Working with Daniel Layton was beyond positive. He immediately assessed my situation and went to work on a very complicated situation. After years of hitting dead ends, Mr. Layton was able to come to a positive solution in a few months. He is competent, professional efficient and experienced. Initially I thought I was unable to afford a lawyer but his fees are beyond fair. I would highly recommend Daniel Layton. Because of his expertise and willingness to help me, I have my life back again.

I found Daniel when I moved to California after a divorce and was having a hard time dealing with the taxes owed because of my ex-husband. I didn't understand anything. I found him on google and it was like a gift from heaven. I was desperate. Daniel immediately made me feel comfortable and explained everything to me. It was a long process but he got me innocent spouse relief and the tax liens released. I trusted in him 100% and still. I have worked with other attorneys on tax issues and none of them compared to Daniel.

I contacted Daniel after I received a letter from the IRS that I was being audited. I was feeling very lost and overwhelmed with the prospect of an audit, the number of items the IRS was requesting and the short time frame to respond. Even though I had "audit insurance" from the business where I had my taxes prepared, I felt uneasy about their proposed approach and felt I needed a second opinion regarding my situation. I was impressed with Daniel's credentials, education and experience and contacted Daniel's office and was able to book a consult with him the next day. Daniel reviewed my audit letter, my documents and explained to me in detail the issues with my returns and what the IRS was questioning. He put together a detailed response addressing the IRS' concerns and an index of the documents that addressed their concerns. Daniel kept me informed throughout the proces and his billing was extremely reasonable. My tax issue was favorably resolved thanks to Daniel.

Most everyone had several firsts during the Covid year of 2020. At the top of our first time list was the need to hire a tax attorney to help us through multiple issues with a past tax year. Daniel Layton provided us with excellent guidance, organization, explanation, and representation throughout the entire process of dealing with the IRS. We know as a fact that hiring Daniel prevented a disaster if we had tried to deal directly with the IRS on our own. We can also say with confidence that there is not another tax attorney with Daniel's unique combination of detailed tax law knowledge, personal empathy, and hard work. This combination produced what we considered to be a very favorable outcome. One that would certainly not have happened without Daniel. If you find yourself in the situation of needing to hire a tax attorney, we enthusiastically recommend Daniel Layton.

Mr Layton was highly recommended. I felt more comfortable knowing he had first hand knowledge from working at the IRS. Not only that, but Mr Layton is genuinely kind and concerned with helping you. Lastly, and unusually, his billing was very reasonable for his excellent advice.

Several taxation concerns about the planned future sale of my house had been on my mind for months but after finding Atty. Layton through Findlaw, he quickly returned contact, and arranged a short consultation that was more helpful and responsive than most of the previous inquiries I had made elsewhere. He asked several important questions, gave me some insightful suggestions that changed the direction of my planning and left me content that I was on a path to resolution. His manner and attention impressed me, despite that my needs did not involve litigation. Thank you, Atty. Layton !

Layton through Findlaw, he quickly returned contact, and arranged a short consultation that was more helpful and responsive than most of the previous inquiries I had made elsewhere. He asked several important questions, gave me some insightful suggestions that changed the direction of my planning and left me content that I was on a path to resolution. His manner and attention impressed me, despite that my needs did not involve litigation. Thank you, Atty. Layton !

Working with Daniel Layton was beyond positive. He immediately assessed my situation and went to work on a very complicated situation. After years of hitting dead ends, Mr. Layton was able to come to a positive solution in a few months. He is competent, professional efficient and experienced. Initially I thought I was unable to afford a lawyer but his fees are beyond fair. I would highly recommend Daniel Layton. Because of his expertise and willingness to help me, I have my life back again.

I found Daniel when I moved to California after a divorce and was having a hard time dealing with the taxes owed because of my ex-husband. I didn't understand anything. I found him on google and it was like a gift from heaven. I was desperate. Daniel immediately made me feel comfortable and explained everything to me. It was a long process but he got me innocent spouse relief and the tax liens released. I trusted in him 100% and still. I have worked with other attorneys on tax issues and none of them compared to Daniel.

