We received a CP2000 notice in which the IRS claimed that there was a significant underpayment on our tax filing. This was not the case so we were in need for a tax attorney. We could have not found a better attorney than Brandon. He helped us clarify our situation with the IRS and we were able to get the matter resolved with our desired outcome. Here are some key characteristics of Brandon: - He is very knowledgeable and has experience working in the IRS, so he really is an expert on tax matters. - During the initial consultation he listened to everything we said and then provided a very detailed explanation of the process. This allowed us to mentally prepare to what was going to come, greatly reducing the amount of stress due to our initial uncertainty of the process. - Throughout this 11-month process, he answered questions very promptly and very thoroughly. - He does not overcharge and provides detailed monthly bills (if any work done during that month) showing the amount of time spent and what was done. We never felt that the charges were unreasonable. Overall, we had a great experience with Brandon, and we greatly recommend him

Brandon Keim is BRILLIANT and KNOWS the system . He is an Attorney as well as a C.P.A. , which is a hugely IMPORTANT combination. Brandon knows the real estate industry and its nuances. Brandon is very efficient and direct. His time and total billing was very acceptable. His background and knowledge set fit my circumstances exactly. Brandon achieved a great result ( FINAL SETTLEMENT ) for me and my family after 7 years of my adversarial fighting with the IRS. It took Mr. Keim a few conversations and letters and 3 months to accomplish MY IRS SETTLEMENT and its Completed , Executed "Offer-in-Compromise" . THANK YOU , MR. BRANDON ( KEIM ) - - - - - - - John M. Hill

We bought a house from a Canadian citizen and had no idea that it would be any different than buying from an American citizen. We used a title company and everything seemed fine until 2 years later when I got a tax bill for over $90k which included tax penalties, late fees and interest. I didn’t even know what FIRPTA was a the time. The title company withheld the tax but failed to pass that on to the IRS until a year after the sale. Bottom line: my title company screwed us over and the government was coming after us. I hired Brandon to help navigate these completely unknown waters. He had a great knowledge base and had dealt with similar cases. We were able to get the IRS to fully abate the penalties, late fee and interest. Brandon even went after the title company and they ended up paying all of our lawyer fees. We had a great experience using Brandon and he has my highest recommendation.
