for our needs.

€When I found myself in need of a tax lawyer (for the first time ever) I was terrified. Mr. Wade immediately addressed my concerns and helped alleviate my anxiety. He explained every step to me in a language I could understand and updated me the entire way. He was able to not only help me remove my tax burden, but found an extra $22 the IRS owed me!!! I could not have asked for a better experience and I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family!”

My husband and I were looking to qualify for an offer in compromise with the IRS to pay off taxes that we owed. We hired Mr. Wade for a very fair price. After he investigated and crunched the numbers in every way possible to help us, he concluded that we would not qualify. His commitment to helping us did not end there. He continued to work with us to pay off our taxes, offering his expert advice. He answered all our questions thoroughly and continued to help us see this through to the end. We are very grateful for all of his hard work, his knowledge in tax law, and his full commitment to us as

James was referred to me for a very cumbersome and daunting tax lien that was accidentally put on my home by the IRS. He gave me very excellent legal advice throughout the whole process. He reassured me plenty of times when I was so doubtful anything good would come out of it. He sure was right! He successfully and in a very timely manner got the IRS lien lifted from my home. As a single mother this was nothing short of amazing! He kept me from having to face painful agony from any financial tax burden that absolutely wasn’t my responsibility. I seriously can’t tell him thank you enough. He