I contacted Daniel after I received a letter from the IRS that I was being audited. I was feeling very lost and overwhelmed with the prospect of an audit, the number of items the IRS was requesting and the short time frame to respond. Even though I had "audit insurance" from the business where I had my taxes prepared, I felt uneasy about their proposed approach and felt I needed a second opinion regarding my situation. I was impressed with Daniel's credentials, education and experience and contacted Daniel's office and was able to book a consult with him the next day. Daniel reviewed my audit letter, my documents and explained to me in detail the issues with my returns and what the IRS was questioning. He put together a detailed response addressing the IRS' concerns and an index of the documents that addressed their concerns. Daniel kept me informed throughout the proces and his billing was extremely reasonable. My tax issue was favorably resolved thanks to Daniel.

Most everyone had several firsts during the Covid year of 2020. At the top of our first time list was the need to hire a tax attorney to help us through multiple issues with a past tax year. Daniel Layton provided us with excellent guidance, organization, explanation, and representation throughout the entire process of dealing with the IRS. We know as a fact that hiring Daniel prevented a disaster if we had tried to deal directly with the IRS on our own. We can also say with confidence that there is not another tax attorney with Daniel's unique combination of detailed tax law knowledge, personal empathy, and hard work. This combination produced what we considered to be a very favorable outcome. One that would certainly not have happened without Daniel. If you find yourself in the situation of needing to hire a tax attorney, we enthusiastically recommend Daniel Layton.

I was feeling very lost and overwhelmed with the prospect of an audit, the number of items the IRS was requesting and the short time frame to respond. Even though I had "audit insurance" from the business where I had my taxes prepared, I felt uneasy about their proposed approach and felt I needed a second opinion regarding my situation. I was impressed with Daniel's credentials, education and experience and contacted Daniel's office and was able to book a consult with him the next day. Daniel reviewed my audit letter, my documents and explained to me in detail the issues with my returns and what the IRS was questioning. He put together a detailed response addressing the IRS' concerns and an index of the documents that addressed their concerns. Daniel kept me informed throughout the proces and his billing was extremely reasonable. My tax issue was favorably resolved thanks to Daniel.

Most everyone had several firsts during the Covid year of 2020. At the top of our first time list was the need to hire a tax attorney to help us through multiple issues with a past tax year. Daniel Layton provided us with excellent guidance, organization, explanation, and representation throughout the entire process of dealing with the IRS. We know as a fact that hiring Daniel prevented a disaster if we had tried to deal directly with the IRS on our own. We can also say with confidence that there is not another tax attorney with Daniel's unique combination of detailed tax law knowledge, personal empathy, and hard work. This combination produced what we considered to be a very favorable outcome. One that would certainly not have happened without Daniel. If you find yourself in the situation of needing to hire a tax attorney, we enthusiastically recommend Daniel Layton.

Daniel was superb. He is experienced, intelligent, caring, and gets the job done. I have had several attorneys over the past few years and Daniel is the only one I had complete confidence in. I am so appreciative of the work he did for me and highly recommend him.

Mr Layton was highly recommended. I felt more comfortable knowing he had first hand knowledge from working at the IRS. Not only that, but Mr Layton is genuinely kind and concerned with helping you. Lastly, and unusually, his billing was very reasonable for his excellent advice.

Several taxation concerns about the planned future sale of my house had been on my mind for months but after finding Atty. Layton through Findlaw, he quickly returned contact, and arranged a short consultation that was more helpful and responsive than most of the previous inquiries I had made elsewhere. He asked several important questions, gave me some insightful suggestions that changed the direction of my planning and left me content that I was on a path to resolution. His manner and attention impressed me, despite that my needs did not involve litigation. Thank you, Atty. Layton !

Working with Daniel Layton was beyond positive. He immediately assessed my situation and went to work on a very complicated situation. After years of hitting dead ends, Mr. Layton was able to come to a positive solution in a few months. He is competent, professional efficient and experienced. Initially I thought I was unable to afford a lawyer but his fees are beyond fair. I would highly recommend Daniel Layton. Because of his expertise and willingness to help me, I have my life back again.

Daniel is an exceptional Tax Attorney with unparalleled knowledge, having served as a former IRS trial attorney, and ex-federal prosecutor. Daniel is extremely articulate, honest, accessible, and yields positive results for his clients. He bills fairly, and accurately. Daniel is by far, the best tax attorney in Southern California.

I found Daniel when I moved to California after a divorce and was having a hard time dealing with the taxes owed because of my ex-husband. I didn't understand anything. I found him on google and it was like a gift from heaven. I was desperate. Daniel immediately made me feel comfortable and explained everything to me. It was a long process but he got me innocent spouse relief and the tax liens released. I trusted in him 100% and still. I have worked with other attorneys on tax issues and none of them compared to Daniel.
